If I wsa the Raptors Id say sure give us the 2018 and 2020 picks for Uriji--see ya. Uriji doesnt hold Pat Riley's jock strap.

Right--100%. Dolan seems to have money coming out of his ears--let him use that.

Free agency opens July 1. As of Wednesday evening sources indicated the request had not been made, but that can change with a phone call. Despite the contract, sources indicate Ujiri can leave if he wants to leave. It’s really up to him.

The author seems to indicate an opt out

Is Ujiri a good GM? Take away his transactions with the Knicks, what has he really done?

He doesn't have an ego like Phil.....hes a NY guy who would hire the right people for NY.....like Mark Jackson and others.

I like Kenny which is why I'd hate this job for him. I use to like Chris Mullin and what he started out in Golden State. His loyalty to Monta Ellis concerns me but other than that, I thought he did a solid job....and he's a NY guy. If he lent an ear to the analytics community, I'd interview him.

Kenny Smith is an interesting choice...he does like the Knicks genuinely and doesn't just say that after getting hired like so many execs we've had. We do need someone who would take things a bit personally in the front office when the Knicks are shunned etc.

He also recognizes that he may not be the smartest guy in the room and is willing to take criticism or advice. We do not need a one-man show. Isiah and Phil had that kind of leverage and is one of the bigger reasons why we are in this mess, because one man thinks he can fix the knicks by making unilateral decisions.

Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

I rarely disagree with Kenny Smith. We just click for some reason.....More than Mark Jackson who's SAS favorite. SAS hurt himself with the KP thing for me. We need a NYer with thick skin ....and a sharp mind for today's game. but still in touch with the 90s defense. I thought Dantoni was fine. just needed an old-school Charles Oakley in his ear to preach defense.
