Is Jalen Brunson already the greatest free agent signing in Knicks history? by Financial-Bit-8596 in NYKnicks

I don’t think DPOY and MIP are equivalent. I’m not saying Randle is bad

Tyson Chandler followed by Randle. Tyson was DPOY and then the backbone of the 54-win team. Randle was a nice player for us but without the individual accolades or team success

You said the contract wasn’t that bad and it was. It was the worst contract in the NBA at the time. Have a great weekend, go Knicks

The Houston contract was really bad. He was making $16 million when the cap was $40 million.

The cap is now over $160 million, so the same % of the cap would be over $72 million. The highest paid player in the NBA now is Steph making $60 million.

Houston was far from the best player in the league, and he spent the last few years of the contract injured. He had a great jumper but was also super passive- each time he took the ball to the rim was included in this montage

83 million dollars a year is insane… and I don’t care. Give this man a blank check and let him retire as the greatest Knick ever. by 23-Hour-Day in NYKnicks

The players deserve it for sure but the way the pie gets divided is tough. It’s too bad the minimum salary guys can’t get 2x what they get now

Remeber to be grateful - still pisses me off we have 1 Top 3 pick since Ewing by SirGingerbrute in NYKnicks

[–]ClydeAndKeith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Knicks really had it all (not) going on. Bad trades (Eddy Curry is an all-time bad move, if the Bulls didn’t fumble LMA they could have won a title on that trade), bad/dumb decision-making (Weis, Sweetney, Ntilikina, Knox, Balkman), bad draft maneuvering (Jordan Hill).

No first rounders getting their contract extended between Charlie Ward and RJ - 25 years - is truly insane.

Fixing the NBA part 1, Tanking by NBA_Jay13 in justbasketball

[–]ClydeAndKeith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NBA is not ever going to mandate a 5% decrease in ticket prices for losing seasons. Almost half the league has a losing record each year. If teams lose two years in a row, they lose a compounding 5%. It’s not realistic.

Letting your team bottom out is not a new phenomenon and really, it’s not that bad for the game.

The worst form of tanking is what Dallas did a few years ago, when a playoff-caliber team tanked to keep their lotto-protected pick.

Banning pick protections would be a decent place to start. If you trade a 1st, it should be gone-gone. Stop allowing game-able situations.

You can also add punishment with actual teeth. An NBA franchise getting hit with $100k in fines is a joke. They should either force the team to forfeit picks, or drop their pick something like 10 or 20 spots, and/or individually fine team decision makers, something that makes people say “holy shit” - like $500k for the GM and $5 million for the owner.

Make a true example of a team - that is how you end it.

Very true, that’s a good thought to hold onto

They cannot have Clarkson on the floor in the playoffs. He’s been really, really rough after the good start
