I doubt that happens, would be sad if it did. He's not a max player but we need him.

he wants a 4yr deal with a player option after the 3rd...pretty much kills your leverage

Honestly...Anger was my initial reaction. Thought it was a reach by Phil.

Preach'n defense then draft'n Porzingis ?

The Big Lativian can shoot but that frame needs an overhaul.

Gotta think he won't be ready 4 awhile.

Like the trade of Hardaway Jr 4 Jerian Grant.

Kid's a stud !

Phil drafts a 3yr project and soon, he'll bring Lin back to NY...all after maxing out Melo...he's trolling you guys hard

Upshaw= Bynum??

true or false?

False. Upshaw is way more gifted defensively. Bynum has a better low post game but weaker knees.

He can get the same thing from the Clips. We offer him the better team. Why leave for a team that's rebuilding without getting more $? Regardless, if he leaves we'll suffer in the immediate future but we can go after Durant, Drummond, etc.
