Realistically that will not happen, so with regards to Jennings and Rose I want to see how the season folds out first. Who holds up the year and how. Additionally what is the asking price.A few years ago Rose was looking for the max. If he is still looking for the max, that is for him something like 30 million a year, I pass. If he is able to hold up this season at 16/5 a night and play 70+ games, I would be willing to do 20 million a year at 4 years, with a player opt out after 3. For Jennings, same deal length at 10 million per year. Have to see fist what the team results are, and where these guys are in April. Can they keep this up (and improve) all year? Lets see.

He is good coming off the bench tho just pushing the pace and setting ppl up. Would be happy to go forward with rose but we cant risk a max on him, and i highly doubt phil would.

Agree on both points although Jennings d isn't bad. If Jennings was worth that much why didn't he command more than 1 year 5mm? 3 yrs 27 mm is more than reasonable. Also Rose is not a franchise player I'd rather pay him reasonable 17-18mm for 3-4 years but no way would I pay him like Conley

I think we need to re-sign Jennings no matter what but would rather him stay as our backup PG cause the energy he brings off the bench is amazing. Rose is playing pretty damn good and he hasn't even found his shot yet which is gonna come soon and he'll be unstoppable when he does. He's never been a great shooter but he used to be pretty good and would have his nights where he had his shot going that he can light it up but if his shot does come back with the incredible things he does taking it to the basket he's easily a max player and there will be a team or teams that will give him that even with the injury history IMO. So maybe we get lucky and he loves it in New York and wants to stay but he's not gonna love it enough to take $10 mil per less a year to stay. We're talking $10 mil per guys which is an unbelievable amount of money even for multi millionaires.

Thats practical Briggs... no question there. Does it make sense though? Essentially you are saying you are not willing to pay market value to keep either Jennings or Rose. You are not willing to pay them what guys like Crabbe and Turner are making. So in being practical you leave yourself with Sasha, Baker, Randle as your PGs. You will have a first rounder to use. You will have $30mm in cap space (assuming you let Holiday walk). Where does that leave you? You think CP3 is coming here? Zero chance. You will end up paying $12mm out of desperation for Paddy Mills or Beverly or some role player getting grossly overpaid in a sellers market.

There's a lot of season left. This thread is 70 games Premature

Jennings' D is absolutely awful. Any 2 man game against Jennings and Willy is destroying us. He is 100% lost off the ball allowing breakdowns.

Jennings as a knick has played good d in my opinion. He puts a lot of pressure on his man. Pretty sure he has been praised for his play on d either by Breen/Clyde or Hornacek.

No disrespect to Breen or Clyde, they are legends, but Breen has very limited knowledge and the game has clearly passed Clyde by or his eyes aren't what they used to be. They aren't insightful at all and it's been that way for a long time tbh.

There's a reason we have one of the worst defensive units in the league. But I'm not trying to generalize. I'll see if I can put together some video evidence to back up what I'm saying. But BJ is a guy if you watch closely is constantly making mistakes on the defensive end. More than most guys on the team, whether it's beat off the dribble, failing to pick up in transition, missing rotations, beat back door, etc.

Breen was a ref. I do the clock at work for some games and refs have to know the game. Clyde has been around the game forever. How does the game pass you by when you are doing games 4/7 nights a week. I would love video evidence proving my eyes wrong about Jennings. He is a pest and disruptive.

Maybe I should make a video on the ridiculously inaccurate things Breen and Clyde say. They know more than the average fan but that isn't saying much. But I get it. Not a popular opinion. I can already tell I've dug a hole for myself in this thread calling out our 2 favorite broadcasters. But it is what it is. I call it how I see it.
