Draft picks cost money too. So does Favors (being a 3rd pick he'll cost a lot). So does Harris ($27 million over the next 3 years). So does Murphy (this season). So does actually fielding a team. Kroenke is cheap but he's not stupid enough to realize that you still need a team that can compete. And he'd be saving more money in the Knicks deal.



seriously what does chandler, gallo, fields do for you....they all get Deng Contracts and suddenly they arent really assests anymore...Rumors are they want to get rid of Nene and Harrington, so again what sense does paying Gallo, Chandler big money to not make the playoffs in the west...where do you go from there ????

4 picks and Favors gives you a few years of tradable assets, especially if you draft safe...|Letting Contracts expire and collecting Rookie deals is far more beneficial assets then paying a bunch of role players market value for what ???

If getting Melo means us giving up the 5 players mentioned AND a pick, you know what..I dont want Melo. Melo can go anywhere he wants. I'd rather develop a team. We can go after other FA later on. We'll be okay.

If Melo goes to the Nets, he can enjoy his long summers cause he wont be playing much once hte regular season is done with.

Denver hates the knicks. We all know this. It all starts from the brawl and Isiah Thomas and George Karl days...even before Isiah became a coach. Karl was very critical of Isiah for firing Larry Brown. bla bla bla

Denver would rather trade melo to a bag full of basketballs than to the Knicks. Let's be honest here.

let's just get through this season first. As long as our 3 balls are going in, we're always in the game no matter who we are playing. We cant do much defensively so we have to rely on our 3 balls heavily. In the offseason, we can look for rebounders and centers etc. and buil our team that way. Remember guys, this is the same team that went 13-1. They have the potential. Let's not panic.

Chandler, Gallinari, Fields, Mozgov, 1st round pick (for Mozgov), $20 million in savings...quite a lot?

And everyone eventually gets contracts. So what happens when Favors needs to get a contract? Harris is already got a contract doesn't he? And take a closer look at those "picks". It's basically one single pick that is of any sure value (the Nets own for this upcoming draft which has been widely acknowledged as the worst since 2000). Draft safe? Their GM would have problems climbing out of an open box, what are the chances he has any clue about drafting? And what are picks that could be 2nd rounders, that won't be around for some time, that may not produce going to do to get butts into the seats which...at the end of the day...IS what it's all about. Kroenke knows that cause he's owns 2 other teams.

What's he saying?



The usual "you cant win a chip without good Defense" speech that everyone is all ready aware of


He went into that but I was referring to his opening bit about how absurd the reports are that Melo is growing frustrated with the Knicks inability to acquire him.

I was thinking that very thing when Brutard first reported it. If it's true, then Melo lacks any sort of long term vision and is not the type of personality we need on this team. It also doesn't make sense. He expressed his desire to win a 'chip as well as his reluctance to stay in Denver if they decide to rebuild (which is what we'd be doing if we traded the house for Melo). So why would he be upset that we're not willing to send Denver everybody in exchange for him?

Now he's basically trying to calm Knick fans down if we don't get Melo by bringing up the real deficiencies with this team (e.g. rebounding and points allowed).

lol Favors doesnt need a contract, the picks arent contracts, and when they are they are rookie contracts, thats my whole point...those things are way more valuable assets going forward then Wil and Gallo..Field is a nice assest but whats he going to cost ? Moz who knows...


I guess if your a GM who wants to rebuild Traditionally over the next few years and save money while taking rookie deals and letting larger contracts expire, or use picks to rid them completely, then you do Favors and the Picks..

And if you want to rebuild your team around Gallo and Wil over the next 2 Years and tie up salary for next 5 years, and not make the playoffs, then our deal is better....

I dont think NJ is an option, but there deal isnt bad...both are downright outrageous...

I remember the time when i had a life, a life that didn't revolve around constant twitter updates from cucksocking knick hating journalists, endless RGM thread checks and a mind thats consumed by getting a player who resides in another conference and is being screwed by the Fawlty Towers of the NBA.

I remember those days, and oh how i long for them to return.

Yep. But IF Melo is willing to accept an extension with NJ it's worth it for them (Billups replaces Harris, they get to keep Lopez and none of those picks...nor Favors...would have the same impact in terms of making Prokhorov money than Melo). For the Knicks? Not really.

Woot woot wooooooooooooo

:rofl:

Check denver at .33 (ironically) sneaking some free feed.


If you are a meat eater Kane and want to try something new and healthy:

http://www.blackwing.com/product_view.php?id=116

I have some of these in my freezer. Its amazing. Swear to god it is practically like sushi tuna, I can defrost it in an hour and eat it raw and its delicious or fry it up quick in the pan with some sauteed onions. It has zero fat, never seen a leaner meat. I know I'm a funny SOB, but I ain't kidding about this. I don't joke about my meats.

You know something brother, ..... I have seen this before.

I am a meat eater. In fact, I joke. And call myself a meatetarian. Because my diet consists of mostly meats. And I dont really eat fruits and veggies. Unfortunately.

Most recently, I have taken more of a.....concern in health and diet. Im not a youngster as you know. And while im not a fat sloppy man, im a big man. Naturally. Just my build. Thick heavy frame. They say my ideal weight is 175. Bull. I was 180 freshman year in high school. And was skin and bones. That was **** YEARS ago bro. LOL.

So,.. now, I want to get more onto my health. Because I never cared about that. I just developed into a big strong guy. Without worrying about it. But now im older so I want to take some steps. Because my moms had a heart attack many years ago. My pops was like me. Just naturally a big strong guy with little thought to diet and fitness. He's gone. For other reasons.

Anyway im getting to personal for the board. But yeah, I have seen and heard about this meat. Not really a sea food fan, (as per your example). But im curious about it. So I think im going to try it out.

WOW. I just proof read this post. A whole lot of info. But screw it. Maybe someone out there has the same thoughts. Same feelings. I like to speak. Because my experience, your experience is knowledge. And we can all learn.

By the way. Go knicks. And speak up melo. :lol:


I like the veggies, but meats are easy and sometimes get in the way. I think the secret is oatmeal. Have a good big bowl of it in the morning with whatever makes it seem real tasty like nuts and fruits and I add nutmeg. Then whatever you need to do the rest of the day is easy. Meat once at dinner or lunch, but you won't need as much. Thing about ostrich is its pure. You assimilate more protein that way. Body only assimilates a minority of most meats consumed and discharges the rest as nitrogen waste, something you can minimize with purer stuff. I eat it raw like sushi (thanks Neneh Cherry) and that probably assimilates even better. I feel nourished eating it raw. I would not eat raw meat from other sources though. Not safe. 4-6 ounces of ostrich will satisfy your primal bloodlust just fine. It is the reddest meat I've ever seen. Definitely not like chicken. I like it. The best cuts are not really cheap per pound, but the ground meat is pretty pure too, unlike ground beef. The point? Eat pure untainted, non-mass produced meat of high quality in smaller quantities and you get what you need and eat some veggies and you're good to go.

P.S. Blackwing delivers it on dry ice. Arrives frozen. Spending $200 on meat on the internet might feel like a luxury, but you'd be surprised at how far it goes and how economical it becomes if it changes your habits a bit. You can spend $150 at the supermarket now and take home lots of crap. And there's a limit to how many questionable roast chickens from the supermarket you want to wolf down. Gets tired after a while.
