Should the Knicks pocket their room exception?

PrintHere are some numbers you might like to know. 72: the number of hours, roughly, until the Knicks will participate in a basketball game that counts toward their record. 14: the number of guys on the Knicks roster, including the newly added Steve Novak and not including the non-guaranteed deals of Devin Green and Chris Hunter. 5,000,000: over two years, the number of US dollars the Knicks are still permitted to spend on a fifteenth player because of the CBA's "room" exception. 4: the number of repetitions at which the "here are some numbers" gimmick gets tiresome.
So, the season is pretty much here, and the Knicks still haven't used their room exception. Novak and Baron Davis both settled for less, and it just hasn't happened with James Posey or Bostjan Nachbar or anybody else. The rapidly approaching season tip-off isn't a formal deadline, though, so the Knicks might just save the exception for use at a later point. Kenyon Martin's name is one that's come up a lot recently, as his deal in China frees him up to leave only once his CBA season ends in March (I imagine he's being prevented from fleeing by a team of those armored rhino guards from Kung Fu Panda). Marc Berman hears that Martin might be a target for the exception should both entities remain available until that late in the year. He mentions Wilson Chandler as well, which is a signing I think a lot of us could get behind if Wil was amenable.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Even discounting the fact that I don't think highly of Martin, (the word "fugazi" still comes to mind, which probably says more about me than it does about K-Mart) I'm instinctively not thrilled with the idea of pocketing the exception when the bench is far from perfect. Then again, with Novak now on board, there aren't too many guys out there right now (Leon Powe is the only name that tickles me) who could give the second unit a different look for $2.5 million a year. And while the bench isn't wonderful, there are certainly enough Knicks demanding minutes to fill a ten- or eleven-man rotation. Okay, I may have just talked myself into wanting the Knicks to save the exception and fill that last spot with a deal for the veteran's minimum. Chris Hunter had previously been my favorite of the non-guaranteed bros, but Devin Green looked excellent last night, so now I'm undecided. There are, of course, vet's minimum options outside of the current roster, but it'd be cool for one of those two to get the opportunity.
So, I started this post thinking I was opposed to saving the room exception, but now I've decided it's just that I think Kenyon Martin is kinda yucky. What say you?

I agree with you. There is no one worth spending that $$ on currently. I’d love to see WChandler come back. I hate the idea of KMartin as a Knick.
Plus Melo has already filled the Knick’s quota for player with bad tattoos….Kmar and his tattoos would be OD, although WChandler’s neck tattoo isnt all that great either…..
With all bias aside, KMart is probally a better fit right now than Chandler…Amare is going to need to rest his aching back and sore knees and KMart brings a physical defensive presince off the bench…how good of a defensive frountcourt is KMart and Chandler?
Wilson Chandler is not as good a defender at the 4 as Martin
but he is pretty decent, and the reason Dantoni loves him is that he’s a more versatile defender and offensive player. He can not only D up forwards but guards as well. I’d ratrher Chandler simply for the versatility.
Whether we’re able to get him or not remains to be seen. He’s restricted where as KMart is a ufa, so we don’t have to worry about Denver matching for Kenyon but with a couple roster spots open they may match for Wilson.

Wait, what?
Show us on this teddy bear where Leon Powe tickled you, Seth.
And I would love to have Wil back but you have to think that Denver would match a contract for that amount.

Question
Can someone explain for me what exactly a restricted free agent is? I understand that Denver can match whatever any other team offers W. Chandler, but does that mean he then has an obligation to resign with Denver? Or can I naively/optimistically hope that Chandler might be willing to come back to new york for less money since he seems to have such a soft spot for the knicks.
if Denver matches
he stays a Nugget, period.

