Knicks · Win now or salary dump? (page 1)

Voted other.

To me its "all of the above"

MSG is like a "Sub Prime" crisis in waiting.

One day there will be a price to pay. I hope Bargnani has a great "comeback" and becomes the next "Dirk"!

Both.

Personally, I think it's a salary dump more than anything else. We clearly aren't good enough to compete for a title and we're only going to get worse the next couple of seasons so Grunwald is planning to rebuild in 2015. My problem is that we just had to pay a premium to get rid of Novak's contract that we signed him to last season and I doubt we'll be doing everything we can to rebuild. If we're actually planning this then we should be looking to trade everyone on the roster to get picks back but Dolan won't allow that.

Both. Its actually the best way to go about it. Every major contract expires at the same time. For those who have argued no hope and no light at the end of the tunnel, it is clearly there in 2 years. 2 years of steady improvements with the goal of a championship, then a remodeling project.

We'll have room for two max type contracts.

one of them could be Melo.

Its both, if it was purely salary dump then they could have just packaged Novak alone with a first or all the picks they gave up and gotten a scrub player who's contract ended after next season saving them 8mil. They went after Bargs because of contract and potential. The hope is to probably rebuild his value, Make the game easier for the core thus keeping our ability to make playoffs. Then maybe sell him at greater value then we bought him for down the road.

It can't be both - We are the 5th best team is the weakest conference, this isn't done with winning a championship in mind. Barring injuries like last year to Rondo, Rose and Granger we will probably win 42 games. Not sure how we are going to defend anybody at this time.

They win 45-48

We will see, I think some other teams got a lot better too especially the Cavs.
