If you need a vet, give Collison a 1 year deal. The idea is to give the young players as much time as possible so they can better as soon as possible.

A deal for Rubio would be the best. I am for Lee for Rubio.

A better overpay is for George Young who is a pretty good 2-way player. At least over Rose and Teague. However I totally agree with Mills. He's the defensive team first guy we really need as part of a culture change. I would much rather overpay for Mills (say 3/$45mm) than Teague or Rose, both of whom are prob in the $20-$25mm range.

Agree with this line of thinking. We need to give minutes to Frank, not start the season assuming he can't play, which is typical Kincks approach

Speculation is Minny is doing the deal to open up cap space to signnLowry.

Makes a lot of sense- Lowry added to that twolves roster should be pretty good.

source downplayed the reported Knicks interest in Indiana guard Jeff Teague.

If its not Rubio, or Teague, Id rather the Knicks wait for the new GM to make the call.

If Minny wants Teague then who will sign Lowry? I wouldn't mind doing that either.

Good question. I get the feeling they want Lowry first, Teague second. Lowry is no scrub but seeing how he had trouble at times handling the pressure in Canada, makes you wonder how we would handle NYC and the NY media? Wouldn't be mad if Lowry was signed, but I hope the Knicks explore other options first. Probably couldnt afford him anyway.

I thinks it more about not putting too much pressure on an 18 year old playing the toughest position on the court and providing a cushion for him to learn at his own pace. At this point Rubio would be perfect. Gives Frank two years to learn the position. If he's the man you turned it over to him. If not you didn't go all in on him and you look elsewhere or possibly resign Rubio.

What is the pressure? As long as we are not stupid enough to try to "Win now", they should get reps against quality opponents and learn the right way to play the game. I don't care if we win 17 games, in fact that maybe the best thing we can do long term. Then we will have a really good pick next year.
