Yooo Leon we definitely shouldn’t be using any illegal hand shakes to get I-Hart back on the team

I thought a 1+1 with player option would be impossible anyway. That it needed to be a 2+1

NBA contracts have to be the most convoluted out of all the major sports leagues. I swear I learn something new every time I’m on this sub, and I’m on this sub plenty.

I know I’m in the vast minority here but I would not resign Hartenstein because I feel like we can recreate him with cheaper options. I feel like a lot of people forget how good Mitchell was prior to the injury and I feel like 2 cheaper FA options like Drummond, Smith, or Achuiwa are a better use of our money because inevitablity there will be injuries and I want to make sure Taj Gibson doesn’t find his way back on this roster.

BS no one wanted him until he came to NY. We should be able to keep our own players

I know according to the rules we can only do a 2+1 but if we could do a 1+1 that is a huge ask of a player.
Take 16.5 million, turn down those 80-100 million dollar deals and we’ll take care of you
Unless you have a bad year or get injured

sorry but Ihart isn’t good enough for all this. If 72m isn’t enough for him to stay and he wants to go to his 6th team in 6 years so be it.

Honestly I have no idea why Dolan doesnt literally just give him a few million dollars in duffel bags that no one will know about

No reason Mrs. Harstenstein can’t have a modeling contract in NYC worth 20 million a year for 3 years.

not sure the knicks would be comfortable paying Ihart much more than the max they can give anyways. in some ways it’s a benefit to be like “sorry this is all we can give”. maybe knicks would be ok going a little higher to like 4/20 – but the idea we would give him like 25 or something is crazy.

One thing I’ve thought about is whether all players care about the money.
If I ever start to next Instagram and have the chance to sell it and net $50m I’m doing that retiring on a beach. I don’t feel the need to hold on and try to make hundreds of millions over the course of a decade.
Maybe he’s like me. He could make $72m over 5 years or something like that. With endorsements and bring in NYC, he could become a $100m net worth (let’s assume net worth of $50m after taxes and fees). Plus he’ll make whatever his next contract is (presumably lower). Some dudes might be okay with just being filthy skinking rich and calling some place “home”. Being a franchise legend. Still make obscene amounts of money.

Just a thought.