No Way W.Chandler
W.Chandler is only 23 years old. He will not sign back with the Knicks. As a RFA he will go for more money then what the Knicks will pay him. Remeber being a RFA the Nuggets can match a low offer and keep him. Since he wants out of Denver he is going to go the route for more money with the intention that Denver will not match it.
Maybe the Nets will smarten up and offer W.Chandler money 6million+ to be their starting three.
The guy might say he wants to come back to the Knicks, just so he can create failure for himself on the open market. Why would he be a backup to Carmelo and Amare?
I was sure Chris Hunter was getting the last spot
But Green did a few nice things last nite!
So whats more important? A Center or a guard? I would have to say a guard b/c two or 3 of our guards ( Shump, Landry, Bully) could all play SF.
Hmmm
Andy Rautins for mayor... or at least 12th man
ha..fugazi
I don’t mind Martin. I know what he did to the Knicks, and the thing is I think Tim Thomas is a fugazi too doing that Tony yayo shit after a make.
I also think he’d give us some toughness with the bench mob. For some reason I just envisioned him and Jeffries playing well together. Or maybe I just pinched a brain cell whilst farting

I love how he plays, but it seems a lot of people don't like him off the court.
I think he’d be awesome off the bench though.
What do you mean they won 4 cups in a row? Is that possible?
Kenyon, if interested, to the Knicks in March is a no-brainer. Why are we even debating this?
On a more unrelated note: If the Rockets get added to Dwight’s shortlist holy cow, that trade is done. Rockets can put out 3 starting lineups with the depth they have.
3 average lineups

well obviously average. But it certainly gives them the opportunity to "overtrade" for a star, which they almost did until Stern pulled out the rug from underneath them...
still a threat for some other team’s star.

I could give a 2 fisted flying fuck about another team’s luck. They can draft 50 Lebron Jameses and they can get asshole tumors and croak in a month and not have the luck the Knicks have.

well with the Knicks its a self-inflicted sort of a bad luck, Because the team's management up until 3 years ago, had been responsible for all its bad luck.
In that respect, its different from what blazers and rockets have gone through.
I would have traded Oden the day after he popped his knee getting up from the couch right after he got drafted.
That was a red flag the size of China. Brittle as heck. And they could have gotten a nice haul for him back then.
yes he can
that’s why all trades reported usually end with the statement “pending league approval” usually a trade is vetoed for medical purposes but I’m sure there are other reasons as well. But yes, the commish can vetoes any trade on any team.

no it won't.
teams that are gonna make the playoffs will do so, and as usual in the playoffs the better teams win. If you have good depth, which the Rockets don’t really have, then OK.

In the regular season, yes
for teams that are fighting for a playoff spot. But in the playoffs? meh. Depth is nice but you can only have 5 guys on the floor at once. Having more than one backup at a certain position basically does you no good, and I think it hurts because guys don’t settle into roles as well, and it can lead to disgruntlement and team disunity.

Agreed...
except if the NBA keeps the same playoff format as last year, it’ll seem like they’ll play one or two games at one venue… and then have a week off before the next game for broadcast reasons. Seemed like there was SO much time between games last spring.
So teams might be a bit tired at the start of the playoffs assuming they don’t use depth throughout the year a bit more than they might normally or can’t rest after securing a certain seed… but rest can definitely be gained during the spaced out games of the playoffs.
Yeah, back-to-backs at the same location...
but once they travel, they’ll have multiple days off for sure.
the Lakers gonna implode regardless
Mike Brown won’t be able to deal with that circus. I’d say the C’s. Old farts, no Baby, No Serial Killer Perkins, they were terrible the 2nd half last year anyway.

Me too Cs. JG out for season on an already thin bench is the proverbial final nail.
Here is the downside: The bulls have omer asik and 2 first round picks for the infamous 2012 draft and I could easily see them dealing all 3 assets or at least 2 of those assets to the Celtics for Ray allen. THAT scares me.
Lakers without Kobe for any stretch...
could struggle big time obviously.
I could see the Celtics struggling because of age, probably lack or normal conditioning and short bench. That’s me speaking as a Knick fan of course.
I think the Spurs will be ok… and the Mavs will again be strong.
I think one of the most exciting teams to watch will be the T-Wolves. They probably won’t make the playoffs, but they’ll be damn fun to watch and could definitely surprise quite a few people.
Lakers
not looking great for em right now…but I will say, every time I count them out and I think they are done they somehow find a new sense of purpose and energy. every. single. time.

