Honestly speaking if I were a family member I would tell him to stay away from NY. This place will eat him up and his family will have to read all about it. Better in Orlando or some other place. This place is nothing but trouble. Just look at Copeland, Sefolosha, Antic these are just visiting players and trouble finds them.

New York is a great city but there is just way to much trouble here. This is an ideal place for growth to be stunted for young players.

Based on your post I fee sorry for our draft pick tho.

Lol, no family member is gonna tell their family "hey dont cash in and play here in front of us at home". Trouble can find you in Iowa. Stay away from the clubs and likely spots for things to pop off and chances are you'll be ok. The incidents you mention dont happen to NBA players or other types of ahtletes all the time, they are exceptions, nothing more.

Based on your post I fee sorry for our draft pick tho.

You know the media here is brutal. I know trouble can find them anywhere but being in and near NY don't you think these incidents tend to happen here more often. By the way Harris is a good player he can cash in anywhere I think his family knows this by now.

I was watching Dwight Gooden story the other day and being young in the city and the 24 hour atmosphere can be poisonous. This place requires an individual that can handle the city. Lately I have see players that become trapped by the city. JR Smith is a prime example of a hometown player that had trouble. The draft pick we get I hope is mature beyond his age because that is what is required to play here. You need a lot of focus because the distractions are everywhere. He is going to have to come with the Derek Jeter or Eli Manning maturity level.

Just look at LeBron in 2010 he had no intention of coming to NY. Sure he had his super friends. But make no mistake he wanted nothing to do with NY.

Most of the trouble Gooden (and Strawberry) got into was in Tampa. Very easy to find trouble there. Left that city in the late 90s. Can't wait to finally leave FLA for good next month.

Do I really want Tobias Harris for 14-16mm---personally no. He's injury prone and his talent level is all over the place. He puts up stats but they are somewhat hollow.

Danny Green is the guy I DO not want. He brings Nothing to the Knicks that we cant get for MUCH cheaper. I agree with PJ that we need some guards who take it to the basket. If I want Green Id look through rd 2 for a 3 point shooter than pay Danny Green 8-10mm as he doesnt drive the ball or much of anything else.

The guys we want--were not getting. Monroe would help but is he a game changing talent? He's been a main player on a team that has averaged 26 wins since hes been there. Im not sure on Monroe he may be a case of beggars cant be choosers.

Yes, there are lot of SGs that shoot 42% from three who can defend 1-3. He is also a good shot blocker and gets steals. But hey, to each their own.

Look at what the Hawks did in 2013 when they got an all-star in Millsap at a 2 year deal (and Millsap was not one of the top 5 heralded guys in that class). There will be value guys to be had at shorter deals, especially due to the significant salary cap increases over the next couple of seasons as guys look to be in a better position to take advantage of that situation.

Nevermind the triangle or Phil's sales skills....just for the sake of getting a bigger payday eventually or getting more recognition, there will be guys that will want to come to NY to play on a bigger stage and to showcase their skills. The most important thing for us is that Phil targets the right guys and doesn't put us in another Amare situation where we get stuck behind a massive contract that doesn't come close to reflecting the value of the player. Based on Phil's comments in the Town Hall and in the media lately, i think he realizes the importance of this.

There is no reason why we can't come out of free agency with 2-3 quality starting caliber players that will put us in position to make the playoffs next season. Both fans and the media just need to be patient because there will be no short term solve to get us to contention in 1 season....our roster was never in a good position for us to get there that quickly and we are going to be in asset accumulation mode for at least another 1-2 seasons. That doesn't mean that we can't at least be competitive next season though and I think that has to be the short term goal for now.

He's a product of having the Spurs low post game and system.

I know you don't care about defense but Green is one of the top defenders at his position..

Danny Green was found cheap in rd 2 I think yhe Knicks can find their own role players. We need to fo us on the post dribble penetration and rim protection. I'd spend 90% of my assets there. No Tobias Harris no danny green harris is a hollow player and green is a role player in a good system that we can mine ourselves.

Do I really want Tobias Harris for 14-16mm---personally no. He's injury prone and his talent level is all over the place. He puts up stats but they are somewhat hollow.

Danny Green is the guy I DO not want. He brings Nothing to the Knicks that we cant get for MUCH cheaper. I agree with PJ that we need some guards who take it to the basket. If I want Green Id look through rd 2 for a 3 point shooter than pay Danny Green 8-10mm as he doesnt drive the ball or much of anything else.

