NBA rumors and hearsay

[Hurricane Season]

Don't all rookie contracts have team options built in for like 3- 4 years?

What leverage does KP have?

 

[Rios15]

Man I remember when I wanted the Raptors to get Phil as president. smh

Don't all rookie contracts have team options built in for like 3- 4 years?

zero right now

2015-16 (rookie) -- Under Contract
2016-17 (now) -- Under Contract
2017-18 -- Team Option (already exercised)
2018-19 -- Team Option
2019-2020 -- RFA + Qualifying Option

If KP wants out, he can sign the QO in June 2019, play out the year with the team (or be a bitch and hold out but i doubt it comes to that) and then be a UFA in 2020-21

 

[elcheato]

He is not signing the QO

 

[Giantmetfan07]

"As the New York Knicks completed perfunctory season-ending meetings with Phil Jackson, league sources say that some players emerged perplexed over the contents of the conversations – which included game-show questions."
 
WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Giantmetfan07]

If he doesn't sign it then the Knicks will just match whatever he's offered. They'd be fucking stupid not to. 
 
Holy shit, they probably won't match the offer. 

 

[bosoxlover12]

He is not signing the QO

the question was what leverage does he have. if he doesn't want to be with the knicks until 2023 then that's his leverage -- to take the QO. i know its not going to happen

 

[elcheato]

I was explaining to the group, they needed a refresher 

 

[dez]

Melo to Boston?..

 

[CameronCrazy06]

They need a lot. Couldn't hurt

 

[bosoxlover12]

i'd be down

 

[Paulius]

He'd be down for melo but not butler lmaoo this dude is comical

 

[bosoxlover12]

Melo wouldn't cost a Brookyln pick...

 

[Paulius]

You think youd get him for those trash assets yall got and a bag of chips?

Phil would clearly want fultz/lonzo to pair up with zingis

 

[Paulius]

If the celtics cant beat us with our full roster, they dont deserve to be here

 

[CameronCrazy06]

If the celtics cant beat us with our full roster, they dont deserve to be here

The Celtics roster isn't full, they unfortunately had to sacrifice RJ Hunter along the way. Can't forget that.

 

[Paulius]

I said our roster

Im busting his chops tho bc the last regular season game vs the nets , they didnt play their guys and bosox said bulls dont deserve to be in the playoffs if they cant beat a full roster nets

Tables turned, lessons learned

:yao:

 

[bosoxlover12]

melo almost got traded for a package headlined by an expiring JJ Redick. not a chance in the world would Ainge give up the BKN pick

 

[bosoxlover12]

and yeah, if they didn't beat the nets they wouldn't have made the playoffs. lessons learned? it literally proves my point smh

 

[Paulius]

And it proves my point is that if you guys are down 2-0 against our full roster, beating us without our full roster doesnt deserve shit according to your logic
