With Derrick Rose on board, some in the Knicks organization want to make a run at Bulls center - and soon to be free agent - Joakim Noah, sources say. Noah is close with Rose and has a good relationship with Knicks star Carmelo Anthony. He also grew up in New York. The Knicks sent center Robin Lopez to Chicago in the Rose deal and are in need of a big man. They will have at least $30 million to spend in free agency this summer. Another name to keep in mind is Dwight Howard. Sources say Howard would consider signing with the Knicks. It is unclear at this point if the Knicks are interested in Howard. Signing Howard to a max deal would eat up most of New York's cap space. It is unclear what kind of offer Noah is looking for. Other outlets have reported that the Knicks are interested in Noah. The trade for Rose on Wednesday only bolstered that interest for some in the organization.http://espn.go.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0537376789773687943-4 I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

Then first sub out KP moves to the 5.. something like that. He would really be a great role player for us... I would be thrilled to have him for a few years.

I like him. I can see him back chilling in Williamsburg on the coming home tip. Short term deal and a lot of yoga hopefully all you need. Help with durability and temperament! No hothead techs in elimination games

Remember that this team has a good amount of cap space to go after a top FA and STILL have some money left to get a guy like Noah. You have to find vets who can give you good minutes. Then you fill in with your young guys on the cheap. |

I would take a run at bill russell ... he looked great at the finals ceremony. He would also be great for KP.

If he's cheap, I'm not opposed. His passing is great and his defensive and rebounding is very good.

StarksEwing1 wrote:Id rather get noah than howard to be honest Agreed. Howard would make no sense at anything close to a max. We can probably offer Noah a one year deal to prove he is healthier. I kinda like the fact we will have two guys with something to prove. Have always liked Noah's hustle and fight. It also doesn't hurt that he has played several seasons with Rose. If we can get him cheaper than Rolo and on a one year deal, don't see a problem. 'Knicks focus should be on players that have grown up playing soccer or cricket' - Triplethreat 8/28/2020

With Noah I probably overpay on a one year or give him a 1 and 1 second year if the price is low.

I'm on board with Noah. He had a bad year but is still only 31 and can recover.
