stop trying to pester Carl, fellas. Let this play out. If you don't have any patience, then this is the time to learn to get some.

We've waited 15+ years for some stability and quality basketball in NY... can't you want another couple of days?

Not sure why people think Bron would value Melo much more highly than Bosh.

Bron knows they're about the same age, and that Melo was on a bad team taking a lot of shots, staying in rhythm all the time. Add in that you have to openly dis a guy you won 2 titles with, and who has sacrificed his game, and pay BOTH Melo and Wade much less than they'd have to take with Bosh/Wade ... all for the Heat to get smaller upfront with less inside game ....

And I'll have to say I don't buy the Heat thing either.

The only thing that would make some sense to me, besides Melo waiting for attention/roster improvement/etc., is the Bulls but not at 15. With a S&T maybe. But it doesn't really make sense that Leon wouldn't already have gotten that going. Time's awasting and yet no media reports on Bulls-Knicks talks for S&T.

Then Knicks full press for Melo, Brom and Gasol.

If Bosh picks Hou then Knicks have no taker for Amar'e and probably no Barg trade either so also then possibility of Melo leaving goes up a little.

Where? Dunno....

The problem with this scenario is that Bosh might be waiting for LeBron to commit to MIA before he decides on HOU. And if LeBron says he's leaving MIA, then Bosh goes to HOU and Lin is traded to Philly, meaning the Knicks can't clear space for LeBron.

Bron gave Bosh his choice, take less(probably like $12mil starting) in Mia with me or go get yours, nothing has changed so Bosh needs to make his coice already.

Right, but my point is if Bosh chooses HOU, it could lead to Lin being shipped out to PHI, preventing us from moving STAT there, and thus preventing us from getting LeBron. If Bosh chooses the paycut in MIA, LeBron stays, and again it prevents us from getting LeBron.

This is all assuming, of course, that the scenario we are talking about is what is actually happening behind the scenes -- which probably isn't the case, anyway.

He can still produce music from Brazil. I'd rather he remove his music from Knicks broadcasts.

You mean Coach? thats a lot of words...Carl liked to keep it short and sweet....and the random words capitalized and putdowns seems a little suspicious....

Bottom line....Trust nobody. And this madness needs to end

EVERYONE is a suspect

Seriously though has anyone seen Pau play the last three years? Not a player to pin your hopes on he's been on the decline

Philly can take on both Lin and Amare, as mentioned. If they add Lin first, then the question is whether it is worth taking on Amare. The difference between the floor and the cap is about 6.5 million. The Knicks can give 3 million in a trade, and maybe even make up the other 3.5 million by taking back a contract such as J Rich (6.5 million himself). So the Sixers ownership could actually SAVE money by trading for Amare. They have to ask themselves whether it is worth the opportunity cost (whatever that might be).

You're right, it's possible. I just don't see them agreeing to take on both Lin and STAT, but yes it could happen.

Also, how much room are we left with if we're adding J-Rich's salary to the books?

Hes a steal though if you can net him in for MMLE. Great value.

What he's not saying is that he already wants to move to Brazil.
