He reneges on verbal deals. He is a role player, not an allstar.
If exams are competing for him that sets the market. Many of the teams owns picks by the top teams.

Yeah, I keep forgetting that he is a free agent this Summer. No fringe team is going to give up assets for a first round exit and a lost FA. It’s going to have to either be us keeping him or giving him for a late first rounder and/or an ok young player.

They don't even realize we have been doing that stupid sht for 6 ys, and it's amount to 6, 50+ loss seasons, and haven't drafted a game changer yet

Trade away the best players, and start all over next season, and round and round we go, that's the mills way.

How about keep your best players and add better complimentary players

Agree with this. We need to keep guys that show they can play here. Said on another thread, if you extend him a couple of years, he would also have more value if you decided to trade him down the line.

He is obviously playing to get the same or more as he's getting from us (15); so we need to take that into consideration, i.e., contract years often bring out the best in a player

If we were smart we would be trading him to the highest bidder. Period. Let the market sort that out. We shouldn't be targeting any particular teams.

It would hurt us to trade him but it would also be smart because we're selling "high". (Not that i expect this from the same FO that sold KP low -- i.e., when injured, disgruntled etc.)

Yes, exactly right!

If I’m Perry I’m not looking at contenders to trade Morris to

Perry has been part of 13 straight losing campaigns, do you really think he knows what he's doing.

After fumbling the melo and the KP trades, and blowing through 74 million dollars you still want perry to make moves for you..OOOKAY

that's a bit like saying Michael Jordan at age 25 and 5 seasons owned a .500 record and was never going to amount to anything.

I disagree about the Melo and KP trades. You have to grade them on what was available at the time.

Melo was a phenomenal trade. We got something (Robinson) for basically nothing.

And KP - while DSjr looks like complete garbage right now, he did not at the time. We still have 2 first rounders, and we cleared cap that eventually turned into a mix bag of Morris, Randle & some other players that probably don't stick.

And without that trade, who knows - maybe we lose KP for nothing - then how would that look?

Give Perry a chance - that is what has crippled NY and their efforts to rebuild.

When was the last time you seen perry conduct an interview about the state of the knicks by himself....how about NEVER.

Did you really compare MJ situation to perry...Perry has been a bad exec for over a decade and he's here for the Money and Title.

The Kings hired him to be assistant VP of basketball operations..basically he's George Costanza working for the yankees..

Melo a Phenomenal deal????wtf You got a second round pick for a HOF..

Did he fumble the Melo deal? Seems like he was put into a tough situation there and turned it into Mitchell Robinson.
