i actually agree with this...

IDK I just have a feeling Stat isnt going to want to be here either. Which I understand he is under contract but who wants some one on your team that is just riding it out till they can leave.

More importantly we aren't gutting our squad too much.

Thanks man

As for GS, hey they said they wanted a big (Kaman)... plus Rondo is a great PG (a triple double machine with great defense, and in my opinion he's better than Curry)... yeah they get rid of both Curry and Ellis... but they also have that Thompson guy on the bench who is really good at SG, and he needs to start for them soon imo... and a Kaman/Lee front-court could do some damage... also Kaman is a 14mil expiring (not too shaby for the offseason/FA )

Speaking as a Warriors fan, these deals likely don't cut it. Kaman's not the answer since he's getting up in years and is a UFA at seasons end. Not giving Ellis up for a potential rental. The Rondo rumors are interesting but GS turned it down already. Last thing a rookie coach needs is a guy with an attitude problem. Still think you guys need to focus on the Bucks (Bogut) or Wiz (McGee)

Chandler Melo is a good offer. However Amare/Chandler is the worst offer out of all of them.

Did I miss something? Did Dwight add the Knicks to his list of teams he'd sign an extension with or would they just rent him this season and roll the dice in the summer? Could someone offer the details of the NYK offer?

Amare has declined steadily, is on one of the worst if not the worst contract in the league and has sucked playing next to Chandler. Hes also 29 years old.

Did they say something about a Knicks offer on that radio show? Like which players could be involved in that offer?

Couldn't hear it cause I live outside the US ..

If the Knicks offered us Melo/Chandler/1st rounder pick for Howard, I would take that, then turn around and try to get Ellis. Ellis/Melo/Chandler on the same team would be something to watch for sure.

Also no way we take Amare back. His contract sucks and so does he.

Too bad he wasn't a former Warrior....
Sounds like just the kinda guy Otis would wanna get! :lol:

Knicks wont offer Melo & Chandler.... The offer has been/will always be Amare/Chandler...

If we don't like it, we can go get Lopez or Bynum. :cry:

No Amare/Chandler

If we can get Ellis with the guys not named Howard, you do that before trading Dwight for Melo/Chandler/1st

I just missed Mike Bianchi talking on Mike and Mike right now on ESPN... he just got off the phone with them.

Now Mike and Mike are talking about the Dwight situation.

Btw Shaq will be on First Take coming up next at 10am.

I refuse to listen to anything Bianchi says. His voice alone hurts my head.

Shaq is a weird guy to argue with, he expects every big to drop 30 & 15 and he's a huge hater, but the dude dropped those numbers on the best big men to ever play while winning championship after championship after championship...

Nothing. Just Ellis & Nash. However, he did say "other pieces out there could keep Dwight here 1 more year".

What did the moron say?

jernigan · Post #939 » by **jernigan** » Fri Mar 2, 2012 2:44 pm

Take it for what it's worth, but I heard an UNCONFIRMED rumor that this is the deal the Magic are trying to get done.

Magic out:
J-Rich
Glen Davis
1st round pick

In exchange for:

Monta Ellis
Andres Biedrins

This seems way to good to be true, but thought I'd share to give some food for thought. If it actually happpens and we get to keep Ryno...

Nyce_1 · Post #940 » by **Nyce_1** » Fri Mar 2, 2012 2:46 pm

I HATE HATE HATE HATE Bianchi or Brian Shmitz representing our team to the national media.

DENTON should be our main guy.
