There is no fucking way Knicks offered max to Monroe much less Kanter. The whole FA pitch was not to give a center max, total agentspeak by Falk.
Next report gonna come out that Knick offered max to David West, Rajon Rondo and David Lee.

By Vahagn Go To PostYa, but people complaining about what Kobe said, or discussions of outside basketball activities shows lack of preparation.
If you know you have a bad basketball situation to present, and you're putting all your eggs in the FA basket, you better damn well be completely prepared with the best presentation ever.
How do you properly present a turd?
What can they say? "Kobe will be gone in a year (maybe), Clarkson made the all rookie team.....Russell should be good in a season or 2.......Randle makes an open workout jumpshot like nobody's business!"

Dude. It's sales. Prepare a good presentation, make your shit appear better than it seems. I'm not saying LMA would sign, I'm saying we wouldn't hear reports that him and DAJ were underwhelmed. They knew the team going in, they expected something they didn't get.
I don't wanna hear that they're spending time regurgitating the Melo pitch from a year ago to a guy who couldn't care less about Hollywood. That's just laziness.

"come play for a wifebeating, alcholic coach. work the pnr with the worst ROTY of all time. jabari parker is definitely NOT the black adam morrison (you'll see!), and giannis is one year away from being 3 years away! also, the good side of chicago is right down the street"
By KingGondo Go To PostKnicks supposedly considering offering Kanter a max, which we'll of course match.Painful for whom? The team that gets denied or the one stuck paying a max to Kanter
Just get this shit over with guys. It'll be less painful that way.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postrolo hype is oddWhat his stats alone won't tell you is how much he elevates the game of those around him. Everyone's proficiency and rebounding goes up when he's on the floor.
dude is the definition of an average center
straight up default myplayer on 2k ish

I'm not saying LMA would sign, I'm saying we wouldn't hear reports that him and DAJ were underwhelmed. They knew the team going in, they expected something they didn't get.I don't really disagree, it's concerning that LA is going old school in their FA approach. I just think if they did go all out and try to present LA as someone's best option you might get laughed at.

Jabari was better than Wiggins before he died and MIL still had a decent playoff run for what they were. Plus playing in the east, they could fuck around for half the season and still make the playoffs.
By DominicanPower Go To PostKnicks and Lakers are one in the same.
Lakers are where Knicks should hope to be at the end of the 2017 or 2018 season.

By Grover Cleveland Go To PostJames Anderson to the KingsI actually really like Monta on the Pacers. They should be a top 4 team in the East again next season with PG healthy too.
Monta Ellis to the Pacers
By reilo Go To PostThe worst is him saying that Kanter is worthy of it but Harden wasn't lollll.I never said that.
It's also worth noting that this won't be a true max under the new salary cap. Also, the only way we'll max Kanter is if another desperate team like the Knicks or Kings forces us to. I'd imagine we offered him $15 million or so, which is the equivalent of about $12 million per year under the old cap.
Also, comparing this to the Harden situation is apples and oranges. With hindsight we would have maxed Harden, but Presti miscalculated.
RT @KBergCBS: Ellis' deal with the Pacers is worth an estimated $45 million, source says.
Really? That Danny Green deal is looking highway robbery or under the table shenanigans.

By reilo Go To Post"This won't be a true max". Look at you already spinning.It isn't spinning, it's a fact. This is an incredibly unique situation in all of NBA history. A contract in the $15-16 million range for a guy like Kanter won't look bad in a couple of years.

From what I understand, LMA criticized the statistics he was presented. Not the statistical output of the players, but the quality of analysis. The Laker retort was, "Well if we had better players our stats would be better". There so stuck in the past they can't even understand what the criticism was about.
It could be bullshit I heard on the radio this morning on the way to work, but it seems pretty plausible to me.
David Falk states for record #Knicks offered max to Monroe for any amount of years he wanted. Was all about Bucks readier to make playoffs
Should they even meet with Aldridge?
@Chris_Broussard: Sources: Monta Ellis turned down more $ from Sacramento. Kings offered $48 million
kings so bad that even monta doesn't want a piece... ouch

Good for you, HaveItAll. You were born out of fuckball and now you shall be further molded by it.
lol at turning down mo money
Please let us lose out on Rondo and Wes too. It HAS to happen.
Vlade so desperate he's signing guys on our summer league roster WHO WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN PLAY YET.
good fuck
The only consolation is that the Spurs saw it fitting to take Anderson with the #20 pick in 2010.

Yall can no longer tank tho. You miss out on Rondo...then what?
Considering the difference was about $3-4mil, maybe it would be the same amount of money in Indiana when adjusted for taxes?
By masud Go To PostLet's lock up Rolo Phil! Fuck LA!Lakers FO are clownshoes right now.
Im pretty sure we could trade Kemba to Sacramento for Collison and ALL of their draft picks right now
By knux-future Go To PostYall can no longer tank tho. You miss out on Rondo…then what?i ain't even talking about tanking
i'm talkin burn this muthafucka to the ground
literally, if vlade did nothing but sit on his ass all summer, team would've been in a better position than where we'll be by next week
By DY_nasty Go To Postnaw that's a terrible amount in any year. dude should be lucky to get 10-12 mil and ppl are talking about a max? ughA max now is the equivalent of $12 million under the old cap. Big guys get paid, and they always have. Especially ones who put up 20 and 10 on a regular basis.
I'd much rather have him and overpay than lose him for nothing.
$20 million for getting your soul devoured by Blake Griffin twice in one game brehs
By KingGondo Go To PostA max now is the equivalent of $12 million under the old cap. Big guys get paid, and they always have. Especially ones who put up 20 and 10 on a regular basis.losing him is losing perkins

which is way ahead of where you just were.
kanter's 20-10s are shit lol. come at the expense of everyone else on the court. dude is al jefferson's shittier, douchebag little brother
Ya'll shoulda known that the minute Vlade took WCS to pair with Demarcus that he has no clue what he's doing.
we target him like every off-seasonexcited to see which team we'll strike out to this time
By Vahagn Go To PostYa'll shoulda known that the minute Vlade took WCS to pair with Demarcus that he has no clue what he's doing.to be fair, I believe WCS and DMC can complement each other

+1
By Vahagn Go To PostYa'll shoulda known that the minute Vlade took WCS to pair with Demarcus that he has no clue what he's doing.Or he's a big man who feels threatened by all the talk of small ball and wanted to prove everybody wrong... except even then the Sixers have them beat.
Edit: I would actually prefer if the Kings got Mathews. With all the other FAs coming off the market, Dallas would look a lot less enticing to DJ in theory.
By reilo Go To PostRT @mr_jasonjones: Kings will make Wesley Matthews an offer that will be hard to refuse
we overpaying Wes
and gonna get turned down
Not sure if this is Vlade or Vivek telling Vlade to make panic moves. I guess the backup plans is absorbing Ty Lawson or Eric Bledsoe.

Dongo acting like Kanter isn't gonna be absolute shit when KD takes all his touches and he can't play his role.
He'll have one job and it's the thing he's worst at.

By D'Moris Russell Go To PostDongo acting like Kanter isn't gonna be absolute shit when KD takes all his touches and he can't play his role.Seriously, especially with the way the NBA is going, you can't just dump it into Kanter 15-18 times a game when you got YNB and Durant standing around the perimeter doing nothing.
He'll have one job and it's the thing he's worst at.
Nah, Wes will take the money. He can't afford not to given his injury.
Danny Green friendship contract was some shit he'll be thinking about when he's 40. You were too damn close to being out of the league to be giving discounts, especially when you already got a ring
