He's dangling...He comes with risks. He played well in limited opportunities last year. Everyone knows this guy's talent is off the chain. He still has incredible physical gifts.

He had his best statistical season under Kurt Rambis....so he knows the triangle very well.

Rumors say he's available for a minimum deal. If so I say we sign this mofo

Not about the talent, it's the other things he brings.

Last season he actually argued during a game with the coaching staff of a team that has been to the finals 4 straight years over a defensive play he himself missed.

Even with that Miami oprobably would bring him back.

I'd sign him and take a chance. I know he's a head case but he's so young and talented
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

I agree. Interesting combination of youth AND experience (been around for 6 seasons but still only 25), he'd up our talent level and increase frontcourt versatility (size and skill to man either F spot). On a vet min. deal, why not? If he became a problem or underperformed, we waive him. On a vet minimum deal, he's low risk/high reward.

Only thing: supposedly being eyed by several teams -- why would he choose us? Could we guarantee him enough PT? Not sure...Is NYC, the Mecca and the chance to play for a team that has changed the culture hopefully toward being a winner sometime soon enough to sign with us? Surprised Miami didn't jump all over him after Lebron left..

Better option: Mike Scott or Michael Beasley?

Also heard that he is working out with Kevin Durant. He seems to be spending time around high character guys. Could be a good fit.

no motor no thanks
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Mike scott is a solid role player. one can argue that hes a stretch 4 as well. however he wont be cheap. beasley is so cheap because hes a headcase

Phil is not going to take a chance on a guy best known for his isolation offense and poor D.

Woodson might have found a place for him in his ISO heavy offense, but even he would have gotten sick of Beasley's inconsistent D.

EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

If it's a league min contract, it's a no-brainer.

For league minimum it's a decent gamble. Simply cut him if he starts getting up to his old tricks.

However, it does not bode well he couldn't even get it together on the Heat. Id say do it but not he shocked or surprised when he gets cut lose for acting like a knucklehead.

Has he said he wants to play there? Anyway, IDK, they offered Bosh 118 mil. Don't ask me to explain what they're doing.

From his agent this past week....

Jared Karnes, Beasley’s agent, said Thursday he has had more than one conversation with the Heat but “nothing has resulted in a deal. [Other] teams have called expressing interest. There has been quite a bit of activity the past four days. Teams are encouraged by his career-best field-goal percentage (49.9) … and his attitude when asked to play a reduced role.”

He played in Miami last season. He was benched for most of the latter part of the season including the playoffs.

Clearly you didn't read my post. Beasley had his best year in the triangle in Minnesota.

Since Kurt Rambis is now our assistant coach, and since he coached Beasley before, if Beasley has hope, Rambis will be on it and he will be here.
My bet is that Kurt didn't like the guy (since we haven't already signed him)...
