Hornacek said he expects Willy to sign. I'm not worried about him.

What are the limits to what we can pay Hernangomez... still a 2nd round draft pick rookie max, no?

Marks is one of the best with this type of stuff...and if he's wrong he will get back and correct it or add to it.

Am I wrong to think that $2.9M for Hernangomez is not a bad number for him? That's the starting salary equivalent to if he were a mid-first round pick.

Ouch, losing Williams is really really going to hurt. The other guys I can live with.
If we cut Williams we can't offer him that raise. That was our small chance of keeping him.
I'm sure Phil did all he could and had spoken with him anyway. But, I'm sure he would really really like to play here.
Maybe another 1 year deal? Free up some space by trading O'Q for a draft pick...

Nobody wanted Derrick Williams when we signed him. He's probably going to get 10 mill per anyway. We could only offer him 6... let it go. The Knicks will find a capable replacement.... Probably Lance Thomas.

G,Green played pretty good under JH in Phoenix

derrick won't get 10 mil per year. 8 or 9, maybe. but not 10. the market is drying up

There's still plenty of teams with plenty of money still to spend so i wouldn't doubt if he gets $10

Supposedly Miami is going to match Nets offer to Tyler Johnson.

I bet the Nets go after DWill once Johnson gets matched.

Wouldn't be at all surprisd to see DWill get 4yr $50M in this market.

I don't think the Knicks could create that much space unless they traded KOQ or renounced Lance Thomas. Keeping Lance is essential.

Also, I think Jennings is the better player with a much higher ceiling. Jennings was great as a floor general in Detroit before his injury. He was playing out of his frickin' mind. IF he's healthy, he could be a HUGE steal.

We're talking about ceilings? How old is Jennings? How long has he been in the league. At this point, he is what he is. Same with Sessions. But I agree with you about Jennings' time in DET pre-injury. The game started coming easier to him before that stroke of misfortune.

I think Jennings is still only 26. He came into the league at 18 or 19 after playing a pro year in Italy. I wanted the Knicks to draft him after they missed out on Steph Curry. Instead we got Jordan Hill.

This has been the off-season of righting draft wrongs with Noah and Jennings. And even Rose. Hopefully not too late.

Wait a minute, i heard they weren't gonna match that offer??

I saw a tweet that said they could fit him and were leaning toward it. I guess we'll see.

I think Tyler would count as $5m in each of the first two years of the contract for miami.

He can run the fast break, distribute, get into the paint, etc. very excited about this potential team now.

he has something to prove and he may get his chance in new york. i will be relentless in my critique and high in my praise depending on how good a teammate he is in every sense of the word.
