Was this mentioned today? G. Dragic want to become a free agent this summer. Miami has the advantage but he didnt look to impressed there. would absolutely love to see him on this knicks.
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 love the way he plays- not sure our system is a fit, but would love him here too depending on our draft - we need help in the back court in the worst way. Would love to swipe him from miami, especially after they paid a premium to get him.

I heard something on cbs radio and then they teased a trade that a team might regret but the trade was the KG trade for minny. I was thinking it was Dragic because of the two picks given up.

2 first round picks and a 5 year contract- terrible deal that bizarrely got universally praised at the time, but will get panned in a year or two (much like the Paul Pierce and KG to Nets deal)

horrible move by miami if they dont keep him.

I feel embarrassed for Dragic for this move. He should stay with Phoenix but that's too idealistic.

For the Knicks, I rather look for something else as I sense that he would become Udrich after he comes here.

Tough one, SHved and Dragic are quite alike. As much as I would be enarmored with the idea of him coming here, do we really need to throw money at him?

I'm going to wait and see. I don't think Riley will allow another free agent to leave he will over pay for Dragic.

I dont think he is worth a max deal to be honest. A lot also depends on who we draft.

I just want a PG that can create, finish around the rim, knock down a open 3, and is smart.

He's really good. Im not sure its where I want to throw my money. $15mm is a lot but he's very skilled, very heady player

I would emphasize on defense for the PG position. After Felton and Calderon, I don't want to see career nights from the opponent PG anymore.

He will absolutely max him out- look at Riley's track record.

He is likely to get $20m+. So pass.

Sounds like Patrick Beverly would be your choice. i want to see a defensive PG and defensive Center. Thats a true culture change for us. Starks and Ewing
