And what is sad is that you are so upset with me, even after I have pointed out that the Knicks haven't resigned any of their draft picks in decades.... yet I am crazy.... listen, I know there is hope, but you have to have some basis for that hope.. Like you, I hope the knicks keep shumpert... but I am not betting on it at all. there is no evidence to support that they will...
but hey, you have every right to root for the knicks the way you want, as do I..
I believe David Lee was re-signed once on a one year contract.
Re-upping on a 1yr offer is not necessarily re-signing your own draft picks. They gave Lee and Robinson slight increases in pay from their QO to not disrespect the agents that represented them, forcing them to play for their QO. Especially since the QO technically represents the last year of their rookie deals.
TKF is saying we have never kept home grown talent with extended yrs contract offers and you know this to be true.
Shump is next, once a sexy starfudge name surfaces
Lee was re-upped and/or resigned. You can employ whatever semantics you like. They could have easily let him walk.
As for Shumpert, the SUNS wanted him in a deal for Nash in the off-season. The Knicks refused.
You mean Donnie Walsh would have been stupid enough to not extend the QO giving up our right of first refusal? We extended the QO let... Lee hit the market.... Portland established approximately what his dollar value was at the time(I believe wanted to offer Blake/Outlaw in a S&T) and we gave him a 1yr 7mil deal. Once again the QO is the last year of a Rookie Scale contract....
By technicality it was a new deal because Lee did receive a raise and couldn't be traded that year without his consent but....
Sorry that's not re-upping your guy....we gave him a raise on his QO nothing more nothing less.
ROTFLOL @ you
Laughing at people make "points" on not resigning/extending/dry humping over No DLee and Nate the traveling wonder bug.
Please, go back to telling us how great the yoots were...here...before Stat.
DLee and Nate. SMH.
You people sometimes approach making even Dolan look like Einstein.
Please learn to follow a thread correctly. Please that's all I ask of you
If you'll please try reading comprehension first. Who exactly were the Knicks supposed to re-up, re-sign, re-invest, re-enable? Toney Douglas? Channing Frye? Trevor Ariza? John Wallace? Dontae Jones? Darko? Maybe you'd like to float Fred Weis out there, huh?
There are other threads on Knick historical draft uselessness. Try following the logic/pointlessness behind the thread, rather than blindly following the thread.
And remember, this argument is being supported by logic like "Jerome Jordan, please come home" "Where's Nate?" "ahhhhh, yoots..."
Is Shump the next coming of MJ? He's a very good player, and I like him alot. And losing him is not a given.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future considerations, despite jettisoning Jorts, who faded at the end of his tenure here. And I'm among those who are constantly talking him up on this board.
