New York Knicks Land Quincy Acy In Four-Player Deal

On August 6th, 2014, the New York Knicks traded guard Wayne Ellington and forward-center Jeremy Tyler to the Sacramento Kings for forwards Quincy Acy and Travis Outlaw.

*The trade also features the removal of a protection on the 2016 second round pick that the Kings owned from the Knicks from a prior trade.

Travis Outlaw became a member of the Sacramento Kings in a unique way. The forward was waived by the New Jersey Nets through the amnesty clause that came about from the 2011 NBA lockout. After the lockout ended and the CBA was agreed to by both owners and players, a one-time rule came into effect. Teams were allowed to waive a player, and remove that player's salary from their cap sheets.

Outlaw had signed a five-year, $35 million deal with the New Jersey Nets and had largely disappointed in his first season with New Jersey. Seeing an opportunity to get rid of Outlaw, the Nets used the amnesty clause on the forward, getting rid of four years and $28 million on their payroll owed to Outlaw. The next step of the amnesty waiver clause was teams making bids to sign Outlaw. The Kings won the bid, signing Outlaw to a four-year, $12 million deal.

The Kings were in the midst of a six-year streak of losing seasons coming into the 2011-12 season. They got off to a poor start (2-5) when the team fired coach Paul Westphal. Westphal and young star DeMarcus Cousins had failed to see eye to eye. The team replaced Westphal with assistant coach Keith Smart.

The Kings never turned their season around under Smart, going 20-39 over the final 59 games to finish 22-44. Outlaw was on the fringes of Sacramento’s rotation in his first season. The Mississippi product played in just 38 games games and averaged 4.3 PPG, 1.6 RPG, 0.5 SPG and 0.5 BPG in 14.4 MPG.

In the 2012 offseason, the Kings had the fifth pick in the 2012 draft and selected Kansas forward Thomas Robinson. Though Sacramento’s offense was solid, finishing 12th overall during the 2012-13 season, the team was second to last in overall defense. Sacramento began the year 2-8 and never recovered, going 28-54. Outlaw still couldn’t find much time in his second year on the court. He saw action in 38 contests and compiled 5.3 PPG, 1.6 RPG and 0.6 APG in 11.7 MPG.

In the 2013 offseason, the Kings had the seventh overall pick and used it on Kansas guard Ben McLemore. Sacramento hired coach Mike Malone to take over. Sacramento also made some key personnel moves, dealing former Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans and acquiring Greivis Vasquez in a three-team trade with the New Orleans Pelicans and Portland Trail Blazers.

Though Malone had started to build a better relationship with Cousins compared to his predecessors, the Kings were still far away from a playoff team. Sacramento struggled again, finishing the 2013-14 season with a 28-54 record. In December of that season, the Kings made a deal with the Toronto Raptors, acquiring Rudy Gay, Aaron Gray and Quincy Acy.

Acy ended up appearing in 56 games with the Kings, compiling 2.7 PPG and 3.6 RPG in 14.0 MPG. Outlaw played in 63 games (four starts) and posted 5.4 PPG, 2.7 RPG and 0.8 APG in 16.9 MPG. 

In the 2014 offseason, Acy appeared in Summer League for the Kings’ entry in Las Vegas. Acy put up 11.3 PPG on 53.8% shooting, 6.7 RPG, 0.6 APG, 0.9 SPG and 0.7 BPG in 26.3 MPG. The Kings had a glut at power forward with Acy, Jason Thompson and Carl Landry on the roster. 

Seeing a way to get rid of Outlaw’s onerous contract, the Kings dealt Acy along with Outlaw to the New York Knicks. Outlaw ended his time in Sacramento with averages of 5.1 PPG, 2.1 RPG and 0.6 APG in 140 career games. He posted shooting splits of 39/31/74 from the field, three-point line and free-throw line respectively.

Jeremy Tyler had a long path to become a New York Knick. He first joined the Knicks Summer League team in Las Vegas in 2013. Tyler impressed, piling up 12.8 PPG on 56.2% shooting, 6.4 RPG and a whopping 27.8 PER in 17.7 MPG. 

After his strong showing in Summer League, the Knicks committed to him with a two-year, partially guaranteed contract. Tyler competed in training camp for the Knicks but was a final cut in training camp due to a stress fracture in his right foot.

Tyler went back to the NBA D-League whoile rehabbing his foot. He ended up playing for the Knicks’ D-League affiliate, the Erie Bayhawks. Tyler excelled, averaging 19.8 PPG and 11.4 RPG in five games before the Knicks decided to sign him back to the main roster after waiving J.R. Smith’s little brother Chris Smith. The deal was a two-year deal for $1.8 million. The second year of the deal was non-guaranteed.

At times, Tyler showed potential as a solid pick and roll big man. He could never get consistent playing time, appearing in 41 games and managing 3.6 PPG, 2.7 RPG and 0.5 BPG in 9.7 MPG. The Knicks finished the 2013-14 season with a disappointing 37-45 record. The team had gone through changes in the front office, hiring former coaching legend Phil Jackson as president of basketball operations.

