according to JR, he will pick up his option at the end of the year. Of course he could just talking to play nice.

It's so nice to finally have a bench with some excellent weapons..I remember that being our biggest concern coming into the season..and now we have IMO the deepest bench in the league..we are a dangerous team

Yeah, I really don't expect JR to pick up his option. Someone's gonna be willing to pay him.

Melo and STAT NEED to restructure their contracts, for the sake of the team. I also can't handle how they both make more than Lebron but contribute significantly less.

True, which shows his commitment to making a better team and making a better run at a championship. If Melo and STAT restructured their contracts from $18 mil to $14-$15 mil Knicks could be looking at $6-8 million more flexibility in salary cap, which would be fantastic.

If Melo just restructures and adds 1 more year to his deal he would make $15 mill for four more seasons instead of $20 for 3. That'll give us around 12-13 mill free in the off season including the LLE. Lin is locking up the MLE for 3 or 4 years depending on how many years another team offers him so we don't have to worry about him . Give Novak the LLE for two years , jeffries a 2 year 8 mill deal , Baron will probably come back for the minimum because he's still getting 14 mill from Cleveland , and then give JR a 3 year deal for like 18 mill. Knowing that we picked up Douglas' option REALLY pisses me off .

If the management thinks Lin is a product of the system i could see us keeping him.
dolan has done some crazy $++% before. dont forget who we dealing with.
dantoni could get us to the second round and that might be enough for management.

taking less money to sign other players is taking less money, no matter what way you cut it...

Our whole bench is playing out of themselves out of NY. Only people I can see staying is Davis (only if DAntoni stays) and Jefferies.
JR Smith = still young in his prime (about 26-27 y.o), Still looking to cash in a payday. Any team that needs a 2G will give him the full MLE after this season.
Novak = young journey man, 28, bounced from team to team. Given the opportunity he can produce, given the Green light to shoot when open. He needs that secure paycheck. could pull a Shawne
Davis = only came to NYK because of DAntoni's offense and to play along Amare, Chandler, and Melo. Didnt want to go to Miami or LAL. Will he take another $1.4M contract?
Jefferies = DAntonis favorite player pre and post Donnie. Only coach that will give him burn thats why he came back.

Al Iannazzone Tyson Chandler challenged his teammates at halftime, asking them what kind of team do they want to be. "A lot of times teams can get lured into thinking we can turn it on, we can turn it on for the playoffs, we'll find our rhythm," Chandler said. "No, you've got to make your rhythm. You've got to make teams miss. I just let my teammates know if we really want to be true contenders, on nights like this we have to show it. Nothing is going to come easy."
Tyson is overrated and overpaid.

tax don't matter?
The only less money Bron took was not coming to New York and ever thinking up The Decision/pep rally.

Tyson is exactly what this team needs to give everyone that kick in the !%% when they arent playing how they supposed to. Hes got the Chip and knows what it takes. Love that signing more and more everyday. Dantoni needs to not run him into the ground tho. He has to let him get healthy. But hes got 3 days off to rest the wrist. Hopefully hes not feeling anymore discomfort come Sunday and hes good to go for the remainder of the season.

Well (1) Bosh didn't take less, all 3 big PFs got overpaid that summer (2) I'd happily take 16 mil instead of 18 mil to be the undisputed frontrunner for the title immediately, have someone else who can close and takeover if I felt I was lacking
and be the most exciting, popular team in the league. (outside of the non-basketball BS that also makes them the most hated...that they put on themselves) (3) If Bron came to New York, instead of the 0% tax he's paying, he'd have to pay 9% tax + 3.7% city tax which is ~$2 million. So outside of all the marketing money he corrupted and his boys were too stupid to understand was stronger in NY, he's making the exact same salary.

on paper, yes. taking less money is taking less money. But if the bigger contract with tax nets out to be the same as the "smaller" contract, than he's not really taking less money.

On the coaching tip, pause, if it's not Zen Master I want to keep MDA.
