Well, no, not exactly. The Clippers traded for Harkless into the $$ they had offered to Morris. The Green and Beverley deals were separate from that. So there’d be no Moe if Morris had taken the Clippers’ deal.

Fuck, was hoping you said no!

The options at the trade deadline would’ve been endless with Moe, trez & the 1st, although I would’ve been completely fine keeping Moe

Yeah, my thinking also..

Had Morris signed the 3 year deal that was offered, would the Clips still been able to re-sign Pat & J.Green?

Moe should be somewhere from taxpayer MLE to MLE–6-9M range, I would say. He might be one of many guys who this suppressed market isn’t kind to, so he takes a one-year deal to stay with the Knicks and tries his luck again next summer when more money will be thrown around.

Wouldn’t mind bringing him back if he atleast had good size but there’s way too many under sized guards on the roster as is..

How much do you think Moe gets this off season?

I largely agree but I haven’t given up on Sham yet as a solid two way player. He has a high BB IQ and quick feet and has shown flashes of brilliance defensively. I also think he had a classic sophomore jinx this season especially with all the hype sucking the stability out of the arena. With a coach that isn’t nagging, bellyaching and wringing his hands at every turn I think he might chill and light it up. Only problem is he might be our best trade chip.

Wings are expensive in the NBA. Rodney was really bad last year but he graded out at about minimum-salary value. He was worse last season than, to compare underwhelming backup wings, Wesley Johnson was as a Clipper–but WeJo was an MLE guy.

Look out at the guys who you can probably get for the min at SF this off-season: Abdel Nader? Mario Hezonja? Thabo? McGruder would get a min deal if he was on the market this summer. Hopefully he has enough of a bounce-back year that he has above-min value next summer.

The last year isn’t guaranteed. So it’s actually an expiring with what is essentially a team option, giving it extra value. And the guarantee date on that season is July 15th, so as long as they translate guarantee dates for the adjusted schedule it means the Clippers (or whoever he is traded to) can wait until the FA dust settles next off-season before deciding whether or not to keep him. Great for flexibility.