The 2014 offseason saw the Knicks make a big move when they dealt center Tyson Chandler and guard Raymond Felton to the Dallas Mavericks. In return, the Knicks acquired Samuel Dalembert, Jose Calderon, Shane Larkin, Wayne Ellington and two second round picks. Known as a quality three-point shooter, Ellington had one year left on his contract.

In his second Summer League stint with the Knicks in 2014, Tyler had a weaker performance. In five games, the 6′10″ big averaged 9.8 PPG on 43.2% shooting and 5.8 RPG in 25.7 MPG. This would be Tyler’s last performance with the Knicks before he was dealt with Ellington to Sacramento.

As part of the deal, the protections on a 2016 second round pick that the Kings owned via New York were removed. The pick was protected from 31-37 in the draft. The Knicks first dealt the pick to Portland in a 2012 deal involving Raymond Felton, Kurt Thomas and Jared Jeffries. The second rounder later moved to Sacramento in the three-team deal involving Tyreke Evans and Greivis Vasquez. After removing the protections, the Kings dealt the future second rounder to the Houston Rockets in September of 2014.

After the trade, the Kings waived Wayne Ellington using the stretch provision nearly one month after the trade. Ellington had one year and $2.77 million remaining on his contract. By rule of the CBA, the stretch provision stipulated that if a player was waived before September 1st, their remaining salary is paid out in twice the remaining years, plus one. 

Since Ellington had one year on his deal, he was waived and the Kings paid out the rest of his salary over a three-year period. Ellington went on to sign a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Tyler was waived a few days after Ellington.

For the Knicks, Outlaw — and his guaranteed contract — was traded in 2014 preseason so the team could make room on the roster to sign undrafted free agent Travis Wear to a contract for the season.

The Knicks began the 2014-15 season with hope, winning two of their first three games. A run that saw them lose 35 of their next 38 games destroyed any chance of playoff hopes that the franchise had coming into the season. New York would finish the season with the second-worst record in the NBA at 17-65. The mark set a franchise record for the worst season in terms of winning percentage in the franchise’s history.

The losing and subsequent injuries to forwards Carmelo Anthony, Amar’e Stoudemire and Andrea Bargnani allowed Acy to see serious minutes in New York’s rotation. Acy explored developing a three-pointer. After attempting 17 long bombs in his first two seasons, Acy took 60 threes, making 18 (30%). He ended his season with averages of 5.9 PPG, 4.4 RPG and 1.0 APG in 68 games (22 starts) and 18.9 MPG. In the offseason, Acy ended up signing back with Sacramento on a two-year deal with a player option in the final year.

New York Knicks general manager Steve Mills on the trade (via ESPN):

“We were clearly heavier at (shooting guard) and needed to strengthen our situation at (small forward). So this clearly helps us there.”

On Quincy Acy and Travis Outlaw (via USA Today):

“Quincy, we’ve watched him and paid attention to him. We actually saw him a lot in Summer League. He adds a lot of energy. He’s a high energy player and he defends, he can play multiple positions, he runs the floor, blocks shots, he adds a level of energy that we think is missing when we look across the roster and we think he can be helpful there. He’s also a guy who is young and a guy who is going to give us everything he can, regardless of how many minutes he plays. With Travis, he’s a veteran, which we like, he can shoot the 3-ball, he’s long and athletic and we know he’s a guy that has the capabilities to play behind Melo (Carmelo Anthony).”

How Acy provides energy which is unique (via New York Post):

“[Quincy] adds a lot of energy. He’s a high-energy player and he defends, he can play multiple positions, he runs the floor, blocks shots. He adds a level of energy that we think is missing when we look across the roster, and we think he can be helpful there.”

On Outlaw (via Newsday):

“With Travis, he is a veteran that can shoot the three and he’s long and athletic. We know he’s a guy who has the capabilities to play behind Melo.”

On trying to balance the roster out (via New York Post):

“Phil [Jackson] and I have been looking at our roster ever since we made the [Tyson Chandler trade], and one of our goals was to balance the roster out from a position standpoint a little bit better than it was following the trade. Part of this was to make the roster better balanced, and also to provide us with depth across all the positions.”

Sacramento Kings general manager Pete D’Alessandro on the trade (via The Sacramento Bee):

“We want to thank Quincy and Travis for their contributions to the Kings organization. We all wish them great success.”

