well I say 7-8 at most if everything looks great. Crazyd wants to start him at 15 million. Fans are terrible GM's.

I think the best comparison I herd is he is slightly better Ray Felton(the skinny version)

Where did I say $15M? I've said I think it'll take $12M to $13M year 1.

For the record I asked you to name one dude you'd sign and you couldn't come up with a single realistic name.

Bayless is more a shooter and less a playmaker than Jennings, to my mind. But I think he'd be an upgrade over what we have here.

I agree but the knicks do not need playmakers. They are both very flawed players that bounce to and fro from good season to bad season to healthy and unhealthy. Now if you can get Jennings for $5m then sign him up. I'd also still go after Bayless for depth because Bayless is a $3-5m type guy at best also

Maybe the Knicks can get Jennings for a deal like Rondo got? 1yr $10M?

I just think he is far better than he's shown this season. He's probably not fully recovered from his surgery. Usually they say it takes a year.

This is why I think he gets way less than $10m. Plus his reputation around the league. Also, Rondo is a former championship winning pg that had major playoff success. That will get you more money than someone like Jennings imo. Honestly, I think Skiles keeps him in Orl and ships Watson out of town but if he goes it's D.Will land.

Jennings is unrestricted. And the backup in Orlando. I think if we promised him at least a *shot* at the starting job in NY, he'd strongly consider it.

Thinking about it - I do think the Nets will try to overpay him.

I think I can honestly and impartially say that the Knicks are in better shape than the Nets and Sixers.

What other teams desperately need a PG? Maybe Sacramento if Rondo leaves?

Most teams have a PG, it's a PG-driven league!

Payton is out again so Jennings should be getting more playing time Orlando. It will be interesting to see if he ups his value at all.

he's a bum.
