once a knick, always a knick

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

Gordon 4 years 53 millions to the Rockets. 5 million more than Lee's contract. Wonder if the money made a difference or if Phil decided that Lee was a better fit than Gordon?

Lee was Phil's 1st call so Gordon was only a fallback. In the end we got the player we wanted for less. Can't beat that.

Yep, Gordon was a worse fit and a much bigger injury risk on top of all our other injury risks.

To help put the contracts signed this offseason in context:

So Noah was basically $12mil under last years cap, and Lee is only about $8mil

I can do better than that.

Cap was %58.6m (give or take a few K) for 6 seasons, which went far to setting fan's relative expectations for salary.

The cap is going up to $110m next year.

Noah's $16.9m in 2017-18 dollars, would have been $9m in 2008-14 dollars.

We should have gotten a higher pick for Rolo. All this crazy money for big men.
