Yep, but I think we all saw that coming going into the off-season. Who knows, maybe he takes the vets minimum? A new coach might convince him he has a chance to showcase himself this season. I don't see many teams lining up to sign him.

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. - The Tick

If I was a vet min guy, I'm not sure I'd look at this Knicks roster and think Yeah I'll get playing time.

Would a trade surrounding Mitch and Deuce for Duren and Ivey make sense between NYK and Detroit? We clear a little more cap space to maybe add a vet instead of a rookie. Might need some picks to even this out. Both Duren and Ivey have been on NY’s radar.
You know I gonna spin wit it

No I can’t see them doing something like that.

I hear you but thinking about say Timmy/Clarkson off the bench at guard - that sounds a tad risky.

I'd prefer maybe someone with a bit more defense but still a shooter -- Shamet maybe? or C Houston from Orlando -- I suggested earlier Caleb Martin I think was bought out by Phx or Hou.

Rookie wrote:So we have a bunch of youths all fighting for the last 2 roster spots on rookie minimum deals and two 2 way spots

James Nnaji
Dink Pate
Kevin McCullar Jr
Mohamed Diawara
Biwali Bales

Don't think Nnaji, Pate or Bales stand any chance. Diawara probably in same boat - stays in Europe.

McCullar maybe or a trade goes down and someone else comes in.

Since Yabu signing caps us at 2nd apron already.

Could we still find a creative way to S&T Precious out -- not sure if we'd be able to add anyone in with him to move salary and maybe get another player/contract back.

My brain is telling me we almost have to cut Precious.

I thought Precious was a UFA?

Can still sign and trade though right if it helps the player get to a team and Knicks get something back.

Problem right now is we can't take hardly anything back in a trade without another player or more going out in a deal.

Posted elsewhere but think I want Dante Exum with our last vet min deal.

Adds ball handler with size, good perimeter defender, safe with ball and knocks down 40% on 3s on limited volume.

Can play off/with Jalen, Clarkson, Deuce.

Biggest thing is adding another ball handler with size and someone who can 1) defend perimeter and 2)knock down open 3

I'll take Shamet, Payne, Seth Curry or Doug McDermott for the last spot.

Ian said we touched base with Ben Simmons (and Shamet) but we need to make a small trade to shed salary if we want to sign one

We can't. We are hard capped. He is a goner unless we bring him back on amin

Id rather go with Shamet over Simmons, even though his ceiling is higher. His actions in Philly didnt show much character, and I havent heard a "mea culpa".

Shamet was benched for a long stretch. Stayed ready, and chipped in when he got the call in the playoffs. Easy choice for me.

I don't get where Simmons even fits unless you're signing him specifically as a situational defender. But he comes with a lot of drama and bs so I wouldn't even touch him.
