We are about a month or so away from games and the league announced the 19-20 cap/tax threshholds (109m/132m).
My Knicks are going to be pathetic so here we go:
#PatheticForReddish
#CryinForZion
#TarotForBarrett
Knicks stated that they will give KP as much time as he needs and will not rush him back. Thank goodness. Make sure that knee is better then before and stability is there. I think Fiz will finally use him as a 5 which is good since his rim defense was top 5 pre injury.
Frank Ntilikina added 10-15lbs and grew 1.5 inches. Hes got to be around 6'8". I like having him as a PG. Hes a beast on D which is good since the rest of the team isnt.
Maybe most importantly...nothing stupid please...keep the draft pick. :pray:

Asked by about past Knicks mistakes that the organization will avoid in the future, president Steve Mills says, “We’re not going to trade any of our (1st round) draft picks.” Mills adds that they aren’t going to trade assets for a player that they can sign in free agency.

Pat Riley says Dion Waiters will not be ready for the start of the regular season.

Jimmy Butler requests a trade, and supposedly has 3 teams on his list. Reports are Miami is one of them, which makes a ton of sense. The guy was born to be a part of Heat culture, and Wade is there. My guess would be NY and LA for the other two teams. I think Pat has to go and make this happen, though. Miami has the chips as Thibs probably won't want the bulk to be future assets.
-
Clippers have cap space, and Butler would be the main guy there.

From Ethan Skolnick, one of the most plugged in media members to the Miami Heat organization there is:

They could also simply shuffle off TH JR to say Sacremento (they have cap space, a need at the 2, and need a scorer) for say Willie Cauley Stein, expirings and a future right to swap 1s (or something to that effect) and deal that with Lee for Butler... Obviously spitballing ideas but i think its in play. -

The other interesting thing at play here is some of Miami's "untradable" players could actually be of interest to Minnesota here. Thibs won't be looking to add draft picks and players that won't help immediately as the main pieces. His seat is heating up, and he'll be looking to add talent now. And Minnesota isn't exactly a big FA draw either, so conserving cap space may not be a priority. Because of that, they may have some interest in guys like James Johnson, Tyler Johnson, Dion Waiters, or maybe even Hassan (although probably not) around a package that would certainly have to include Josh Richardson. Kelly Olynyck is another guy that might be appealing, although as a Heat fan, I'm not sure how much I want to move him.
Something like Richardson, Olynyck, and a 1st might realistically be the best package they can get, and you'd think Miami would be willing to take a chance with that package as much as they love those two players. But if they could swing something involving one of those previous names instead of Olynyck, and avoid trading Bam, that would be a really great deal for Miami.

Not exactly Woj (or anything close, lol) when it comes to reliability, but these guys do have some sources. They talked quite a bit about Miami's interest in Duncan Robinson before the draft. They were the only ones I heard tying Miami to him.
-
I told you at the beginning of free agency (when everyone still was thinking LeBron was the Rockets' target) that Jimmy Butler was Morey's actual #1 target. Our sources were reporting this rift waaayy before the national media.
Nothing has changed. Just know that Butler was in Italy (last month) and the Bahamas (last week) when the Rockets were there. I'm just saying...Boik14 likes this. -
Enes Kanter has pretty good chemistry with Harden....

Minnesota just signed KAT to a 5 year extension and have placed Jimmy Butler on the trading block.

Fat Wade is fat again.. oh well, i am guessing he will be seeing 20 mpg.
-
He'll be fine after training camp
-
-
I also don’t think Dion Waiters will ever play for the Heat again.
-
Waiters looks like a fat slob in recent team pictures.

Am I the only heat fan not excited about Jimmy Butler? He's 29, going to cost a lot in the future, and the main selling point on acquiring him is not his actual skill set, but that other players may follow.

There's also the whole Gabrielle Union picture thing.

James Ennis looks good at training camp so far. He is pushing Melo and Eric Gordon for that final starting forward spot.
Props to Mama Ennis for making him come to Houston for less money, lol (that's what he said at media day). -
And the Gabby Union thing was a joke. Wade and Butler were seen singing karaoke together a few weeks ago.#1 fan and biggiesmalls3k1 like this. -
Brian Windhorst says the Heat are offering Dragic but the Wolves want Richardson. He also said Spo loves Butler and he really wants the trade to go through.
