Now Imagine if we took back 3 stiffs, gave one of them a 3 yr deal, added to our salary cap situation for an extra year and got a late 1st rd pick and 2 2nd round picks in return. Toronto got a good deal FOR THEM. We got a good deal FOR OUR SITUATION.
It's questionable whether an unhealthy, 7' volume scorer is even better than a 6'10", healthy, efficient scorer anyway. There's no way we should be giving up any picks in this deal.
So you expect Toronto to take back longer contracts, for worst players, without receiving anything of value?
No, they're getting the healthier and probably better player. Almost every advanced stat I see on Bargs indicates that he's a net negative for his team while Novak is a positive role player.
Pick a completely random 10-15 games from this past Knicks season, watch them from start to finish, and then with a straight face tell me Novak was a positive contributor.
How do you want me to assess "positive contribution"? Is the team consistently going on good runs with him on the court sufficient? What about highly efficient scoring? You gotta be more specific first. Then I (might) look for a 10 to 15 game stretch.
Note that it's rare that Bargs even stays healthy let alone contributes a net positive impact for 10 to 15 consecutive games anyway though.
