2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

You consider THJ, Dinwiddie, Bertans and Powell 1st tier players? Cause we have committed about $70M to them. I´d be happy, if Bertans and Powell were 3rd tier players. I´d trade literally every single player on the Knicks roster straight up for these two.

I´d argue Julius Randle is a better player than anybody the Mavs have successfully recruited in free agency too, since they won the Championship.

I don´t care if they Knicks screwed up by giving 120M to Brunson, cause all that means he´s not on the Mavs anymore. I would not be a big fan of Brunson on that contract either, but I´m also not a huge fan of Spencer Dinwiddie being our 2nd best player.

I can't help but laugh at your reasoning. The Mavs have overpaid players yes. But you seriously can't think of a major difference between the Mavs and the Knicks? I'll spell it out for you if you can't think of it; L U K A. 

Mavs have found their guy. A legit top 5 MVP candidate every year. Knicks don't have anyone remotely close to that level. Thus the logic of them overpaying 2nd tier players to somehow escape a 23 year long stretch of being in the basement of the league does not make sense.

FURTHER, of the 4 guys you mentioned, only 2 of the guys the Mavs signed. THJ is not overpaid at all. His contract is descending and ranks him at 62nd in the league this year. That's a value. 

The Powell signing was done by the old regime and while it's an overpay, its an expiring contract. Dinwiddie and Bertans ARE overpaid, but weren't the Mavs fault. And while I wasn't a big fan of the KP trade, they both were valued contributors in the playoffs and helped the team get to the WCF.

What kind of success has the Knicks had? What makes you think that their situation is even remotely close to the Mavs?
