Sounds to me like a blessing in disguise if the Knicks have a reason to not pay him

He's been having a solid year.  As a scorer, at least.  He's a ball stopper at this point in his career though, and I've thought for a while he'd be better off leading the second unit when Melo and Pingis are off the floor.

Would you want to give him a long term deal though?

Not with the injury history, no.
 
If we're talking about his production in a vacuum, I'd do it.  He'd be a far more efficient scorer if he got even half the calls he deserves.

If he's healthy, it's worse, because then you don't have an excuse for his mediocre play.

He is one of the three keys to beating the Cavs, so it might be a good get

Whats the point of signing a 1+1 team option deal for Rose?
 
If he sucks, the team will decline and he's a FA in 2018. How is that any different than him just signing a 1 year deal?
And if he does well, he's stuck in a below-desired salary, where as in a 1 year deal he could get a good contract offer as a FA.

you could say that about anyone going for a deal with a team option

But i agree on rose

He probably gets a 1year deal somewhere(sac)

Fuck Bryan
Fuck Jerry
Fuck the media for forcing the sixers to do this because they didn't like blatant roster tanking
Fuck Silver for making them

Fuck everyone who condemned tanking
Teams do it all the time

Huge example is the warriors a few years ago trading monta for injured bogut and sitting guys so they could keep their top 7 protected pick (harrison barnes)

Blatant tanking

And that funny part. Of course sixer fans are ecstatic over embiid after calling him a bust

And will love simmons too

Mostly because David Robinson broke his foot that year tho. Would have ended up with a better record with him
