http://www.csnbayarea.com/06/28/11/..._steinmetz_v3.html?blockID=537957&feedID=5986 I'm hoping he opts out because it would give us 2+ mil extra to play with in the offseason. He had a pretty mediocre year. Still nice depth to have around and a good rebounder. I'm sure Mark Jackson would be more comfortable having him around.
Re: Amundson will make decision about 2011-12 contract option this week he is a pretty decent player, as long as he isnt getting overpaid
Re: Amundson will make decision about 2011-12 contract option this week The guy wasn't very good. He tried to make up for it with hustle and effort, but he was pretty forgettable. I think we would have been better served if we developed the 2nd round big men we drafted. I guess we were hoping he'd have a stellar year like Kris Humphries and we wouldn't use those rookies?
Re: Amundson will make decision about 2011-12 contract option this week I saw Ronny Turiaf opted in. I'd like for the Knicks to buy him out and move in and pick him up for the vet min. He'd be a solid backup again.
Re: Amundson will make decision about 2011-12 contract option this week Brandan Wright may be available again as well.
Re: Amundson will make decision about 2011-12 contract option this week Why would the Knicks dump Turiaf? He's their only big man outside of Amare. No thanks on B. Wright. I've seen zero improvement in any aspect of his game since his rookie year. You'd think by now he would have improved something- jumpshot, post scoring, rebounding, defense, etc. Nazr Mohammed just re-signed with OKC so he's off the market. Unless we get very lucky with the cap I think you can rule us out of the Nene, Chandler, M. Gasol, Oden sweepstakes. Outside chance at Yao (risky) or Dalembert. After that you've got Kwame Brown, Joel Przybilla, Kurt Thomas, Chuck Hayes, etc.
Re: Amundson will make decision about 2011-12 contract option this week Assuming they go after and get a big name 5, they may not want to pay him. There's an assumption that they'll get someone that we'd like to get
Re: Amundson will make decision about 2011-12 contract option this week might have just been against the blazers, but he seemed to do well, always getting rebounds and loose balls, and opportune lay ins
