They should cut Jack but they won't. I bet Jack keeps starting or will be playing at least 10 wasted minutes every game. Horny doesn't care about a youth movement, he cares about his w/L record.

You would think they had meetings during the all star break. Perry wouldn't be bringing in young guys like this if his intent was to never play them. I can see Horny self preserving for a future gig. He's a guy with pride... but Perry clearly shifted our mindset to a full on rebuild now that KP is gone. We gotta see.... the rumors that Horny has a physical confrontation with Noah tried to go viral but it failed. It's a new day.

It's only a 10 day, so I won't get my hopes up. I'm hopeful he gets minutes and works hard in practice. If not, bring the next guy up. He seems like a perfect 3 @ D fit tho.

Would that be the best long term move for the Knicks? Or would dumping him like that look bad on the org?

I think dumping him would be really bad. Maybe a Noah buyout is the better move if they want to open up another roster spot.

There's no reason to buy out Noah even more so now that KP is done for this year and most, if not all of next year as well.

Would like to see Perry launch operation "Noah to Minny". Thibs has done a good job building and coaching the team. Still has a bit of a sentimental streak. If Noah came back and played like 80 percent of vintage Noah. Knicks might be able to work something out beneficial to both sides in the offseason.

Butler has lobbied for Noah as well. Noah needs to play for this to work. Really dont want to see Noah get a buyout.

This is where GMs prove themselves, cleaning up old mistakes.

It would be really hard to match salaries and i think the Knicks would have to include an asset. If the Knicks wait until the end of the season and then stretch his deal it isn't quite as bad. If Noah wants to play this year he would need to give some money back. I didn't like how Jeff handled his minutes against the Warriors but coming in out of shape, getting caught using peds etc. is on Noah.

Depending on how things shake out, Minny might be short of second round picks for the next few years. Wouldnt be against Perry throwing in the ones we got for Willy if we got a contract back with a year less. Would set us up well for free agency.

Dont know if there is a contract that would make it work.

Jeff seemed to say that the young guns will get more run now. He has nothing to lose now by playing them and everything to gain. It's established the vets can't win and continuing to try that will likely see him out after this season. But if one of the youngsters balls out, he'll save his job even without winning.
