The 2012 New York Knicks: The Filler Year? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

We gave up picks too? Wow. Not upset or anything, just surprised. Didn't realize this would warrant picks as well.

Basically, Camby wasn't coming here for what they could offer. So Houston signed Camby, traded him to us for 3 guys (from what I hear they are just going cut Jort and Jordan), so as a thank you the Knicks gave them the draft picks.

Jerome Jordan is a 2nd round pick (swap)
Josh Harrellson is a 2nd round pick (swap)
Toney Douglas basically is a 2nd round pick/D-Leaguer at this point (swap)

I have no problems with it really.

My biggest gripe would be paying TD's salary for HOU. I don't understand how they got away with that.

Regardless...we stashed our 2nd round pick this year in Europe. He'll be here next year most likely and most people forget...we got another Euro in the Tyson Chandler S&T. He probably won't be here until 2015.

Plus (as if that wasn't enough)...$3M to buy a pick...is nothing to Dolan.

We're good.

Got it - I thought the two were unrelated.

Should've just checked the net I was being lazy....

JR back. Very productive day, bringing back JR and Novak, and getting Camby.

Now we'll see how they fill out the roster with minimum guys.

Beautiful. Next goal is to get a 4 at the vet minimum. Whose out there?

K-Mart would be a great pickup. IMO a solid offseason so far

How do you guys feel about going after Dahntay Jones? I don't know much about him.

He's restricted, no?

If he's an RFA...we'd be overpaying him.

Good perimeter defender off the bench but not worth overpaying for.

Re: The 2012 New York Knicks: The Filler Year?

He's on a player option for just under 3 mil. This is from the Knicks Wall

Dealing Dahntay Jones for, essentially, Jared Jeffries (Gadzuric will be waived immediately) would save the Pacers ~$1.5 million. Jeffries would make $1,352,181, the veteran’s minimum for a 10 year veteran, while Dahntay Jones will make $2,900,000. If the Pacers don’t see Jones in their future, they could flip him to New York to clear up some cap space.

If a deal was to occur, it would have to include Gadzuric’s non-guaranteed deal and a sign-and-trade of Bibby, Jeffries or Davis. The Pacer’s might agree to it since they would shed ~$1.5 million, but if they don’t value cap space highly enough, the Knicks could include cash considerations and/or future second round draft picks.

I don't want to give up Jeffries for Jones.

Our depth at SG is thin but even worse at PF.

If they can get Jones for Bibby + Gadzuric + cash/considerations...they should consider it.

But what about our 3rd PG- the Spaniard? Is he being signed or what.

Was just reading on RealGM that he's signed.
