I'd have to think he is minutes restricted, but if he get his Triangle down and be healthy for the playoffs its the kind of deal that can make an impact on the court. He can be our "Rodman" without the drama.

There's now rumors coming out that he would re-sign with the Bulls but that's just talk and we won't ever know the real truth unless Noah himself says it but i would absolutely love to have J.Noah on our Knicks. This guy is the poster boy for team player and he's all energy all the time. This the type of guy every winning team should have and he makes everyone around him on the floor or in the locker room better. When a guy goes down on the court Noah is the first one over there to give him his hand and help him up. I would love to have him and L.Thomas with us next year and on and i view L.Thomas in the same way when it comes to true team players. If we could get him and a legit SG this off season i think we're automatically a playoff team.

Noah is breaking down and free agent, while Pau is also a free agent.

Gasol . . . instead.

Nobody is a bigger Noah fan than me but at this point, I would not want to invest too much money in him with his injury / health history.

Great team guy, great guy, great leader etc ... how much is that worth? We already have that type of person in Rolo so add another it would need to be for a really good contract.

Noah and Rolo may be close to the same but not quite cause Noah has a 15 foot jump shot that he can hit at a good rate and has better athleticism and can play the 4 as well as the 5. Now of course we'd have to be careful on what we pay him and could maybe even get him on a prove yourself deal but if he'd accept coming off the bench and playing around 20-25 minutes a night that would help him with staying healthy hopefully.

I want to invest in the backcourt and stay as is until next summer to see what is out there. We need to preserve max cap space and Noah seems like a setup for failure. I may also be in the minority here, but i still believe O'Quinn can be a solid backup center here. I think with O'Quinn and Willy as reserves, and KP shifting to the 5 in a "smaller" lineup, we have more than enough at the center position. If anything, we should be targeting an athletic backup PF, if we are looking to add to the frontcourt.

You're definitely in the minority with KOQ being a good backup center, the guy doesn't wanna play under the rim where the center needs to be. He doesn't play defense and isn't a good rebounder and i don't know how many times i saw him get the ball under the basket or close to the basket and not do anything with the ball but pass it back outside. He has a decent outside shot and is a good passer for a big man but if anything he's a backup PF that can play some C if needed.

same for conley to replace parker.

I think P.Gasol will be replacing Duncan for the Spurs.

he is not even a decent backup. He is pretty awful.

why does everyone keep mentioning the idea of rolo being traded?? Seems like nobody really appreciates him or thinks he is valuable enough to us to want to keep him.
