Knicks Offer $1M To Butler
Quote:
The Knicks extended a $1 million qualifying offer yesterday to their free-agent 6-foot-10 center Jackie Butler, making him a restricted free agent. The Knicks can match any offer from another team.
Butler's agent, Keith Glass, son of Larry Brown's agent, said he's received interest from four teams. It's unclear how much Isiah Thomas is willing to match.
"I'm encouraged by the interest," Glass said. Qyntel Woods is the Knicks' other free agent. If they re-sign both, the team would have 16 guaranteed contracts - one over the maximum. Butler is the higher priority. Thomas said he will not be aggressive in signing other free agents. He's "comfortable" with the roster and believes Larry Brown was at fault for a 23-59 record.

Re: Knicks Offer $1M To Butler
Although we can get him cheap, I think we should just forget about him and Woods.

Re: Knicks Offer $1M To Butler
I don't know about forgetting about Woods, I kinda like him and I think he has the potential to be good. I don't know why though, I just do.

Re: Knicks Offer $1M To Butler
1 mill a year? For how much he's shown and done, that's a fairly nice offer.

Re: Knicks Offer $1M To Butler
completely agree, if we have an empty spot on the roster then fine, but neither woods or butler impressed me that much that we HAVE to resign them.

Re: Knicks Offer $1M To Butler
For once, I'll say a good move by Isiah. Butler may never become a starter, but as an undrafted rookie, he busted his butt, and had a few games where he looked like he could become far more than he is. Plus, he doesn't have Jerome James' attitude or weight problem. Re-signing him should be fairly important. He's a good second-unit big man.

Re: Knicks Offer $1M To Butler
Is he really the right choice over Qyntel?

Re: Knicks Offer $1M To Butler
The Knicks have a number of players at the swingman position, and very few viable centers. I'd sign the position that is weaker.
