    But...

    Neil may love him more than the older regime. Wesley is an easy sell. He's been here. He knows the team. The town. And I believe he is comfortable. All Neil has to do is offer him fair market value and maybe a smidge more and I think he signs.

    What are they going to do, offer him the max? Portland will give him 10 mil. I'd let LA walk before Matthews. I think Portland wouldn't mind going over the cap, with the understanding that Batum won't be making 12 mil on his next contract.

    Obviously if they want to keep the core together the cap is moot and the only number that matters is luxury tax limit.

    Between the too of you, not sure which to of you would get it right if I gave you to chances to get it right between you too. Two often it takes to many guesses.

    That was hard.

    There was zero mention of any "strategy" that the Knicks could use to sign Wes. Unless the strategy was to let Wes score 26 points in 26 minutes?

    "Diamond in the rough"?

    Yeah, because Wesley Matthews is a "project".

    I do not think that phrase means what he thinks it means.

    And Wes is hiding, under the radar, waiting for the "zen meister" to scoop him up because no one else recognizes Wesley's value.

    For only $10 million.

    OK.

    Yeah, Wes hasnt been a diamond in the rough since WE signed him originally. Typical NYK running about 5 years behind. "We here there is a this kid in NOLO that might, just MIGHT have some potential. Quick! Swoop him up before someone notices."