Y'all probably know how I feel about this
No Martin. We don’t have a need for his ‘tude or necklips around here. Talent notwithstanding. I feel very strongly about it. Bad chemistry move. Partially because Kenyon’s an asshole, partially because I think Melo needs a clean break from Denver (same problem I had with Chauncey).
As for what we could use the 2.5 million for now, it’s hard to say after two preseason games what our holes are going to be. There are also injuries that could happen. I think pocketing the 2.5 makes an awful lot of sense, especially with players in China.
My hope is that for some odd reason, the Nuggets decide to renounce Chandler in March. It’s a long shot, but I think it’s worth holding out for.

The Lakers had bad chemistry with Shaq and Kobe
They won 3 consecutive titles.

but Kobe and Shaq (much younger versions of each) are slightly better than K-Mart… just slightly. ;-)
I don’t think the value K-Mart would add is worth the risk to the chemistry we seem to already be building (LOVE seeing Tyson cheering what seems like every play from the sidelines of a preseason game).
Kobe had bad chemistry with everyone
But he’s one of those rare, rare players that can still contribute. Big credit goes to Phil Jackson.
Get The Frickin' Rebound
Not a Martin fan either.
I just don’t think Kenyon Martin is worth the trouble, and like Seth, I don’t like waiting to improve the team. They should be looking to improve now.
My choice, and I’ve been beating this drum for a while on Twitter, is Kyrylo Fesenko. Fesenko is a more athletic Kendrick Perkins (although admittedly less proven and not as nasty). Fesenko is exactly the sort of non-ball commanding, lowpost rebounder and defender the Knicks need to complement STAT and Melo. He’ll also come cheap.
Essentially, I think he’d be a perfect backup for Chandler, who has shown a propensity to get into foul trouble. Plus, it’s always nice to have a guy who’s gonna put Dwyane Wade on his back when he blows by Mike Bibby at will.

Only downsides is the guy has little offense and averages 2fouls/10mins.
What do you mean they won 4 cups in a row? Is that possible?
I say "pocket" it for now
and hold on to it until we have a full chance to really assess what we have. If we had a full offseason and preseason, we’d have a much better idea about our rookies and returners – even tho I don’t know if anyone could have predicted Balkman’s renaissance. lol
But I’d prefer to hang onto either Hunter or Green and see what develops. Even without JJ playing (not that I’m saying he’s anything NEAR an answer), we seemed to be ok on the inside last night. Walker, whether he plays or not this year, has shown he can perform in stretches.
So let’s just see what we have and take it from there please.

I'm in on pocketing the exception and using it on K-Mart
Fugazi-ness aside, we need a backup big man and he seems to be the best possibility left. If we got him in March, BD should be back by then, and the bench unit would be TD, Shump, Jorts and K-Mart (with occasional appearances by Bibby and Billy walker). That’s a pretty decent mix of offense and defense off the bench and it would allow for Jared Jeffries to stay off the damn court.
I think Martin is a bargain at 2.5
He is still skilled and has alot to contribute, If he plays things right I think he could still get anywhere between 5-7 million a year.
It’s tough cuz at this point I’d rather let Hunter and Green audition with those non guaranteed contracts and use the exception only if someone goes down.
On the other hand, I trust Walker and/or Fields to back up Melo but I’m not too sure on Amare’s bench replacement and that would be a spot Martin could fill easily. Plus I wouldn’t mind seeing Trina’s ass in the Garden.
I could go either way. My gut says keep the guys we have now and see how it shakes out

