      Fields was the hot new girl when he was a rookie. Knicks changed and so did his role. So, Colangelo took a gamble on a change of scenery. Year one hasn't done much. But, see what year two might bring. I really could not give less of a fuck about what he's getting paid.

        The signing wasn't bad, the amount of money was. Change of scenery and role can work wonders, but no need to overpay that much.

          You have to overpay RFA or there's just no point..

            No you don't. You don't "have to" do anything.

            From a point of simplicity the option to not sign a RFA (in this case Fields) is always there.

            He in no way HAD TO overpay. He chose to because he felt in some way doing so Fields was worth it (whether it was to block a Nash deal in NY, or because he felt Fields as a player was worth it, or both).

              Yes, you have to. Don't tell me that you don't.

                In the case of Fields, he didn't have to. He could have signed him for 1$ and New york wouldn't have been able to use him in a sign and Trade.

                  add Triano to the list of coaches that Bryan Colangelo manipulated and was forced to play guys he had no interest in playing at times he had no interest in playing them.

                    You're not addressing the point that was made. You refer to the choice to go after a RFA or not, but the post was saying that if you choose to go after a RFA, you have to overpay, or "there's just no point" (because the current team will match).

                        You always seem to pick that one insignificant detail and try to use that to discredit a point. Considering there is a league minimum, this was obviously an exaggeration. The point still stands, to prevent a sign and trade of Nash to the Knicks, all you needed was his signature, 6.5 Million a year for someone about to sit on the knicks bench wasn't necessary anyway you slice it.

                          Colangelo chose to. Its that simple.

                            You don't have to pay $6.5M to a guy coming off a season where he shot 25.6% for the 3PT line and 56% from the Free Throw line.

                            If you are making this move to block the Steve Nash sign and trade, you don't need a specific amount to get it done, any amount would be sufficient. Based on Fields production, he was likely worth between $2M-$3M per season, so $4M would have been an acceptable 'over-pay', but $6.5M was just Colangelo-esque.

                              Plus we are going to be paying Landry Fields $9 million in the final year of his deal (2015)....that's make DeRozan look like a steal at $9.5!!!

                                The splendid arguments and excellent use of logic in your posts never seize to amaze me.
