Question regarding kyries contract and rookie contracts overall:

How long are these contracts? It seems like its about 3yrs then they become restricted free agents...then theyre signed to longer 3-4yr deals. So overall, if the player is good..theyre basically signing a 7yr deal

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

yea it's a way to keep the high picks with the drafting team because some of these places, no one would ever sign for!

1st round picks all have the same basic contracts, the only thing that changes is the money involved. Rookie contracts are all 5-year deals. Years 1 and 2 are fully guaranteed, years 3 and 4 are team options, and year 5 there's a qualifying offer (QO). Year 5 has 3 options.

If a team gives the QO a player can sign it and he would be under contract for one more year and then become an Unrestricted Free Agent and would be free to sign with any team he wishes. If a team gives the QO and the player doesn't sign it he becomes a Restricted Free Agent and can negotiate a contract with another team but his original team has the right to match. A team can refuse to offer the QO and then the player becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent.

With a player like Kyrie Irving, he basically has a 4 year deal and then Cleveland will match any offer for him. If you're a great player drafted in the 1st round you can expect to be with the same team for the first 9 years of your career: the first 4 years of your rookie deal and then a 5-year max deal after that.

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

HIS DAD and I went to the same JHS although 3 grades difference. I am younger... but his dad was a hell of a player.. I mean a hell of a player.... I used to watch his dad play a lot. he along with kenny Hutchinson, and Rod strickland were my favorite HS players...

Nothing like the local NY/NJ baller legends. Kyrie tore ish up at St Patrick's. Somehow if Kyrie landed in NY(in my wildest dreams), I have a feeling his homecoming would turn out alot different than Marbury's.

Oh yea, first of all Kyrie is a bright kid, a likeable kid.. and then you don't have the Isiah factor. Honestly, I think marbury had his issues, but I think Isiah did him more harm than good.. he enabled marbury to no end, and that ended up biting this franchise in the rear end. I thought larry brown could really help marbury and maybe he could of had Brown had the backing of management.... I honestly hate the way things ended up for marbury..

A kyrie/ shumpert back court would be very interesting... call me crazy, but I think THJ may end up being a better offensive player than shumpert. He is not as explosive athletically, but he can shoot.. add that dynamic with an all around stud like Irving and now you are cooking... I could build a team from that point on..

One can dream, can't he... LOL

kyrie played his ball at the town next to me his first two years of high-school ... wish i knew about him back then would have loved to see him play at montclair-kimberely.

having him come back "home" to the knicks would be pretty sweet.. he's definitely a very smart kid, i don't think he'd have any of the problems that marbury had.