Suns Or Nets Could Take On A Raptors Salary Dump

#Suns or #Nets could take on a #Raptors salary dump ... for a price

If as it appears Raptors president Masai Ujiri is looking hard for a way to dump salary, then his best and possibly only options are with the Nets and Suns, but it’s going to cost him. When everyone knows you are desperately trying to move a player, they are going to demand a pound of flesh. Woj mentions Demarre Carroll contract, 2 years and $30+m left, as one Raps would dump. Suggests Suns and…

Gli Arcadi di Terra d'Otranto (7/x): Antonio Caraccio di Nardò

di Armando Polito

Entrò nell’Arcadia il 2 maggio 16911 ed assunse il nome pastorale di Lacone Cromizio.  Per Lacone il riferimento potrebbe essere al greco Λάκων (leggi lacon), che significa della Laconia, spartano. Tuttavia, siccome è la seconda parte del nome pastorale che di regola contiene un riferimento toponomastico (e qui, oltretutto, sarebbe in ballo la Laconia e non l’Arcadia, anche se essa confina a nord con la prima), mi pare più probabile che Lacone evochi uno dei due protagonisti pastori del  quinto idillio di Teocrito [(IV-III secolo a. C.), l’altro è Comata], che si rimproverano vicendevolmente di furto, il primo della siringa, il secondo di una pelliccia. Quanto a Cromizio credo sia un a forma aggettivale di origine latina (Cromitius) dal greco Κρῶμι (leggi Cromi), una delle cinquanta città d’Arcadia che secondo la testimonianza di Pausania2 (II secolo d. C.) furono  fondate dagli altrettanti figli di Licaone. Cromo, appunto, fondò Cromi.

Per la vita e le opere rinvio alla biografia scritta dall’arcade Domenico De Angelis (di lui tratterò nella parte 12 di questa collana), dedicata all’altro arcade Tommaso Maria Ferrari (vedi la parte 5 di questa collana) ed inserita in Giovanni Mario Crescimbeni (a cura di), Le vite degli Arcadi illustri, Antonio de’ Rossi, Roma, 1708, parte I, pp. 141-168.

Per quanto riguarda la produzione arcadica (dunque successiva al 1690, data di fondazione dell’accademia; il Caraccio vi era entrato, come sappiamo, il 2 maggio 1691) riporto i versi iniziali dei componimenti inseriti in Rime degli Arcadi, tomo IV, Antonio de’ Rossi, Roma, 1717, pp. 147-174. Da un controllo effettuato, però, è risultato che essi erano già stati pubblicati tutti meno uno in Poesie liriche del barone Antonio Caraccio dedicate all’Eminentissimo e Reverendissimo Signor Cardinale Pamphilio, Tinassi, Roma, 16893. Di seguito i versi iniziali con la doppia indicazione della pagina del volume del 1689 e di quello del 1717 e, evidenziato in rosso, quello dell’unico componimento nuovo del volume del 1717.

O degli affanni, e de’ piacer compagna (p. 164/p. 147)

Non spente già di due leggiadre gote (p. 165/p. 147)

Or che sen vien alla città del Taro (p. 248)

Libera già fuor del suo mortal pondo (p. 191/p. 148)

Qui, dove scoglio in mar sorge eminente (p. 192/p. 149)

Benché, Donna gentil. dal tuo bel viso (p. 122/p. 149)

In quella età, che al gioco intenta,  e al riso (p. 2/p. 150)

Poi che l’emula imago alfin compita  (p. 134/p. 150)

Al marmo, all’urna, or che fa il biondo Dio (p. 21/p. 151)

Due luci adoro, e un dolce irato sguardo (p.3/p. 151)

L’egro timor, che l’invisibil vede (p. 20/p. 152)

Non sentii fuoco allor, che un guardo, un riso (p. 3/p. 152)

Mentre a i zefiri molli il crin sciogliea (pp. 13-19/ pp. 153-156)

Celebre ancor sotto le sacre piante (pp. 183-187/pp. 156-158)

È d’antico romor fresca memoria (pp. 172-178/pp. 161)

Oltre le mete, che segnò del Mondo (pp. 54-79/pp. 161-1749))

Mi limiterò, perciò, a riprodurre ed a commentare il testo dell’unico componimento che, per motivi cronologici, può considerarsi arcadico. Non posso non precisare. però, che queste distinzioni sono fittizie, in quanto tutta la produzione arcadica del XVII secolo segue, sostanzialmente, le linee guida di quella barocca.

Or che sen viene alla città del Taroa

Donnab, dal cui real fecondo seno

nascer vedremo, quai  vide già l’Ismenoc,

mentre un letto raccoglie in dolce, e caro

A parte il fatto che quest’opera ebbe una serie infinita di edizioni fino a quella napoletana (manca il nome dell’editore) del 1833, il che contribuì, sia pure indirettamente,  a perpetuare la memoria del Caraccio arcade, va ricordato che Faustina Maratti (o Maratta) era la figlia di quel Carlo un dipinto del quale il Caraccio aveva celebrato nel sonetto iniziante per Poiché l’emula imago alfin compita, per il quale vedi http://www.fondazioneterradotranto.it/2019/09/07/antonio-caraccio-di-nardo-e-le-sue-ecfrasi/?fbclid=IwAR1c54p-fX6hDfK46_im2yti5qOFwpe3YnQQC9OkD_rV-fWvh1tBEgIz444.
