We've already established that it's not likely that Marc Gasol would leave and come here.
Okay well OKC has matching rights on Jackson
We'd have to offer full max in order to steal him
The only caveat with him, he's made it known if this hasn't been discussed
He wants a chance to start wherever he lands
This would basically deaden Calderon for 2015-2016
Jackson would start at the 2. He and Calderon are a great fit together. Not like Westbrook and Jackson who are very similar.
I agree. If Calderon could start with Ellis he can start with Jackson. Also Jose could come of the bench as well. There are options. The idea is to improve the talent on the roster. Phil should have a lot of flexibility to make moves before the trade deadline and after the season.My issue with your take F500ONE is that you're attempting to make coming to NY sound unattractive even tho we have money, a Pick, Melo, Phil and a fresh start in a new and big city may just look more attractive for a guy like Monroe or Jackson. If you were a young rising talent why wouldn't you want to be a starter in NY for years to come?
That means absolutely no Shumpert{I'm Good There]
Jackson is not a 2 guard, would not work in this system
New York hasn't proven to be the super attraction
Even when we had a clean slate in 2010
Players do not want to put up with the tumbling elephants
Fire breather, Lions jumping through rings of fire,
And hire wire Trapeze acts, yes the circus isn't as chaotic
But there's always the Melo affect, perception, and New York Media
So I take it you don't believe in this franchise at all? You don't seem to believe that this team can EVER be built into a contender? There seems to be no player we can convince to come here because in your opinion it's a circus. I can't get on board with that kind of thinking. However, if we can't get the guys we're going after the team still has a good cap situation and a pick going forward. They should be able to remain in play for the next run of Free Agents in 2016 as well.
