He's putting up 11/4 as a starter this year. I think he'll be ready to be the permanent starter next year and put up at least 13/5 (probably more) as a then-20 year old, in which case he'd be much more expensive to re-sign than he will be this year. It's really important that the Knicks re-sign him this offseason, unless they plan to hide him again next year by playing him only 15 mpg, which would be a plan I wouldn't like. He should be our starter next year and with a contract that gives us his Bird rights.
Chill out! You sound like "Rainman"!
Knicks have a history of not being cheap. We take care of our players even when we make promises that don't make sense years later.
Dolan is a lot of things, but he keeps his word. I thnk Isiah and Dolan have noticed young Reezy's progress and potential.
I don't think we going to screw ourselves into a "gilbert Arenas" type situation where we can't reasign the kid as he got priced out. Look, if the kid don't sign and wants the big bucks now, he'll get traded to a team that can pay him. That sucks, but what are you going to do. If he does not sign, we can sit his ass and move forward, but I think a trade would be a priority before.
We hold some strings, and if he has an agent with half a brain, he'll work with the team on something.
