But Al and KP are perfect for each other.

Big men last long, look st dirk, gasol, Duncan etc...all quite old but can still play.

Yeah, I forgot about Horford honestly...

that'd be pretty perfect.

Would you max Horford and then go backcourt by committee? Horford will take a max, I imagine, or close to it.

I would if we could. If we max horford how much money left to get a SG,backup PG, and Lance Thomas?

His max starts around $25M - All other teams can offer up to almost $107 million over 4 years ($25m to $26.125m to $27.25m to $28.375m with the 4.5% raises).

I think that'd leave us around $10M to fill out the roster.

We can go over the cap to re-sign Lance and Langston to deals that start at $6M per - I hope we're able to do that.

So it'd basically leave us ~$10M to get a SG and backup PG... we'd prob have to say goodbye to DWill.

Wow. If Gallo six million per then I wonder what a starting caliber guard would get

The pickiness around here is unrealistic.

We have a bunch of guys here who keep acting like we have a chance to sign Durant, of course they're going to be disappointed with reality.

I remember those saying we overpaid for Lopez. Imagine what those same will say this year.

They could offer Howard or Whiteside similar money and it would make more sense.

I was shocked when i saw this and also don't believe it. I don't care what the salary cap is cause there's no way Noah is worth that kind of money and i'm a huge fan of his and want him with the Knicks.

They probably already know whether they have a chance at Howard and Whiteside or not via their agents.

Who knows if there's any truth to this rumor... but there are only a few top players and almost every single team has the ability to make a max offer. Teams are gonna bid one another up to the max on the top PGs and SGs and Cs... and it's a pretty weak free agent class.

oh ... btw ... how much range does a 120m noah have?

Noah hasn't signed or even been offered any contract yet and i don't believe he's gonna get that contract.

Sullinger on another note is very skilled and a wide body and young but his weight is a problem.

What about I.Mahimi??

I wouldn't say no to him.

Can we make him an All-Defensive first teamer just to be sure?
