Stop worrying about my credibility - if you don't wanna believe me then don't fool. C's will acquire Lee and you'll have to eat your foot - watch. My source is legit it's just not really reliable because the guy just hits me with **** at random. Idk where he's getting info from. If yall arent interested in hearing about it (which most of you seem livid over) then I will just keep it to myself like I've done the last 3 years before discovering this forum.

K P 6 I will say this though.. You are strapped on and riding my d*ck like you are in a paid training program for inexperienced d*ck riders trying to get promoted.

You're strapped on my block list mf. Goodbye you are the weakest link lil boy.

i dont think the leverage is back to houston. The knicks can hold out and wait.

Rockets need melo, we dont need the rockets, at least not if it means taking abck ryan anderson, or however this guy's name is spelled. I think our FO is perfectly fine with 2 years of melo and just letting him go. Melo will expand his list of teams, if the situation is unbareable.but to be quite honest, I think its all nonsense. Melo wants to be with his family and his family will be on the east coast. i doubt all the talk about melo wanting houston NOW are true.

its all made up to leverage the deal in houstons favor. Morey has a history of ripping the knicks and i actually like the knicks pulling melo from talks. If houston wants to compete, melo is one of the few options they have. They will make it work, at the deadline.

we're getting a better package from the celts for lee than they would give up for paul george....and you'll like it.

we also got this info from a very busy sports talk show host, who is a native of ohio, and still finds the time to check up on the latest knicks rumors and pass this info along to a guy his daughter was once f*cking. what's the problem ?

And any media person that that has any inside info would be tweeting it as soon as they get it.

and might i add, to a guy who used to have sex with his daughter

Funny, the dads of daughters who guys had sex with but didn't want to marry -- those dads never liked those guys. Never. But maybe things work differently for some people?

i am guessing this trade to houston isn't going to happen because of morey and can't rip us off anymore and he knows it. I also have a hard time believing dantoni wants to coach melo again it didn't work the first time with him and he left because of it.

I just dont want every question at training camp to be about Melo when it should be about the team. I think this has to be resolved ASAP.

Ian Begley ESPN Staff Writer

Steve Mills says he and GM Scott Perry may make changes to the front office going forward: "We're going to rebuild what the front office of the Knicks looks like. I feel really good about a lot of the people we have working for us. But we also know there's room for us to grow and get better if we want to be a first-class organization," Mills said. "And Scott will have the freedom to sort of meet with everyone in our organization (and make changes) where he sees there's opportunities to bring new people into the organization. He has the flexibility to do that and we'll work as a tandem in making sure that we have a first class operation." Added Perry: "I'll be in a position to make strong suggestions to Steve that maybe we need to add some more to our group. The goal is we want to have first in class when it comes to our front office operational staff. That's our goal and we're going to go at this thing together."

NotPhilJackson, if you have a legitimate source, that's awesome. You can post whatever you want until your face turns blue, but until something that you say actually happens, there's no reason for anyone to believe you. No need to get angry because a poster quotes you and calls you out on it. You're on a forum...that stuff happens.

KP6, if you don't want to see his posts, ignore him. No need to quote everything he says.

Y'all need to calm down.

Hey, if revamping the Front Office and the Knicks doesn't work out, how about, "The Steve and Scott Show on BSPN?"

the bold is the bottom line...

Houston has an aging CP3 for one reason only. They are in WIN NOW mode. Available players like Melo at his salary don't grow on trees. The Rockets have NO SHOT at getting past the Warriors if they dont add Melo- period...

He doesnt. He just sends me info sometimes. He knows Im a fan. You realize these people have real lives too? I dated his daughter - and am a friend of their family. You all are like really hard headed, huh?

Reading just the first page I see now people are already angling towards Perry getting all the credit or blame for personnel moves and that's just the way Mills wants it even though Mills gets the final say on it... which means he gets to avoid the scrutiny for his meddling. The real test will be when they disagree on a player or action, does Perry have the freedom and autonomy to do what he wants or will Mills override him and force him to act on Mills opinion?

I doubt Perry has the autonomy to do what he wants if Mills disagrees and I won't believe he does have it until I see it.
