BREAKING **** NEWS: Deal #done Knicks acquire Bargnani

[god shammgod]

I'll wait to endorse the trade when I see it. But the player that Bargs is, as a second option, I endorse if healthy ... Much better than JR if he's right.

this has nothing to do with jr though

With Amare and Bargani we should have 41 games with a healthy PF between the two if them.

If anything, we should be getting picks from TOR for eating Bargs contract.

They're eating the extra year in Novak's deal though. That $3.75 million salary was likely going to be harder to move any later than this summer. Considering how much of a capologist and CBA expert Grunnie is, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he thought long and hard before making this move.

This trade may either turn out to be his biggest flop or among his best moves to date.

Would you guys like the trade if it involves Lowry?

i would LOVE Lowry to come to the knicks

toronto is not using him right and just wasting his talents

FML it looks to be true.

[BeemerFrenzy]

RealGM Knicks board is soooo dumb... You rather have Novak and Camby playing in your rotation than Bargnani?

Who cares about draft picks that range between 25-30. Did all the picks we picked over the few years pan out? Come on chill...

Knicks gonna pay $62,997,490 for Amar'e, Melo, Chandler and Bargnani. Take that, Miami

i may have sneezed out my beer from laughing/crying about this statement

And the salary cap is only $58.5M

[god shammgod]

i'm gonna need a moment on this one

[NoLayupRule]

just to inject a tad of non-panic conversation:

Bargs is a very very good three point shooting big
Bargs is an ok rebounder and shot blocker when in position
Bargs isnt a bad passer
Bargs isnt terrible making a shot fake and drive

I only inject these notes because hes done it to us as a craptor tons of times
perhaps he can be slightly more useful to us than Camby on the bench and Novak nowhere to be found


hell, his D and rebounding arent as bad as novak. thats something

[shmeakone]

2016?

Do we have a pick in 2015? Don't the Nuggets have the right to switch?

[BowlRips]

wow 2016 pick is not good
if so why didnt we trade for kg?

[Brooklyn_Yards]

I think it's the 2016 pick where Denver ha the right to swap.

[Hemispheres]

Isn't 2016 our rebuild year? How in the goddamn hell are we going to give up the pick?
