I think any team that traded for him would have faced the same restrictions we will if trying to re-sign him next season. Any capologists out there want to verify?

So we got 2 2nd round picks and Alexey Shved (expiring contract) for Pablo. Is that right? No bad, man. I didn't think we could even get 1 2nd round pick for him, let alone 2. + an intriguing expiring young player who probably won't be coming back next year but let's see. Not bad at all. How can you knock this deal?

Exactly....I think he will be solid in the triangle. Plus he will get lots of playing time without Melo's ISO ball.

It's like we just called up a 6'7 D league player for a short term contract, while getting two 2nd round picks on top as a gift.

Shved for Pablo str8 up would've been a good trade. Add two 2nd round picks, and thats icing on the cake.

Any trade that doesn't rape the knicks, is a solid trade in my book. Beggers can't be choosers.

yea... sigh of relief here. For once we didnt do anything totally retarded.

Getting a good look at Sved has no downside. Im sure we will release his bird rights but who knows... maybe he does well and plays in the system. Maybe he just loves NY and gets comfortable here.

He is not as terrible as some think, although he's never shown consistent quality on the floor. Not sure about how he will do in the Triangle or whether he can play D, but he actually does have some intriguing skill as a passer, and has had some moments in his career where he looked like a decent NBA player. He does not shoot well from distance, but can shoot from midrange, so he might fit in better with our offense. I see him as more of a PG, but he does have the size to play at SG.

Maybe consistent minutes will let us see what he might be able to do.

Watching Lance Thomas with the Knicks makes you think about what it takes for guys to get into a comfort zone where they know their role and make the best use of their capabilities.

At least we have another player to evaluate.

I like him - I hope we give him a chance.

If he makes some big shots and some great passes tomorrow you should copyright it ASAP.

I remember watching him play in the 2012 Olympics and he kept Russia in quite a few games with his pull up J. He's just too streaky from out there. His three has been pretty inconsistent too. He's a good passer tho.

This might be just what the kid needs. This system might give him a chance to use his strengths more and hide his weaknesses.

Maybe we can coach him up and get his confidence back cuz he has had some real flashes in his career and needs to gain consistency. This might be a good situation for him to do that.

I agree with you that this is the place where he can prove and gain consistency, but that is up to him. If the coaches are having a hard time with telling THJR not to take so many 3s or larkin not being afriad to finsih then I highly doubt we could coach the dudes confidence.