The guys we want--were not getting. Monroe would help but is he a game changing talent? He's been a main player on a team that has averaged 26 wins since hes been there. Im not sure on Monroe he may be a case of beggars cant be choosers.

Yes, there are lot of SGs that shoot 42% from three who can defend 1-3. He is also a good shot blocker and gets steals. But hey, to each their own.

I literally spit out my coffee reading BRIGGS statements about Danny Green. We should be so lucky to snare him from the Spurs. This guy is a ready made impact player despite what some may think. This is why I did the WS/48 list cuz sometimes the eyes fool you about who is good and who isn't. Just look at where Danny Green comes out in the list.

He's a product of having the Spurs low post game and system.

I know you don't care about defense but Green is one of the top defenders at his position..

Danny Green was found cheap in rd 2 I think yhe Knicks can find their own role players. We need to fo us on the post dribble penetration and rim protection. I'd spend 90% of my assets there. No Tobias Harris no danny green harris is a hollow player and green is a role player in a good system that we can mine ourselves.

Do I really want Tobias Harris for 14-16mm---personally no. He's injury prone and his talent level is all over the place. He puts up stats but they are somewhat hollow.

Danny Green is the guy I DO not want. He brings Nothing to the Knicks that we cant get for MUCH cheaper. I agree with PJ that we need some guards who take it to the basket. If I want Green Id look through rd 2 for a 3 point shooter than pay Danny Green 8-10mm as he doesnt drive the ball or much of anything else.

The guys we want--were not getting. Monroe would help but is he a game changing talent? He's been a main player on a team that has averaged 26 wins since hes been there. Im not sure on Monroe he may be a case of beggars cant be choosers.

Yes, there are lot of SGs that shoot 42% from three who can defend 1-3. He is also a good shot blocker and gets steals. But hey, to each their own.

I literally spit out my coffee reading BRIGGS statements about Danny Green. We should be so lucky to snare him from the Spurs. This guy is a ready made impact player despite what some may think. This is why I did the WS/48 list cuz sometimes the eyes fool you about who is good and who isn't. Just look at where Danny Green comes out in the list.

He's a product of having the Spurs low post game and system.

I know you don't care about defense but Green is one of the top defenders at his position..

Danny Green was found cheap in rd 2 I think yhe Knicks can find their own role players. We need to fo us on the post dribble penetration and rim protection. I'd spend 90% of my assets there. No Tobias Harris no danny green harris is a hollow player and green is a role player in a good system that we can mine ourselves.

You do realize that Green would be able to fill the same kind of role in NY. A 3nD SG who is smart and team oriented would be a major upgrade for this team. Guys like him aren't really just floating around as you seem to be implying. Green has proven he can produce without being a focal point and that is a rare of important talent. There's a reason i've posted the advanced stats on Free Agents. Green is an impact player despite being a role player.

I think green is a product of his own system. He's not Kyle Korver because kk is much better at getting his own shots. Over 60% of greens shots are 3s he RARELY ever gets to the line because he has no dribble drive game. We need guys who can score in the post use the dribble to make plays and rim protection. Why do we need another guy who can't get to the free throw line. You're not looking at what the team needs. I'm not paying 10 mms for a guard to get to the ft line once a game

Do I really want Tobias Harris for 14-16mm---personally no. He's injury prone and his talent level is all over the place. He puts up stats but they are somewhat hollow.

Danny Green is the guy I DO not want. He brings Nothing to the Knicks that we cant get for MUCH cheaper. I agree with PJ that we need some guards who take it to the basket. If I want Green Id look through rd 2 for a 3 point shooter than pay Danny Green 8-10mm as he doesnt drive the ball or much of anything else.

The guys we want--were not getting. Monroe would help but is he a game changing talent? He's been a main player on a team that has averaged 26 wins since hes been there. Im not sure on Monroe he may be a case of beggars cant be choosers.

Yes, there are lot of SGs that shoot 42% from three who can defend 1-3. He is also a good shot blocker and gets steals. But hey, to each their own.

I literally spit out my coffee reading BRIGGS statements about Danny Green. We should be so lucky to snare him from the Spurs. This guy is a ready made impact player despite what some may think. This is why I did the WS/48 list cuz sometimes the eyes fool you about who is good and who isn't. Just look at where Danny Green comes out in the list.
