Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 2466278, member: 767"] Yeah I do remember that, for JR, I'm assuming he got some kind of promise from them earlier they would take care of him and thats why he didn't have any other market. It doesn't make sense everyone else would get paid crazy money and no one would want him. but I dunno. Thompson was different, he wasn't a free agent, right? They offered him the QO. So it's impossible to say what his market was. He couldn't sign anywhere else. He would've had a market if he signed the QO and hit free agency the next summer, I'm pretty sure of that. (thats how I remember it/my quick googling is reminding me, i may be off on a detail here or there?) Maybe they overpaid JR by a few million a year or something, but does that really matter? [/QUOTE]
