During the Rockets series, Jordan made Dwight Howard looks like a boy. Just seemed to overpower him at times.

Eh. I disagree. I feel like he'll have made up his mind already.

If the Lakers are truely looking to dump salary for DJ AND LMA, then I'd take any bad contracts + Randle to help them out :).
We don't have a pick next year, so if we grab Randle and help them clear space, then I'd probably pull the trigger, plug the holes with non-max players and wait for Durant next season.

Narrative in 2010:
"How can anyone deny Riley when he puts his rings on the table?!? HIS RINGS!!"

Narrative in 2015:
"Knicks' best shot is Afflalo. Phil won't be able to bring anyone in."

I saw the following article and I am wondering who of all this players represent a good buy for our money based on the salaries quoted:

Patrick Beverly (annual salary starting at $8 million), Al-Farouq Aminu ($4 million), and Greg Monroe ($15.7 million)

Danny Green (annual salary starting 12 million), Robin Lopez (12 million) and Kyle O’Quinn ($4 million)

Tobias Harris ($14 million), Jared Dudley ($5 million), Marco Belinelli ($4.5 million) and Bismack Biyombo ($4 million)

DeAndre Jordan ($18.9 million), Mirza Teletovic ($3.5 million), Cory Joseph ($3 million), Tyler Hansbrough ($3 million)

David West ($9 million), Kosta Koufos ($9.5 million), Ed Davis ($5.5 million) and J.J. Barea ($4 million)

Wes Matthews ($13 million), Omer Asik ($11 million) and Gary Neal ($3 million)
Robin Lopez ($12 million), Patrick Beverly ($8 million), Al-Farouq Aminu ($4.5 million) and Chris Copeland ($3 million)

DeMarre Carroll ($15.7 million) and Greg Monroe ($15.7)

Jae Crowder ($9 million), Brandan Wright ($7 million), Iman Shumpert ($7 million), Rodney Stuckey ($5 million)

Rajon Rondo ($8.5 million), Jordan Hill ($7 million), Amir Johnson ($6.5 million) and Corey Brewer ($5.5 million)


"The Knicks are projected to have approximately $28 million in cap space (which they could increase to upwards of $31 million if they decide to waive Jose Calderon via the stretch provision)."

^ BTW I think a MAX offer for Kris Middleton should be included above since DeMarre Carrol is quoted at 15.7mm and KM is younger.

What's crazy about that list is that without Middleton on it, Monroe is the only player that approaches being a #2 option.

As usual, contracts are going to be way higher than usual. Any one see the actual deal supposedly signed by Aminu in Portland?

Two problems.

1. You're a fan of an organization that is interested in having a competitive team. That isn't changing.

2.) There is no sure way to "build" for a championship. If it was that easy, everyone would do it.

What is the definition of that anyway? Sign the players that *I* like. Draft the players that *I* like?


no....

not mortgage the future for the sake of being competitive immediatley

Bjelica of fenerbahce just activated his NBA release clause and opted out. he is now free to join the NBA, Minesota has his rights, but his name has popped up in a few articles to be on the knicks' radar.

Could there be a possible trade between knicks & wolves? How much would he cost ?

I'd like to get Tobias Harris. He's young, still improving, and I think he'll be a beast in the future.