Kenyon Martin is totally yucky, Seth!
I wish there was some obvious pun you could make about Andrew Luck.
I wouldn't mind holding the exception for a china player "if they'd take it".
But that’s a gamble. And it would also take longer for a china player to adjust to our gameplan for the playoffs given bringing them in late.
I’d rather us “definitely” use the exception now, then gamble on a player taking it later. Diogu/Thornton/Powe/Stevenson(with rooster’s plan) are players I’d throw the 2.5mil offer at. And if they say no, I’m not sure where I’d go from there. Maybe hold it, but maybe not because we really do need a quality big off the bench. Jeffries/jorts/Balkman ain’t gonna cut it for the whole season imo.
What do you mean they won 4 cups in a row? Is that possible?
Wow, Lopez stress fracture. That screws up their playoff chances a bit.
What do you mean they won 4 cups in a row? Is that possible?
any prayer at Kris Humphries???
or as Clyde called him – the Kardashian guy?
He already re-signed with the Nets
played in the preseason game at the Garden last night, got booed by the crowd, which then sarcastically chanted for him in the 4th quarter.
Get The Frickin' Rebound
He got booooed so bad
I was suprised that the crowd got on him like that….. but you can’t feel bad for him I suppose, he makes millions
Andy Rautins for mayor... or at least 12th man
Unless Chuck Hayes is willing to take it then yes pocket it. Posey isn't worth more than the minimum right now.
I hate to say it, but Wilson is way too unrealistic for this season. He comes back as a restricted FA and there’s no way Denver doesn’t match an offer for the “room exception” and that’s completely ignoring that’s waaaaayyyy under his value. Maybe next summer if we can get someone like Nash or Andre Miller to agree to a minimum or BAE deal, then we could sign Wilson to the MLE because he’ll be unrestricted. But even that’s a paycut for him IMO, it’ll come down to how much he loves NY. He’d be awesome with this new group, literally the perfect fit either as 6th man or starting SG. But we still need a PG (even if Baron pans out we’ll need to re-sign him and we don’t have his bird rights), so it makes it tricky.
Regarding Kenyon, he was my top choice when we were thinking about 1 year deals only, so obviously I’m behind this 100%… that being said, I do realize why others are hesitant. I’ve watched KMart play a lot, and I’ve never seen someone with such intensity. He is a defensive quarterback and so is Tyson. I don’t think they’d “get in the way” of each other at all. Martin would be ideal for 25 mpg off the bench. He can back up both big spots (I know he’s a PF and undersized, but he’s as tall as Jorts, stronger than Jefferies and much bigger than Balkman). I think he’s still good friends with Melo (although I wouldn’t be surprised if Melo held a little grudge against Kenyon for always being injured and basically putting Denver in cap hell for 7 years, then again, that’s not Kenyon’s fault) which could help bring him here.

Great post
I agree with every thing you said
love chuck hayes
in fact I’m a fan of small dudes who play bigger than they are in general, just not for the Knicks. I always get the feeling as if they’ll get here and fail or get injured and will suddenly start playing like their actual size….but worse. It’s probably unwarranted but I want the Knicks big men to actually have some height. Too terrifying for me otherwise, not to say being tall will make you good but it just worries me.
Guys like that usually make up for size with athleticism, but one injury and that could be out the window.

