Now this s what I like to see play tough against a good team and lose by a few points in the end. Do this for the next 90 or so games and maybe we get a core together

I’d try to get Burke into a 4-5 yet 3-4 mm per year contract the Knicks got oquinn to take

Yeah he may take it. If they wait another year he could get twice that and at that price he isn't worth having

Im guessing that Burke's agent is going to point to Baker's deal and say "I dont think so". Its probably going to have to be more competitive, or Burke (at his age) will take his chances.

I don't mean to respond to any particular poster here but this is a big head scratcher for me.

First, we should already know that Burke has a team option for next year, or in the very least we can look it up very easily.

Also, what agent is going to sign a 4-5 year deal at 3-4M per? This is not 3 or 4 years ago when the cap was $65M.

People forget thst Baker was a better PG as an undrafted rookie, than former MVP Rose. He had the same problem as Frank, too unselfish. He's shown that he isnt afraid of contact, its time Baker took it to the rim with some consistency, the 3pt sbooting will follow. Without some offense, he's a borderline G-Leaguer.

Talk about a head scratcher. Read it again. I clearly pointed out that Burke might want to wait until his deal is up (whenever that is) than take a lowball multi-year offer, if the Knicks try to lock him in. Instead of exercising the team option, because he's playing so well. "Take his chances"

Didnt have to look anything up to see that.

yeah I know, I wasn't really responding to you, thus my first sentence.
