Vet min contract. Doesn't affect the cap. Good team guy. No negative value here.

Great resigning for the minimum. Like last year he will be needed at important times. Excellent 3rd string center.

Are you criticizing the Knicks or Taj? This is a great move for the KNicks - good veteran contributor at a min contract. Gives a good effort every night and is quality insurance for 2 injury prone bigs.

Yep yep. He is one of our most important bench players. Good signing

He’s all class. Needed to happen. He played great and no one is going to accept the role he plays here and do it as well as he does.

He was really good for us last year.

He's a Thibs guy and that's for sure. If both Robinson/Noel stay healthy and/or Mitchell Robinson gets into early foul trouble he's a player who becomes strong depth @ Center and can also play PF too.

I actually love this addition.

If things go well, he doesn't play. If something comes up, he's ready. Tough to find a guy who will accept that role, produce, and still be a positive locker room presence at the same time.

Glad he's back. Was more worried about him retiring than him going elsewhere. Thibs is loyal to a fault, but his guys give it right back.

Thats just it, Robinson and Noel can't stay healthy, so i would think you would want better talent behind them. Hell.. mitch is still in a walking Boot, no basketball activities in 8 months and training camp is in 60 days..

Taj is good guy, and I don't mind him on the roster if just for locker room purposes, but we now have 3 offensively challenged centers, there's really no balance in that..

Superior guy...superior leader...and he can still play.

I think Taj is like a favorite quilt...the player equivalent of comfort food for Thibs.

I have a feeling Taj will log a lot of minutes moving forward. And that they’ll be productive.

I expected a more cap-friendly deal for Rose as well.

Taj at this price is a great bargain.

Depth signing. 82 game season coming up. I don’t expect Taj to play as extensive minutes next season but he’s still good for 15 mins off the bench if someone is injured

Don’t be shocked if Mitch is traded next February deadline

Let's hope he and Noel can pass the skills on to Mitchell. Now that they got paid, should not be an issue for them.
