    Hasn’t really played or been productive in years. He’s toast. Bynum has more in the tank than this guy.

    I'd wouldn't mind offering a vet min contract to Noah. But I doubt he'll take it. I don't think he's ready for that much salary reduction.

    Rather offer that to Bynum if that's the route we go.

    Thibs ran the dude into the ground, but for a while he was a defensive force.

    When big guys start having consecutive knick knack injury issues, I can’t recall a situation where it ever got better. I think he’s basically done.

    He’s basically NY’s Deng

    He's currently being paid $18-19 million/yr by the Knicks. He's not getting anything like that from us. He may consider a vet min contract a lowball offer for his services.

    When he's waived, all that money is still his though. Deng signed for the minimum in Minnesota (or close to it, I haven't checked), but that money is just off-set by his buy out amount.

    IMO Deng is more realistic about his career prospects going forward. Noah recently got into a fight with former Knicks coach Jeff Hornecek that turned physical.

    Right now, Noah doesn't see himself as a "washed up" player. And he seems to take it very personal if anybody else thinks he is.

    I think Deng is actually similar, just way more mature and professional. Noah has always been an emotional guy. When he was young it was cool, now? It's just sad.

    In a way, this kinda implies that dude is gonna remain in Portland for the foreseeable future, right?

    That's how I interpreted this as well when I first saw it.

    Although UCLA Health has an open door policy to any NBA player and alum, that ain't our building. Jackson Center belongs to a super fan if I'm not mistaken.

    Also, AD trade rumors are next to nil this year...but there is next year.
