I do read we need to clear more to get Durant Max deal at 38mm.
I can't speak for if that's what he is looking for despite the logic that players don't leave money on the table.

perhaps we can clarify before we start dumping contract threads.

Is that taking into consideration only $1mil of lance’s contract is guaranteed?

We should not be trying tuioi sign a max FA. We are not ready.
Agree that we shouldn't prioritize Mudiay over Frank. It's a really stupid thing to do. That's the kat that had me bothered about what Fizdale is trying to prove. We are not going thi win with Mudiay type players. We proved this with Melo, they are not good for a team. But we can't seem to shake off this obsession fir empty stats quoted from 5 game shooting streaks. Sucks to he Knicks fan when you have to put up with people who worship this ****.

If KD wants to come here, we are suddenly pretty ready! We've certainly stumbled of late, but for the most part, I think our effort, upside and a healthy KP with a KD makes us a 500+ team, with upside from our youth.

As far as Mudiay, we have to see if there are diamonds in the rough and players worth keeping, Mudiay is one, I think, and with no guarantee that KD is coming, we have to build depth and talent.

And what exactly has Frank done with his time to earn more time?

Now- I don't want to let Mudiay go to sign KD- he is great, but needs help.

I think Lee is a horrible contract that I never liked and if we can dump it-even with the cost of an asset like Frank or Burke, we should do it.
