All players I can see the Knicks offer a maximum contract to.

The max contract landscape has changed. A 25 million a year player is what used to be a 15 million a year guy. Melo who has been overpaid in my opinion even his contract will look much better in these next 2 years if he is still playing at his current all star level.

There's a two way Player that gets it done. He would complement Grant/Wroten/Galloway push the ball up the court, play lockdown D and lead this team to content with Cavs next year. If not in Boston then to LA

KP/Rolo/KD/Bradley/Grant
Williams/Thomas/OQuinn/Wroten/Gallo

You do not max out a guy that only gives you 15 and 6 at the point guard spot. Just about every staying pg in the NBA can do that. He's the only established pg starter on the market. Let someone else over pay.

yeah since when did conley become a max player.

Couldn't agree more with you guys. No way you max out Conley or come even close to maxing him out, I don't care how much the cap went up.

He would thrive even more in a high tempo offense with primary and secondary breaks. He can push the ball himself in transition or run the floor and finish well in transition.

I think DWill opts out. I thought that the article was what the author wanted to happen. I can't imagine DWill playing for 4 mil next year with the cap going up so much. Also, I am not positive Afflalo opts out.

If Afflalo does not opt out, it would disappoint a lot of Knicks fans here.

Knicks would need a very good PG they can afford to make it work with two former scoring champions on the roster, and a budding franchise player to keep busy as well. One more reason to keep someone like Lopez who doesn't complain about touches.

Not against it, but it would be very important to find a PG smart enough to keep everyone on the same page. Dont care how much the Triangle is run, we would need a very solid PG with playoff experience. Doesn't have to be in his prime, just enough left in the tank for a couple of seasons while Grant and Wroten develop. Thats what the Knicks need even if Durant doesn't come here if we want to watch them make a run at the playoffs..

if KD did come here then I'd say NY would have a 55% chance of landing Paul the next summer.

They can both play SF or PF so not sure what you're talking about with the same position. Depending on who the other team puts on the floor at SF and PF is how you decide which spot KD and Melo will play.
