Jon Dieblers a boss, his shot is amazing

However, just like soo many of these other one-dimensional players...everything else sucks

How can RealGM try to get #unfollowisola trending and then link to his twitter in the wiretap? Lol.

So then match Lin since its only a 3 year contract. Not like Dolan can't afford it.

Is Grunnie getting drunk on his acquisition skills?

He's made some incredible moves, but sometimes it's better to build on what you started...

Is the lux tax really that big of an issue?

Augustin received a 1 yr/3.5M deal with the Indiana Pacers. With moves like this, I continue to believe my theory that the NY Knicks will find it hard to win a championship with Dolan as owner...

DJ is a worse defender, and shooter. No thanks.

1st of all you blamed Lin for this which is downright idiotic.

2nd of all Grunwald is a mediocre GM and getting Felton over Lin proves that.

3rd of all Augustin is not worse than Felton.

How is it Grun's decision? If he could match, he would. Obviously Dolan doesn't feel like 45 million extra in luxury tax is worth it.

Lin is greedy for sure.

3rd: DJ is a worse shooter than Felton, and is a worse defender. I don't even like Felton, but acting like other trash is better is nonsense.

Vet min.

Maybe the Clippers would accept Felton for CP3 because his contract is cheap.

If Sterling is still taking basketball advice from the stripper, as reported a few months ago, you never know. *fingers crossed* :lol:

Yes, it does take two to tango in a sign & trade. However, I don't see why the Knicks couldn't have orchestrated a S&T for Augustin using Jared Jeffries and Dan Gadzuric as trade chips...D.J. Augustin is a far better player than Raymond Felton.

NY needs to keep all revenue avenues open, just on a business perspective I believe they keep lin

That's just wrong in so many ways.

Woodson is definitely getting the veteran team he's always wanted.

IMO, we're still matching Lin but it sucks to lose Jeffries. He was a glue guy like Chandler.

I think we could make the backcourt work minutes wise:

Kidd(16)/JR(26)/Ray(4)
Lin(26)/Ray(22)

Kurt is a PF and will be the backup PF.

I don't think he's played PF in a few years. But if he can still keep up with 4's then all the better.

Red Vines · Post #1099 » by **Red Vines** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 3:35 am

I think the only way we don't match is if Lin asks that we don't match. I'm sure we'll find out the real story after it all shakes out one way or another.
