Get a shooting coach for our young players and he can just run his podcast and introduce the sports world to our young guys. They got 30M in cap space and 1 or 2 roster spots open, they might as well use it that way IMO. Why would he wanna tank games with Josh Giddey, he's like 40 years old.

Give me Reggie Jackson at 2/30 or 3/45 with a team option/partial guarantee on the third year. Reggie can at least shoot.

As a Duke fan I'll never forget all the hate my young boy JJ received coming into the league. Probably the best player in Magic history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming he actually meant what he said about wanting to be close to his family, but I could see him chasing the bag again if someone offered him enough money.

However, I agree with you, I don't think they are going to add Smart given their current salary implications. He is a young guy looking for his bag whereas the Lakers all in for a year or 2 of chip pushing. Smart is great guy to have in the playoff but I would imagine the Lakers would rather fill that with vets taking less to chase a ring. 3-way trade, Smart to Jazz, Ingles to Lakers, Schroder to Celtics.

Graham is a better shooter so I think you let him feast with the starters. But betting on us to land a particular FA with an actual market seems like a bad bet at this point.

And I do agree, it's unlikely he signs with us. We can definitely offer him the most money, but all signs point to him returning to the Clippers for 4/46.

NYRaider Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 2 hours ago, Kip Smithers said: He wasn’t a FA though. Teams would have cap space next year. The Knicks would’ve had to pay him more next year. Could look like a very good deal next year. The Knicks were reportedly going to be conservative this offseason to save cap space so they could pursue star players next summer. With the moves that they've made bringing back Noel/Burks/Rose, extending Randle, and signing Fouriner/Kemba they're already over the cap for 2022-2023. And that's without extending Mitchell Robinson and letting Kevin Knox walk. During the first 6 years of his career he averaged 0.4 3's per game at a 29% clip, last season he averaged 2.3 3's per game at a 41% clip. He made as many 3's last season as he did in his first 6 seasons combined and was literally hitting them at the same clip as Steph Curry. I would guess that last season was somewhat of an outlier more so than he is now a Steph Curry level shooter. I think the Knicks lack of a PG pre-Rose also inflated his assist #'s as well and he won't have the ball in his hands as much with Kemba/Rose and as Barrett improves. Doubt that anyone will look back at this deal and say "wow the Knicks got a bargain signing Julius for $30M/yr." Dude was straight dog water in the playoffs and even if they somehow clear cap space any player they're recruiting will have to want to play with Julius Randle. Not sure many superstars around the league are dying to team up with him, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
