New York Knicks 2013-14 Season Thread

Supposedly a good Euro player but he cannot leave Greece until next year with a buyout.


From what I've quickly read about the guy...

21 years old, Solid mid-range shot, doesn't have a lot of speed. Plays with intensity on defense, can block shots. Will have trouble because he's not big enough to play the 4 so he's more of a small forward. A smart player. He's an explosive dunker

^ In other words, a garbage pick. So what else is new?

Amar'e is working out with Olajuwon this off-season and Chandler may join them.

Nice.

[IamMedellin]

EVERYBODY WORKS OUT WITH Olajuwan, how come nobody works out with Patrick

You cant teach that footwork

CP3 declined a 3 year, $60 mil extension with the Clippers.

This shit is about to start allllll over again.

@FisolaNYDN: Lot of NBA execs believe Chris Paul is still hoping to find a way to get to the Knicks...won't happen this summer. Maybe next July

[EmpireWF]

lol at CP3

NYP says Knicks may try a sign and trade for Nash. But they cant seriously think about trading Shumpert.

And some team may give Lin a backloaded deal while the Knicks may not be interested in matching.

Everyone WAS working with Ewing a few years ago. Dream is the new go to guy.

If we give up Shumpert for a 38 year old pg(who'll only play a couple of years), I may turn in my Knicks fan card. Knicks always do this shit with their young players.

3-years and $20 million...that's the offer sheet Toronto signed Landry Fields to. Knicks have 3 days to match.

I can't see them matching...that's ridiculous for him coming off a bad year. He's not worth it to the Knicks.

WHAT?!?!

how can I become an NBA GM? I wanna be able to burn through 20 million on stupid shit

[Rayman]

Raptors cock-blocking.

 

[Chrispy]

We need to keep him for his GF

[jeffx]

I'll give up Landry Fields before Shumpert. Shumpert's not a pussy on the court.

[EmpireWF]

Knicks are frontrunners for Nash.

It'd be nice but they're gonna give up Shumpert to get it done. I don't fucking believe it. The one guy not named Chandler who commits to defense and was actually a game changer in that regard. Who the fuck is going to play the 2...and don't even talk about JR Smith that moron.

Nash and the Knicks are in the critical stages of discussions on a three-year deal worth between $27 million-$30 million to be executed through a sign-and-trade deal with the Suns. The Knicks would send rookie guard Iman Shumpert and two players – including Toney Douglas and Dan Gadzuric – to Phoenix for Nash, sources said.
