Good For Lou. I like having him back. He has the right approach to the game that this team needs to have and fits right in with this Lunchpail group.

2 spots.
1 for the back up G spot and 1 for the 3rd string C spot.
So it looks like Lou and Lance split the 3m extra we had once the cap was announced. I'm cool with that. Now hopefully Shved accepts the 2.8m and we get a good showing from Ledo in SL.

on paper this looks like a better team than last year, 28-34 wins. what time is the summer league game?
At this point no point in fussing that he we overpaid, the damage had been done and there is no other options out there that would come here for that money, makes sense giving the rest to him. My only problem with him is that he really regressed in terms of finishing around the rim this season he went from 65% for last season to 43% when he was with us,and then there is the fact that he is a horrific free throw shooter but meh, not like he will be playing much.

Jerian instead of Larkin. Afflalo instead of JR. RoLo instead of Dalembert. KP instead of Bargs. There's more stability and way more upside.
Will KP start at SF? Then there will be no end to people whining about him not being a good rebounder.

Can't see him as a 3. You also waste his ability as a shot blocker if he is running around chasing 6'8" SFs.
Have to start Anthony out at 3 and see what he has left, IMO. Let KP and KO start the season at PF.
Phew, I'm pleased about this- a good, hardworking vet who hustles, and brings some continuity from last season. I like that all the new guys (apart from D Williams) are hard workers. I was worried he was going elsewhere. I know he isn't the most gifted player, but never underestimate the value of veterans with good attitudes.

Perhaps they alternate roles on the offensive end? His quickness, athletcism, length, and shooting ability is going to make it almost impossible for SFs to guard him.
Yet another SMH signing.
I can't believe they didn't leave a forward spot open for Thanasis or Maurice Ndour. Ndour has some real solid two-way skills (forget this guy now regardless of how he plays) and I took the time to review some video of Thanasis last night--this kid has solid potential despite the mediocre DL numbers, esp. as a standout defender at the 2 & 3 spots. I even like his potential as an offensive player, better than LT's in fact..The Garden would've loved this kid. Kinda bush league if you ask me--they ask Thanasis to stay local and play for their DL team, forgoing a lot of money not going overseas, the kid obliges and now it looks like he's gonna get squeezed out of a spot. Maybe he still makes it as a backup SG but I don't like him there--he's more of a SF.
Whatever man, they got their two end-of-the-bench character guys...now can we concentrate on finishing off the rotation please? Not comfortable at all with the backcourt as is--we're still two guards short. Shved and Ledo would suffice -- that's one legit scoring 2 and a 6'6" versatile guard that can play both spots. Can't for the life of me figure out how these two weren't considered definite bring-backs going into the offseason, esp. Shved. And I think we need one more legit C -- I prefer O'Quinn at the 4 which leaves at least 1 spot open at backup 5. I guess that's where the 7'1" Galdikas comes in. Hope he shows us he belongs in SL and earns himself a spot.

No, I think Hahn or someone said the Knicks went off Monroe when they drafted Porzingis, because they thought they needed more of a defensive ripeness (ha, I tried typing 'presence', but that's what autocorrect came up with!) next to him. That would indicate they see him as a PF.

No way no chance that KP is a 3. The guy is 7-2+
I think the line up as such
C-Lopez Admundson Galdikas
PF Oquinn KP Thomas
SF Carmelo Williams Early or Ndour
SG Affalo Galloway Ledo
SF Calderon Grant Scvheyd

Ndour has already said he's playing overseas next season- he said he'd play on our summer league team because we were okay with that. Thannasis is a SG/Sf who can't shoot. Amundson played more PF and C
