Rookie @ 7/5/2015 2:22 PM
This can't be right. I assume he means 15-16 Meeeellion per.
BigRedDog @ 7/5/2015 2:23 PM
1.5-1.6 million?
nixluva @ 7/5/2015 2:23 PM
NO they're saying the Knicks are talking to Jason PER SOURCES. Not Per season.
mreinman @ 7/5/2015 2:25 PM
for year 2015-2016

LOL
I think you're right but what other season would they be talking about?!
Perhaps he means it's just a one year but the writing is confusing
TPercy @ 7/5/2015 2:42 PM
Why him? I'd rather see Cole Aldrich or Kendrick Perkins than him..
Bonn1997 @ 7/5/2015 2:45 PM
He hit 48% of his shots from 0-3 feet. He might be the only player where a shot right under the rim is a bad shot.

The 2015/16 season......GEESH

Should be better this year, as he was coming off a knee injury…no?

He will seem like a more valuable player if he is a 15MPG player.

I think I like him more than some of you, but he was put in a more prominent role last year- not one he should be in IMO.

putrid putrid shot selection and horribly inefficient. Also does not play defense or rebound.

for some reason phil likes him because of how well he shoots that stupid long mid range shot.

Looked at his shot chart as well. There is not one single shot he can make above a 50% rate than the left elbow.

It seemed as if every shot he took after setting up a pick went into the basket. I remember the guy as a wizard, and when he started making the corner three oh my God.

Cole is more useful though.

the fact that phil likes this guy and approves of his shot selection is to me the most alarming.

the knicks led the league be a wide margin in shots taken between 16 and 23 feet. If they lead the league in that category again, eeeeeeesh

I think Phil is not using any of the analytics. It was probably just a coincidence that Lopez has nice advanced stats.

it does seem that way.

For 15-16 $ per hour?
Sounds about right...

I don't love Jason Smith, but if it's between he and Bargnani, I'd absolutely take Jason Smith.

I think he can accept and do well in a limited role, whereas Bargs cannot - he only does well when he's made the #1 option.

Also - Why would anyone think Jason Smith was getting $15M-16M??? Come on guys!

why do you think that Jason Smith will/can do well in a limited role?

WaltLongmire @ 7/5/2015 3:43 PM


Amundson and Thomas will probably be back. They know the system, are willing to on the bench and play hard when called upon.


Have to wonder if Bargs would suck up his pride and take a vet's minimum if Phil wants him him back.
