    Keep his ass. Maybe he gets more focused on defense next year instead of trying to jack up shots. He is in the D-rose arena right now. No one is quite sure where he fits.

    Buying him out does nothing for us, doesn’t even free cap space. Hold on to him. Maybe a team wants some “star power” and willing to take him without us giving too much compensation. While it’s a long shot lol

    We don’t wanna do what we did to get rid of Ryan Anderson. Learn from that lesson.

    Wall was a poison pill contract. He has a lot of money left on his deal. Not sure how you buy that out, or what his number is to getting bought out. I think he could still command 15-20M/year in the open market, in which case he'd probably want about 60M of his deal paid out as part of any buyout, which I don't see happening.

    Knicks are 18-7 since D-Rose arrived. He has had one of his most efficient years including an uptick in 3s and while clarkson has it close to locked up, hes playing 6moy honorable level.

    tough to imagine J-Wall give up the money, blake gave up 13 or so. He did look good and athletic in flashes, plus he may 'help' close out games to get us Chet Holgrem next year

    it would be a huge mistake for tillmen to buyout wall. he should be extended as he'll be a great teacher for kjp and suggs.

    Teach them what exactly? How to lose?

    The guy has been a loser his entire NBA career, he is too selfish to be a real leader - he just leads teams into losing.

    He needs to go.....

    The problem I have with wall it is not his contract whatsoever.. just the fact that he destroys team chemistry is a massive ball hog is a terrible shooter and will completely destroy the morale of the young kids going forward

    plus we just don't have room for him if you think about it we just signed Kyrie, still 3 years we we have Armani Brooks to sign hopefully plus Gordon Porter and I think Augustine and maybe Bradley are coming bac

    That's a lot of guards

    lol....yes. If they stretch his contract and pay him until 2025 I won't be watching a second of it. I don't watch the religious crazies Texans. I didn't watch the Astros after they brought in Osuna. I won't be watching Tilman burn this team down any further. Stretching Wall's contract is a guarantee this team gets even worse.

    He was trolling everybody.

    John Wall is here to expire. No one wants him. Tilman isn't going to pay money for him not to be here, not that much money lol.
