Proponent of the Yankees spending money, the Knicks finding a point guard (DONE!) and the Giants fielding a respectable offensive line (close!). Go Rangers too!

@sny_knicks @IanBegley Dolan being Dolan again; could see the mask falling off along the road to the championship with the Trump stunt, the watch party cancellations, the Carton interviews and Mandami spat. If Brock/Leon think its best strategically, fine, but if its spending austerity, what use is JD?

@KnickFilmSkool @TheCohencidence Ugh very hard to hear that Mitch likely the odd man out, but @TheCohencidence per usual made excellent points as to how to bring the rest of the band back together otherwise while maintaining longer term flexibility with this core.

@theslim3 but also they wouldn’t have used it on him unless a team offered that to him and they had to match doesn’t make sense to use the TMLE on him and not another free agent if they’re letting Shamet/Mitch go

This doesn’t impact the idea of the Knicks going over the second apron or not If they were getting Diawara back on basically league minimum for multiple seasons, they were doing it regardless
KnicksFeed & the Big Steppers@knickzfeed

Now idgaf about the draft, we got our guy back Had slight concern given how up in the air the past week has been since Dolan made comments, but got Diawara on such a bargain deal with long-term team control Can’t wait to see his potential

@IanBegley Great news! Any more word about the second apron yet Ian? I know you’ve said you think Dolan may have mistaken 2nd apron penalties across 3 of 5 years; figure we’ll get clarification as we get going w Mo and Jose moving back his option

Mohamed Diawara was certainly going to get significant interest from other teams as a restricted free agent, per league sources. Knicks and Diawara are working on eight figure deal to bring the rookie back to NY. Not done, but all signs pointing to it getting done, sources confirm. Diawara felt welcomed by NY from Day One and was very comfortable with his teammates. So even if another big offer came, NY had an edge. ESPN first reported Diawara deal.

@SamQuinnCBS To your point - this front office is clever enough to go back under the second apron and revive that flexibility if they see areas for improvement IMO. If they stay under for this free agency, I don’t see a way the team can be more talented heading into next season w/o retention

Personally I’d go into the second apron and run it back for two years. I understand the logic of not doing so, though, even if I disagree with it. This front office has such a strong track record that the flexibility it would deprive them of could potentially be significant.

Knicks situation not as simple as "run it back" +Mitchell Robinson was minus-36 in the Finals. +Vegas has Knicks as fourth in line to next year's title. +The second apron makes team improvement almost impossible.

@TrueHoop Okay - what’s your alternative? Easy to point to issues, harder to provide solutions.

@muhfuknfunnyguy @BeckyHammon @joshhart It’s interesting - she’s a coach (and a terrific HOF player). I’m sure accountability matters for her with her players and her program. Feel as though this is a moment for her to lead by admitting fault. Too many leaders don’t have humility.

@StevePopper Can also consider that Dolan was confused by what Leon and Brock was explaining to him about the second apron because he’s a buffoon

If the Knicks could keep *redacted,* *redacted,* and *redacted* while still staying under the 2nd Apron by letting *redacted* walk & trying to replace his skillset in the draft, I'm starting to wonder if they should do it I prefer to keep everybody though.

Clearly! It was obvious given how he refused to sacrifice shots and stats for the betterment of the team in their run to a title… And he’s been moping around this week, being forced to carry that heavy Larry O’Brien trophy everywhere! All the signs of an unhappy player!

The Knicks not extending Karl-Anthony Towns at the beginning of the season has stuck with him and he has not gotten over it, per @VinceGoodwill (Via @GetUpESPN)
