Good discussion folks, I like Conly, but not at 20 millions. He is only worth 12 millions in my opinion. However, I would pay Westbrook that kind of money.
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

If as you argue he's make the Knicks a championship contender, you write the check.

What is the value of that extra $8m if you aren't a championship contender?

You want Westbrook, starting engineering to have $32.5m in cap room in 2017.

The question is: does Westbrook want the Knicks?? Top dogs never want to come to NY

You'll never know until 2017. If you want to find out, you got to save the $32.5m

Split PG minutes between Calderon, Grant and another guy?

Bryce Cotton about to sign with Suns.
Let's get Erick Greene before it's too late.

If you hadn't noticed Fish has lost confidence in Grant for now. And Calderon probably should be traded.

Fish lost confidence in himself.

Beverly belings to Houston I believe. We have an open roster spit. Hell if it was up to me I'd sign Greene and Murry and maybe Perry Jones too. Bye bye Sasha and Amundson. I know it'll never happen but they only hurt us anyway and have no future.

That is a nice signing for the Suns.

Just watched Perry Jones highlights and I don't think he stays in the d league for too long.

We're building for the future and need help with our bench. Open slot too and some deadwood. Why not grab Jones and Greene at the very least?

You know that I like Toure too. He might be our best PG the minute the ink dries on the contract.

Come on Phil...do it for me!

That dude will never get minutes under Fisher. The problem in my opinion is the 13 men rotation. Sasha has not blessed us with good plays for a while now. And Fisher moved the second unit from a fast uptempo bunch to a half court squad, which will not benefit a young guard like grant. The dude is at his best when we are in the open court, so are Early, Gallo and Williams

You mean that you don't like Sasha Thomas O'Quinn and Seraphin playing at the same time? ?

I don't want Westbrook here on a 5 or six year deal playing into his 30's.
His motor and athletic prowess are his biggest assets and I'd be suspect of its longevity.

Once can say the same thing about any other player.

OKC will ask itself the same question. The kid no doubt can play.

Knicks1969, who else do you want? The reality is the success of the team is predicated on something you can't see coming. The NBA is about acquiring undervalued assets. Its easy to pay full retail for them but you deplete the roster in the act unless the team is stock piling assets for trades.

Ideally I would much rather want to acquire a second tier PG who has been in the league for three plus years and has proven to be capable of penetrating, making a shot and defend. That is why I would have loved to have P Beverly

I think it'll just go unfulfilled. Conley doesn't want out and the Grizz ain't trading him. Plus the Knicks don't have the assets. Kind of end of story?

Martin,who do you think the Knicks should go after as a PG? We need one desperately.

This is not the year to worry about making headway in the playoffs, it's about maxing out KP and Grant and Gallo potential. It's about seeing what they have in Seraphin, DWill, Thomas, Rolo. It's about making the Triangle work much better than it has.

There is no doubt that the Knicks are desperate for a PG, but they aren't desperate enough to give away future assets willy-nilly. If a no-brainer deal comes up, then yes.

Seems like you are in panic mode even though the Knicks are outpacing any realistic goal, they are 8-7 while playing the 5th toughest schedule in the league.

This is a grow year, not a must-win year.

+1
Next year all our younger guys will come back better and adapted and our team chemistry will look much better.

The Future is Bright!
