You guys can't see Penny's value right now, but if we make the playoffs this season, you will think twice about what you have said about him...Penny has the kind of game that a lot of teams desire in a 6'7" type of player. He can post up, run the ofense, plays decent D, has pretty good court vision, and so fort. Now, his price is too high because he no longer has the athletic ability that he once possess, but he is still a pretty valuable player......Ariza is being mentored by him, and that is a good thing....If he agrees to receive the midlevel next season, Isiah should consider keeping around.
THAAAANK YOU...
i was reading this thread getting so frustrated... everything you said was on point, along with others who realize his value...
pennys a solid player, and i'm sure that even he knows that he's not worth his contract... but whats done has BEEN done... i would love to see him take the midlevel extension next season...
even if he's traded, which is almost definate, i would like to see him sign with the knicks after his contract expires at the end of next season... i'm positive he would play for damn near league minimum... the man's a katrillionaire with like 3 mansions...
you guys's love for ariza is turning you into penny haters... i love ariza too, but don't become blinded and start bashing penny just because he's on the court and trevors sitting down... a lot of times penny's not even playing at the 3 spot, he's in the 1 or 2 spot...
