Yes, this. Back the Brinks truck up to MSG if you think it will help of course, but Zinger is going nowhere.Why exactly are the Knicks giving up Porzingis again? Phil has 1 year left. Last time I checked, the zinger is pretty young and it's safe to say he'll play past 1 more year
I would think plenty of teams would be willing to gut their team for someone like PorzingisWho has more to offer than Jaylen and one of Fultz/Ball/Jackson/Tatum without gutting their team?
Which would include Ainge. The list of teams that could outbid the Celtics is a very small one.I would think plenty of teams would be willing to gut their team for someone like Porzingis
Agreed. Which is why I said he could get more than your proposed Jaylen + 2017 BRKWhich would include Ainge. The list of teams that could outbid the Celtics is a very small one.
Oh that would be great. What would've been a palatable way to get rid of Melo, given his NTC?Word on the street is that Jackson gave a him or me ultimatum wrt Carmelo yesterday. Hence timing.
I don't blame him, but if you were Masai would you go near this mess? I guess you never know what motivates someone but this feels like a no-win for an exec so long as Dolan is therePer Woj, Dolan is targeting Ujiri.
I guess it depends what his alternatives are. Dolan is obviously the fedora-wearing elephant in the room, but other than Noah, their aren't too many bad contracts on the roster. Dolan plus the microscope of NYC may be enough to put him off, but the on-court situation isn't as bad as it might seem.I don't blame him, but if you were Masai would you go near this mess?

ESPN reporting that Jackson wanted the Knicks to buy out the last two years of his contract, for which he is guaranteed $54 million.Oh that would be great. What would've been a palatable way to get rid of Melo, given his NTC?
It technically wouldn't have been cross-posting if you had said The Jackson Five.And apologies for cross-posting, but I gotta say, I'm surprised and disappointed that JD & the Straight Shot hasn't been mentioned in the Most Important American Band thread.
That makes him a better man than you...Spoken by someone who clearly hasn't paid much attention to the Dolan regime.
He'll never leave Kentucky - he's just angling for more money or a contract extension like every CBK offseason when these stories leak out.Whoa....why wouldn't the Knicks do this?
"Kentucky head coach John Calipari reached out to knicks through intermediaries to express interest in the Knicks presidency, per ESPN league sources. The Knicks do not have interest in Calipari at the moment, per league sources. Presumably, Calipari would want to coach as well if he took over as president. The Knicks parted ways with president Phil Jackson earlier this week. Current GM Steve Mills is handling the club's day-to-day operations and is expected to lead them through free agency."

I think Kentucky should be willing to call his bluff on this one.He'll never leave Kentucky - he's just angling for more money or a contract extension like every CBK offseason when these stories leak out.
Amazing. The Knicks have ONE playoff series win since 2000. They might be the worst professional sports team of the new millennium. Even the Jets have had a decent amount of playoff success since 2000.The Calipari hire would be epic.
I just realized this thread was started in July 2010 by Rocco Graziosa. Wow!
The Browns.Amazing. The Knicks have ONE playoff series win since 2000. They might be the worst professional sports team of the new millennium. Even the Jets have had a decent amount of playoff success since 2000.
The Lions, too.The Browns.
The one-and-done was the staple of Cal's recruiting success and that is going to be taken away in the very near future. Cal in NY with the love that those former UK kids have for him could make things very interesting.Last night when I saw that Cal wanted the Knicks prez job, I had two thoughts.
Cal was getting tired of schmoozing kids and he wanted a nice paycheck to be a dealmaker in mid-town
and
the NCAA was about to drop the hammer on Kentucky.
Yeah, guys like Calipari always leave before the hammer arrives. He knows his business model might be taking a massive hit soon. He also may be bored and want something new.The one-and-done was the staple of Cal's recruiting success and that is going to be taken away in the very near future.
