I forgot about Willy....but you have to think......Is Whiteside 20million dollars better than Lopez? It's not even feasible to have Lopez and whiteside on the roster taking up 37 - 40 million in cap space. Whiteside is only a slight upgrade over Lopez......A sign and trade with Lopez going to Miami is really the only scenario I can see Phil doing. Otherwise, there are better ways to spend 20 million next year. Phil has already proved that he's not willing to give out a max contract unless it's a proven star like Durant. We still have multiple holes to fill, especially off the bench.

Yeah i'd rather keep R.Lopez to play down low with KP6 and sign N.Batum. I would really love to add Batum to this roster and a athletic 3 point shooting guard.

I am sure that he will be many teams number on target. Whats cool is that NY may finally have regained its lure.

Winning cures everything. If we are still the 17 wins team from last season, we will have the same issues

are we the same as last years team?
