Was this mentioned today? G. Dragic want to become a free agent this summer. Miami has the advantage but he didnt look to impressed there. would absolutely love to see him on this knicks.

i love the way he plays- not sure our system is a fit, but would love him here too depending on our draft - we need help in the back court in the worst way. Would love to swipe him from miami, especially after they paid a premium to get him.

I heard something on cbs radio and then they teased a trade that a team might regret but the trade was the KG trade for minny. I was thinking it was Dragic because of the two picks given up.

2 first round picks and a 5 year contract- terrible deal that bizarrely got universally praised at the time, but will get panned in a year or two (much like the Paul Pierce and KG to Nets deal)

horrible move by miami if they dont keep him.

I feel embarrassed for Dragic for this move. He should stay with Phoenix but that's too idealistic.

For the Knicks, I rather look for something else as I sense that he would become Udrich after he comes here.

Tough one, SHved and Dragic are quite alike. As much as I would be enarmored with the idea of him coming here, do we really need to throw money at him?
Vmart @ 4/18/2015 9:25 AM
I'm going to wait and see. I don't think Riley will allow another free agent to leave he will over pay for Dragic.
StarksEwing1 @ 4/18/2015 9:34 AM
I dont think he is worth a max deal to be honest. A lot also depends on who we draft.

I just want a PG that can create, finish around the rim, knock down a open 3, and is smart.
fishmike @ 4/18/2015 11:46 AM
He's really good. Im not sure its where I want to throw my money. $15mm is a lot but he's very skilled, very heady player

I would emphasize on defense for the PG position. After Felton and Calderon, I don't want to see career nights from the opponent PG anymore.

He will absolutely max him out- look at Riley's track record.

mreinman @ 4/18/2015 10:53 PM
he may be the perfect player (offensively) for melo.
yellowboy90 @ 4/18/2015 11:58 PM
He is likely to get $20m+. So pass.

Sounds like Patrick Beverly would be your choice. i want to see a defensive PG and defensive Center. Thats a true culture change for us. Starks and Ewing

I want every player added to this roster to be a good defender- THATS true culture change
