So as you can tell, its a lot easier for teams to sign their own free agents. teams can give their own players at 10.5% raise and a six year contract.

under the N.B.A.’s collective bargaining agreement, a player who stays with his team can sign a six-year contract with 10.5 percent raises. If he leaves, he is limited to five years and 8 percent raises. The Knicks can only offer Lebron a deal with an 8 percent raise. So they might not get Lebron, Bosh, wade or anyone else. But the Knicks can give Lee, Sergio and McGrady an 10.5% raise as opposed to the 8% raise that other teams can give them

I’ll take Danilo Gallinari over Channing Frye 100 times out of 100.

lee, sergio and t-mac, you say? none are the top priority, but are merely after thoughts in the light of the people available this summer.

isiah thomas got what he deserved, banishment from the nba.

good riddance.

balkman isn’t a basketball player, neither is mardy collins. put that in your
“isiah thomas is the world’s greatest draft talent evaluator” and smoke it.

He also took Nate ahead of Ellis. what a rocket scientist this guy is. you are blind.

You can be an NBA hall-of-famer and still not be qualified to run the Knicks with all that erroneous arrogance from a bygone era.

By the way, Joe Dumars has always done a wonderful job in Detroit. They really made the right decision there.

deep in my heart, I truly despise Isiah Thomas for what he did to the Knicks. I did not hate him not even a little bit until he became holy roman emperor of the new york knicks. I don’t care about players unless they’re on the Knicks. When Isiah was a piston, I could care less about him either way.

“Again, you haven’t won here since 73. 19-73 that is.” Way to talk to your employer (the knicks fans) Isiah. Whay to sh*t all over the legacy of Patrick Ewing, John Starks and Charles Oakley too. You either belong in Detroit, or Indiana, or not at all in the NBA. You sure don’t belong in New York, even Dolan figured that out after 4 years of being stubborn to a fault.

My only regret is that I didn’t clock Isiah with a shoe the way George W. was treated during that press conference.

We didn’t give up Jack Squat for Duhon.

Signing the coach? This is a transitional period. Isiah got HIS GUYS for four years. Walsh hasn’t had HIS GUYS for two years and you’re already being an irrational knick fanatic.

I hate talking about this. I hate Isiah and I’m glad he is gone. You should move down to FIU and quit pretending to be a Knick fan and just follow Isiah around like a lost puppy. or a sick puppy.
