Does signing Precious affect what they can offer another player atm? If so, that would be my guess.

Not really. Since they have his bird rights and aren’t hard capped at the first apron there isn’t really an impact on signing him and signing another player for the taxpayer MLE for example. Knicks can sign him to a reasonable contract and also sign someone like Paul Reed for 5.2M.

Gotta wonder if the Knicks are still in on talks with Utah about Kessler. Ainge should be in no rush to deal until he gets his price.

I don’t remember the exact details but Ainge has to wait until Aug 9 on any extension of Lauri and that has his salary cap on hold. That may restrain him from making bigger trades and ultra flexibility in moving other pieces, ie Kessler.

Reed was waived so he had to pass through 30 teams. Pistons were obviously high on the priority list and could absorb his contract. Unfortunately needed to clear waivers to hit free agency.

No one else has signed him. Why? Maybe there is an agreement in place- that we will sign Precious - we have the dollar $ - he and his agent know it- and they are waiting for the next to make an additional move?

There are two facts - he hasn’t signed anywhere and we haven’t signed him.

He played, I thought, exceedingly well for us.

Other teams should be able to see that. If Hartenstein got that kind of offer, why nothing similar ($5-8m per) for Precious?

KFS podcast was talking about how a potential sign and trade might be the reason. I think it might give us more flexibility, and might give Precious an opportunity to max out his earnings. That said, we might just eventually sign and keep him.

If we keep him, he's a nice player. And he'll make a smaller payday, but probably be thrilled to remain in NY. Just my opinion.

One would think that he is worth the taxpayer MLE level contract and has probably been offered that, so Knicks must have given him assurances of a deal that exceeds that, either by S&T or staying here.

Still say they bring back Achiuwa and give him a solid contract they can use in trade between Dec and Feb. A lot of center options to reassess then. I was thinking Valanciunas at that point once he’s eligible for trade. Steven Adams and Rob Williams are options too. If the Knicks want to add some center depth in addition to Achiuwa now, they can trade Sims or Bates-Diop along with a small draft asset to Portland for Duop Reath. I’m not sure if he’s better than Achiuwa, but I know he’s better than Sims and gives us an option to try out.

Unemployed Donte. I don't think anyone has signed him.

I remember Evil Donte playing well on his next team. Surprised he hasnt been picked up by a team, unless it was short lived.
