Joakim Noah reported to the Knicks and poo, 18 mill per season.

Yeah, this offseason is shaping up to be a shitstorm thus far.

Noah was the big I really wanted and felt best fit here.  Now, the other "top tier" bigs left are down to Dwight and Whiteside, both of whom will command more money than Noah, and considering their respective histories, both would be horribly risky to invest that much money into.

I think ultimately, we may be left standing at the altar when it comes to Batum and any potentially significant FA signings.

Gotta adjust thinking when it comes to numbers though, since the cap has skyrocketed

Gonna catch some hell but if we could get Howard and Batum, that would be a haul

Agreed, except the last I heard, Howard was looking for 30M per.

Were about to give 15 million to freakin Marvin Williams.......................................................

And my wallet closes for them for a while if they do that. Remember the 1st year of Williams' contract? When he didn't care and played like crap only to wake up in a contract year? sigh :+(

Hopefully the Whiteside/MJ connections pay off.  18 million for Noah? Yikes. I get that A LOT of stupid money will be spent, but Noah is going from making 12 million in his prime (where he was a borderline All-Star at best), to being an old, injury prone, non offensive threat making 18 a year...

 

Lol.

Im ok with resigning Marvin but only like a million dollar raise. I dont care about his cap percentage or any of that crap he is worth about where hes getting payed now at 7 million not much more than that.

It sucks feeling helpless in free agency down here in Charlotte. 

But nothing can feel worse than the way Knicks fans have to feel all the time , top market and still cant sign anyone. If Melo wanted to play with Drose and Noah he should of left a couple years ago to Chicago and he would have had a chance not bring in all these guys years later to NY

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
