Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Please lord, no! Why are people pretending Dinwiddie didn't just have his second ACL tear less than a year ago and looked like trash this season before he did it. The money he's saying he wants is beyond ridiculous |

These posts are reminding me of the argument this board had against getting CP3 from the Pelicans. My only questions on Dinwiddie are his shooting and his head. With a changing NBA rules on drawing fouls, not clear to me a guy like Dinwiddie will get as many foul calls. His outside shooting has been suspect. His loud disparaging talk against the Knicks makes me question whether that personality is right for this team. Other than that, sign me up. You know I gonna spin wit it

N.Y could offer Duncan Robinson $20M and still have $32M remaining. Riley could match that $20M and Miami would then have $0.00 remaining (they'd be screwed). Trust me man. Pat Riley doesn't want any smoke with our New York Knicks this offseason. If we want Duncan Robinson? He's ours. And all Pat Riley can do about it, is watch. |

• In 2019-2020 Brooklyn let's him start again. 49 starts. And congratulations on another losing season of 35-37?
This guy is absolute crap and he's got a career 3PT% of only .318%.
This guy isn't worth anything more than $5M and I'd be pissed even @ $5M if he took any minutes away from either Quickley or McBride @ PG and I'd probably quit basketball if he prevented us from signing a Lonzo Ball, CP3, Graham or LLowry type of PG etc. This guy is a career loser. He's injury prone. He's damaged goods and he's pure trash. |

“He’s one of those guys that continues to get better every year,” Thibodeau said. “He and Kyle, that backcourt is about as good as it gets in the NBA. Both of them are great competitors. Smart, tough, and they make their teammates a lot better. DeMar has added a lot to his game. He scores in so many different ways. He puts a lot of pressure on you. He’s athletic and he’s got a great demeanour about him. He doesn’t get rattled. I watched them a lot this [past] year and I thought he had an unbelievable season.” https://www.nba.com/raptors/holly-blog/lowryderozan-082616 I'm living in an echo chamber here. but the more I think about... 1. Everybody. everywhere says Lowry and DeRozan are best friends. Knicks are the only team that can offer them both big contracts. 2. This loves these guys! He knows them pretty well from USA basketball. 3. They fit right in. No one could accuse them of chasing rings. They will be real contributors and not be a sidekick. But Knicks are deep enough that Randle and RJ can pick up the slack. 4. It's New York. |

I mean. I could understand the "hype" if he actually contributed to Brooklyn's playoff run last year. But he didn't. Because he only played 3 games. And only averaged 6 points off the BENCH. Because he tore his ACL (again, x2). No thnx. This guy is absolute trash. And is already 28 years old (damn near 30 years old). |

Yes, he didn't look good in the few games he played last season, but small sample size. Imagined if we judged RJ on the first few games he played last season? Dinwiddie is a good player, but he clearly isn't a first option and he shouldn't be the one heaving up threes at the end of the shot clock. How much is that worth? Personally, I wouldn't go past $15M per. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Guys like THJ, Fournier, Dinwiddie are in the same tier as players IMHO. I'd probably have Dinwiddie slightly higher on my list since he fills a more immediate need. Fournier takes slight edge in terms of regular season. But, this is without even looking up, I want to say Fournier's performances in the playoffs are some of the biggest statistical drop offs I've ever seen. THJ is who he is. We've seen enough of him over the years to know what he can do. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
