Thanks ED and Cue, appreciate it..
I agree with the list, especially with Briggs, and I do learn from othere's here too, even though if I don't always agree with EVERYONES thought's/opinions
When I first joined the forum, there were many here that freely posted their thoughts from the 2000 run and the HELL after, but the past couple years, there has been many "trolls" with different opinions that divided most posters here
Sometimes it is hard to express my thoughts here, many bashers here that enjoy harshly attacking other's thoughts and opinions behind computers
I wasn't sure if anyone here even enjoyed some of my posts or not with some of the negativity
I was never PRO Dantoni *actually I thought he was horrible here but never had the pieces needed either but never utilized what he had with his stubborness like Woodson*/Walsh/Lin or Anti Melo
I am looking in the best interest of the Knicks and credited/bashed those who deserved it
I like Webster, but I think any team that gives him a full mid- level is making a mistake. Throughout his career, he's been a solid reserve. He's having a solid year on a bad team, but he's playing for a contract. If Webster had two seasons similar seasons like this earlier in his career, I'd be less hesitant to do a full mid-level. But I have to look at the full picture and say this season is the exception, not the norm. That said, I'd have no problem bringing him in at $2.5 million.

We'll be a Tax Paying team and we'll be well above the Lux Tax apron....the max we can offer him is The Tax Payer MLE
Maximum 3yrs with 4.5% raises starting at an estimated $3.183mil
After reviewing the exception clauses again on Coon's site we are so screwed in trying to improve this team going forward. Even more so than I thought we were. All we can use this off-season is the....
Tax Payer Exception(estimated $3.183 can be split across multiple players)
&
Minimum Player Exception(estimated by yrs in the league using a 5-10yr experience average that's a starting salary as low as $1,027,424 and high as $1,399,507). Max 2yr deal and the next year salary is whatever the minimum is for that yr. Can be used unlimited as long as roster spots are open