Kenyon Martin would be pretty useful
he gives us much better forward depth. He plays good team D, except unlike Jared Jeffries, he can rebound, block shots, and occasionally put the ball in the basket.. He’s also probably good Chandler insurance.
K-MART Special!
Love to see him in A Knicks uniform on the cheap and give us 12 minutes a night of solid badass play.
K-MART Special!
Sheeeeeeeshussss. No more KMart. Had to put up with this carp the last 7years... no more!!!
He’s not a leader, he’s not a team player, he’s not a tough guy, he’s not a positive influence on the team
He’s a selfish wannabe-leader… meaning if he’s not under the dilusion of being “the man” he becomes a negative influence
Charles Oakley was a tough guy, Calvin Natt was the ultimate tough guy… there’s a huge difference between tough player and punk.
He wasn’t mature or man enough to honor his CBA contract because the team was out in the sticks. He will not be mature enough to be a 10-15minute player off the bench. He will sour the locker room.
Why, because that’s what he’s always doneCase in point, though he is universally listed as a player with one of the worst contracts in NBA history, he was quoted trashing the Nuggets for signing Harrington as a FA rather than extending his contract
That’s really the kind of person anybody would want in their already very fragile locker room?
He gets in a pissing contest with JR Smith last year… errr I mean pranks. He gets threatening and angry because JR out punked him… the part about KMart starting was convenviently forgotten on his part
Heaven help us… or Buddha or anyone who’d listen
Forget about the punk who “starts” the fight. go sign the man who will end the fight

Happy holidays is not getting the gift that keeps on giving
you problems. Attitude aside, he’s a half assed underachieving malcontent who, while strong and muscular, has no team IQ and would be a one hit wonder if he lasted. Why do we always want these players? I LOVED Marbs when we got him, even tho I knew he’d be a chem issue. I LOVED Allan Houston even tho I knew he’d not measure up to the contract. We all do it. We overvalue players who don’t fit. I’d bet he and Amar’e would clash and POOF, he’d just be a whisper among all the forgotten players that have passed thru the MSG doors. Its my opinion and I’m sticking to it. I’’d rather a miracle happened and Balkman make me eat about 1 years worth of drills I’ve laid upon him with consistent positive production. Also, If ANY of us need a reason for NOT getting Kmart (Nah, he ain’t no Bargain) Martin, we need only scroll up a few posts and realize he gets Dizzy’s seal of approval. Nuff said.
Agreed
Normally I give players the benefit of the doubt when it comes to personality issues (Ive defended the baron Davis signing to a lot of my friends the past few days) but Kmart goes beyond my limits. Every time I hear him talk he sounds like a thug and then he has a pretty nice history to back it up. I will acknowledge that in purely basketball terms he would be a great backup big, but I don’t think it’s worth the cancer he can bring to this team.
Basically, I could see him getting in a fight with D’Antoni, and once a player is fighting with the coach, the chemistry usually goes to hell.

Sign me up, could there be a more perfect backup PF for Amare?
Amare has already talked having to take some games off and maybe play some limited minutes during some of the more greuling stretches of the season….having a guy like KMart who is capable to play those big minutes, will be huge
Also think about when we have KMart and Chandler on the floor together, the defense would be phenominal….imagine a defensive lineup of Douglas, Shumpert, Jefferies, Martin, Chandler….unreal
Bill Simmons keeps talking about us getting aaron brooks out of china
Dont know the logistics of this, but that’d be a great move.

Keep everyone fresh, and no one has to play too much. Maybe the rest of the guys (Novak/Bully/Balkman/Jorts/Jordan) get some minutes too. That would be nice.

Pringles likes guys who can shoot
which I believe excludes guys like KMart and Powe. I think we are going to see a lot more of Jorts than most people expected for this reason. I think we are more likely to get Aaron Brooks who can fill it up when he gets hot.
The Landryman can
And yet Jared Jeffries keeps getting minutes...

Pocket it
I don’t think that K-Mart, for all that toughness and whatnot, is actually very good. He’s OK, but I’d rather save the exception in case some other opportunity arises later. Also, Jorts clearly looks like a rotation player to me, so I don’t think our need for another big is as dire as it was a week ago.
Also Kenyon Martin << Fugazi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJFWirQ3ks
I'm pretty sure I said to give Jorts a rotation spot
which doesn’t foreclose on anything so… not sure what I said that you’re disagreeing with
If we sign K-Mart it can't happen until March so regardless
1) we’d be pocketing the exception 2) Jorts et. al. would get playing time 3) K-Mart would be fresh for the playoffs
