Would you let him walk to save $800 grand in cap space? Not sure there is anything to this given that it is Berman but I think the Knicks know a lot about Langston. Phil's guy scouted him and recommended the Knicks bring in for the summer leagues. He was brought to training camp, protected in the d league draft, worked with Knicks coaches in Westchester and has performed very well since being brought up. Also, he went to school for 4 years and was well coached. Can't imagine knowing much more about a first year player honestly.

My guess is they get this done, but I wouldnt be surprised in either scenario.

Sure its a lot more complicated then that though

Galloway would be signed by another team. Thanasis's rights belong to the Knicks so nothing can happen to him.

oh good

I thought Galloway was a protected d-leaguer. if he stayed there, no one could sign him except us.

...Or maybe some of you think he was a shrewd and tough negotiator, when he stopped Anthony from getting a better deal than the 124M/5yr, player option, no trade, $10M trade sweetener clause contract that he ended up acquiescing to.

I would give him this year, next year, and a team option for a 3rd year. At the very least Galloway is a 15-20MPG rotational guy who plays more if his shooting is hot on a particular night, to a guy with a ceiling of 15 PPG, 4 APG, 5 RPG, and 1 SPG, good D rotational player/starter getting 25-30 MPG.

Phil would be foolish to let him go at this point. Galloway is no savior, but he looks like a keeper at this point.

No the Knicks were allowed to protect three players that they had in training camp from the d league draft. They were still free agents in regards to nba teams.
