    The MLE would've been overpaying.

    The Knicks are gonna Knick.

    Sigh. There goes a draft pick. In hindsight, the Afflalo trade turned out terrible. But if our team didn't get injured down the stretch, maybe that trade would've looked ingenious.

    Afflalo took a pay cut to leave the Blazers. For 2011-16 he had a 5-year $43 million contract. Last season he made $7,937,500, then declined the 5th year. Now he signs for 2-years, $16 million. That's less than he would have made next year.

    Am I missing something?

    So he opted out of his final year with a good team to go play for the Knicks for 1 year (Player option after the 1st season) for the same money? Wow!

    If by opted out you mean he was told "gtfo or get traded" then yes.

    I think he expected a better market. And he couldn't find shit. Don't think we wanted him back, tbh

    Not the same, less. He would have made a little more than $8M here in 2015-16. Now he will make a little less than $8M.

    Sounds like Rolo will be a Knick

    If we're going to lose all our players and get nothing, why didn't Olshey trade them a year ago and get something?

    4 years 44 million from the Pacers to sign Monta.

    And the list keeps dwindling....

    I do find it interesting though that none of our big free agents are gone yet.

    I still like Stuckey, if Monta goes to Indy Stuckey may not be coming back and a lot of money has been spent, maybe wait a bit more and try to get him fairly cheap

    I meant the starters, obvious.

    Afflalo is trash and should be treated as such.

    So your saying theres a chance?

    What would you think if we resigned LMA and Wes both to max deals and Rolo to nearly the same. At this point I think I would be very happy with it.

    Unfortunately I think Sacramento pays Wes what he wants and New York grabs Rolo. I would be all for it but that's just a dream now which is funny to think
