FIRE PHIL! How dare he give a rookie 15 million before he has played even one game.


Exactly, Phil sucks, Mudiay at 4 would've been less exspansive!111!

Has he really learned? At one point early in his career Reddick was statistically one of the worst defenders in the NBA (at any position).


well, yeah. he used to be one of the worst. he was god awful on ORL. but i think towards the end there he got much better (albeit, that's considered adequate by NBA standards). was a duke fan growing up so i recall redick. was awful. but if you watch him, and statistically, he has improved.

of course, if does alleviate some pressure, and helps with confidence, knowing that an elite helping shot blocker and rim protector is right behind you

I'm happy he started a youtube series though...

He should check with Cuban for a max contract.

Would you guys trade Calderon for Chris Andersen and Mario Chalmers? Both Birdman and Rio are expiring contracts. There's a rumor of a 3 team deal that could involve the above exchange for the Knicks. Calderon goes back to Dallas and Dallas sends a Felton's small contract and a 2nd rounder to Miami.

If money works to trade that straight up, YES!

Where's source of rumor?

Don't recall I was flipping through various sites and this was one that was mentioned that stuck out. I think it was based more from the Dallas perspective.

Yes, I'm not sure of a Knick fan who wouldn't. Chalmers kind of duplicates Galloway's role but that is a minimal issue since he's an expiring and Birdman would fill that back up center spot the Knicks have been looking for just fine.

Although if you don't bring the sauce you don't get the meat up. :lol:

That would be cool. Birdman is still better than the B quality centers we've been yapping about, and Chalmers D equals out what Calderon's O is going to provide. Plus we get the bonus of making more Felton jokes knowing he's on the HEAT. Win Win situation!

Hell yeah I'd do that Chalmers/Birdman for Jose deal. But Riley may try to get more than just Jose's contract and a 2nd

I would both those guys help us be competitive this year and again improve our D.

Where are you hearing/seeing this rumor?

Wonder what Heats end game is in dumping 2 expiring deals.

I think that rumour might be old news though as Miami were trying desperately to reduce their number of players and accomplished it eventually by cutting Skywalker and trading away Zoran-Napier
