DeMare Carroll to the Spurs I liked him on the Nets 2 years, 13 million. That’s a GREAT contract, fits an exact need the Spurs had. I love this. |

Wow, lots of action even so far.
-KD to the Nets. Kinda seemed like a foregone conclusion the past week or so. Hey, remember midseason when all of the media acted like Durant was already a Knick? The media is trash, the NY media is trash, ESPN is trash. Every year they try to sell "_______ to the Knicks!" for clicks and views, and every year nobody goes there. They have the journalistic integrity of Logan Paul.
-Jesus christ Phoenix. They move a pre-injury IT to stick with Dragic and Brandon Knight. Then lose Dragic. Then pass on De'Aaron Fox. Then pass on Coby White. And then sign Ricky Rubio for a 3-year deal after his stock took a tumble in Utah. His shooting is still horrible, his game isn't aging that well. This goes well past being cheap, well into being incompetent. They didn't identify PG as a need despite having the worst situation for 3 years despite it being probably the worst situation in the league at the 1. They blew actual depth at the position, then waited forever to address it. Then addressed it by giving one of the worse starting PGs out there 17 mil a year instead of paying two YOUNG guys a rookie deal.
-Butler to Miami would be great, depending on what Miami gives up. Picks would be ideal for them. Philly looking sad IMO. Losing Redick, losing Butler, but keeping playoff disappointment Tobias Harris. Tough off-season, losing two good deep shooters while needing to cover Simmons' lack of threes and Embiid's complete lack of efficiency from beyond the arc.
-Great come up for the Nets, but why DeAndre Jordan? Allen is a solid center, and does the same things. He's a rim protector, he can board (though not as good as Jordan.) This is a classic "Yeah, let's get him too!" move where the team is so drunk on the high of it's other moves that it impulse buys a guy who, if he was the only signing, people would have disapproved of the fit. But in a list of FA adds below KD and Kyrie, Jordan looks nice. I don't like it.

Knicks didn't even offer KD the max. DAWG I don't blame them BUT if it was me i'd take that gamble You don't blame them? Captain, you've got Stockholm Syndrome! You traded Porzingis for a guy your team passed on for Frank Ntilikina. So you could sign "more" free agents. Then a guy who was putting up 35 a game in the playoffs before injury comes along and you don't feel like maxing him? Your payroll is nothing. I get that the injury is questionable, but a player like KD is what that piggy bank is full for. You didn't trade KP for a chance to sign Julius Randle. |

Like I said I don't blame them because if they aren't fully committed this was going to be bad from the jump. I'd take that gamble 100% but if the Knicks aren't in it 100% then don't do it because they setting themselves up for failure from jump and they wouldn't have known how to manage him considering you had to be careful with him moving forward The team seems like it would had no f***ing clue how to manage his time their |

3/63 Randle to the Knicks. Meh Randle showed he can be a 20 and 10 guy but yeah they are pretty much on auto pilot for the next few years it seems trying to build the team up as opposed to a quick fix |

Knicks still got $50 million to blow
Hopefully Randle is the only guy they put that type of money on. Everyone else should be one and two year options

You have a chance to sign a guy who was the best player in the league 3 months ago before Kawhi took the crown, and you didn't even try to max him. You moved a young All Star for room to max a FA (or two, lol @knicks delusion), and then the biggest FA fish comes along and you passed on maxing him! Stop with the "You don't know him like I do" stuff. You're in a bad relationship, Captain. |

You're in a bad relationship, Captain. The problem with that theory is it's not like they moved KP on their own for cap space. He forced their hand and they had no choice. He wasn't going to come back and he was going to go to Europe to rehab so that relationship was done They SHOULD have maxed KP. F*** the risk if he is willing to commit. But they didn't so now the Knicks are in the realm of wanting to be that young team 2-3 years from now with something to market I'm not even mad at the Knicks just disappointed. We shall see if this falls into the realm of old. At least with them not offering KD the max, the hope is they had a backup plan as far building the team up over the next few years as opposed to a quick fix and betting it all on KD |

If I am the Knicks I make a push for D’Lo. I'd give him the max He's forming into a superstar and he's not afraid of being the guy. If you giving Randle 3 years of big money, I don't see why not for D'Lo |

Him leaving and them not wanting to try to max KD is the cause and the effect. It's not the next domino falling, it's a cycle. Not at all. He left because he didn't like the way he was treated personally. Since the shit with Phil trying to trade him, he had a bad vibe with them. He was upset they wanted him to sit out the year once Feb came around (which the Mavs made him do to) so they can improve their odds on a draft pick, sign a player and give KP the max. He said no and he is going to rehab in Spain and leave the team unless they trade him. Add on the rape case they knew about since Dec and they decided to wash their hands with him KP being traded and not giving KD the max has no correlation whatsoever. Now the f*** up in that is, they were willing to give KP the max after a torn ACL so why not the same for KD but the achilles is a diff beast |
