The most hilarious thing to happen in the last 30 minutes was Wojina's tweet about the Mavs... like the guy trying to convince himself that the deal is not an inevitability.

No question. The basketball IQ of the team would go up a ton.

James Dolan was the only Knicks official to meet with Carmelo Anthony on Thursday in LA. This is now his deal to make.


Our Owner is a moron thinking he knows more than Walsh

Billups is a marginally better distributor than Felton. I'm not really seeing this as an upgrade outside of shooting.

#Nuggets have given indications they want resolution by Sunday, sources say. So does Melo. So does humanity.

Billups also shoots 3s at a 44% clip. But I still like Felton way way more. Felton has all-star games ahead of him. Billups only behind him.


But wish you gotta admit A Billups and Amar'e P&R in the half court set is going to be nice.


Eh... If we can convince Phoenix (savings) to take on Billups for Mr PNR himself then I'll be truly satisfied. 8-)
Play time is over.

More vilification of Dolan. Dolan writes big checks, never gets cheap, and wants the team to win. Yes his judgment with Isiah was bad and seems to still be bad. But I find Dolan to be perfectly acceptable actually.

He loses money on the Knicks but just wants to win -- that's the foundation of a good owner.

And does he meddle into Donnie's decisions? Not really. Well maybe today lol. But not often.

I think he's fine. He was conned by Isiah and that was a mistake. But he was more a victim than anything.

The shooting upgrade is a pretty big upgrade. And he gets to the line more where he is pretty automatic.

Dammit Walsh...Go buy some 1st rounders since Denver overvalues crappy picks. Trade Douglas for a late 1st.

3 1st rounders, felton, chandler, Curry for melo and Billups would get it done.


Sounds like Dolan, not Walsh calling the shots.

No way.... He throws a softer more manageable pass.

you guys (minus a select sane few) are legitimately crazy, what is this overwhelming feeling of completion. There has been NO indication that this thing is even close to done, what is going on. Has this board finally and understandably so lost their minds with all the stuff weve been through in the last 7 months or so. It would be reasonable, but has it happened?

i like that dolan is involved, but leave all the negotiations to walsh. i feel like we're giving up too much, but this move is necessary. we can find replacements.

I know Melo wants his money but wow bro! You basically made us trade 2 important players for you that could have been used to build AROUND you!
He played it all wrong. Should have stuck to his guns and signed with us in the off-season. The new CBA got him shook
