The Pistons let three players go today: Luka Garza, Frank Jackson and Carsen Edwards. Jackson and Edwards have Utah ties and Garza has the potential to be a stretch 4.

Garza sucks dude isn't an NBA athlete but I've always liked Frank.

Mavs are being dumb here. Pay the man... you can go out to 5 years... they don't have the assets to replace him. At very least offer like $30 a year and push the Knicks to go higher... maybe they give you something decent in a sign and trade.

If they sign him to a $30M a year deal they'd have the second highest payroll in the NBA despite a pretty average roster outside of Luka. Brunson is replaceable and isn't worth anywhere close to a max deal.

I’d rather have Brunson on 30M a year than nothing or at least make the Knicks cough up something of use.

Overpaying average players is how teams screw themselves long term. A S&T could potentially work if the Mavericks want Noel or Burks but if they don't they'll probably off load them elsewhere and have the space to give him $25M APY. If Dallas is impressed because he cooked Conley, they can acquire Reggie Jackson for 1/3 the price.

Dinwiddie was a midseason addition and his numbers were almost identical to Brunson's numbers plus they get THJ back

Apparently Dallas is going to offer him a 5 year extension.

Since it looks like we'll only make minor moves, I hope we go after Kyle Anderson with our MLE. Use him in a Joe Ingles role off the bench.

 

[YoungJefe]

If I could choose 1 guy with the MLE and 1 guy on a min, give me Kyle Anderson and Gary Harris.

I am pretty sure all 29 teams hate the Knicks, lol. Teams think they can get good value on the market for the guys they groomed that won't be hard to trade and then comes Knicks overpaying just to make the 6th seed.

The only FA's they've landed have been guys that they significantly overpaid like Portis, Randle, etc.
