Knicks · Milo signs with Clipper for 2 years, 12.3 million... (page 1)

SocraticBallin22 @ 7/6/2017 3:20 PM

Another short, cap friendly contract. We need a vet to mentor Frank. Milo is the top pg in Europe in his prime. He finally wanted to come play in the States. Did we even talk to him? It would have been a perfect situation in NYC to mentor another Euro player on how to be a professional and play the right way.

these guys have agents, im sure his agent is telling him to go to new york which has absolutely nothing to offer outside of kp and possibly billy/frankie , with all the dysfunction being reported all over the media or go to the clips , who kept jordan and all star griffen with better pices fropm the cp3 trade a coach that won a chip and a media that not shit on everything.

12 million to play in LA? for a team that consistently makes the playoffs.....a team that needs a starting PG. A winning fan base and owner with a good track record? How could anybody not understand this signing?
SocraticBallin22 @ 7/6/2017 3:53 PM
If he decided to play elsewhere because of a better situation and an opportunity to play with more talented players and make the playoffs, that's fine.

But I heard no reports that we even reached out to him to give him the option?

Also, good luck getting past the 1st round in the reloaded West on the Clippers.

I dont think learning how to play the right way is an issue for Frank. Adding strength and craft to beat his man off the dribble consistently and finishing around the paint is the bigger areas of development.

I said mills never reached out to him, and that's negative or reality..everyone he reached out to has been reported, there was no report of him reaching out to milos. you tend to try and spin every thing I say into a negative..

Welpee @ 7/6/2017 4:08 PM
At first I thought it was $12.3M per year, but that's the total deal. Not bad, especially if the team has an opt-out after the first year.

Agents know we are not overpaying anybody right now....And I'm sure every discussion is not documented....Mills is loaded with networks....and this is the first time we have been linked to so many people. So let's assume our offer would be the same, it still doesn't get FA to move. We are shopping in the clearance aisle. sometimes u miss out on good deals.....and sometimes agents know we in the clearance section.

honestly, I know little to nothing about this milos guy, someone posted about him yesterday as a good option.

I never heard the knicks having any interest him at all, but then again, people post their wish list on here as if the odds are in the knicks favor.

Point of fact, we don't even know if he's stateside and the Clippers "got a meeting."

But you're avoiding my question. I'm asking how do you know everybody Mills has been in contact with has been reported by the media?

I have probably defended Melo more on this board then you have. I also don't complain about Melo that much other then state the reality that he and Rose played poorly last season.

And those guys are easier to fire than to move Melo. Means little.
