More absurd? So you're saying that Dwight, Paul, Dirk are closer to Fizer, Olowokandi, and Kwame than Bryant, Wade, LBJ? I know that you don't watch basketball, but wow... You are way, way off base.

You just compared Michael Olowokandi, Marcus Fizer, and Kwame Brown to Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, and Dwight Howard. My sweet Jesus you are an ignorant sack of idiocy.

This was soo homo. You are a total flamer homo. Needs less gay. Total fruit.

And 1 legend

That's fine, the fact of the matter is that Dolan hasn't cut ties completely with Isiah Thomas and that in itself is an outrage. The man has absolutely no sense for the business, and will allow him to waltz right back into the situation we were in a few years ago.

That's why I made this one. Just going to post all Knicks related updates in here, changing the thread title with the breaking angle at the moment.

Proky says yes. This is why I've said all along to offer Chandler, Curry, 1st, or kick rocks. We are getting played, and it's all thanks to Dolan and Isiah. Walsh had this one under control from the start. You can see why we just completed a decade of incompetence, and are headed for another the way things are going. http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/nets/nets_owner_says_meeting_with_anthony_5mT1wDWB1bHuW4YE8buebM

I chose Deron, because he is, imo, more apt to move the ball. Paul seems too ball dominant, and mixed with Melo, that's not a great thing.

Gotcha, thanks. Definitely not desperate enough to settle for MLE for three seasons, no... Haha. Would seemingly have to be some sort of sign and trade scenario, if anything at all.

If they came back and said throw in Gallo and he's yours... I probably would. But I wouldn't do a Felton/Billups swap. I'd make my line in the sand what I said, though, and not what has already been offered. If Carmelo truly won't go to New Jersey, and he very much wants to be in New York, he'll do what it takes to get here. He'll walk in FA into our facility and we'll be contenders. If we trade the proposed package right now for him, it'll be another bunch of work to get to a serious contention level, and with Isiah peeking around already... Could end in disaster.

It's a soft cap because you're allowed to make trades to go over, use a MLE to go over, etc etc. With a hard cap, you wouldn't be able to go over for any reason whatsoever.

Is there any way he'd be able to sign for the MLE and then get a max the next season via Bird Rights? (I have no idea about contractual stuff like this)

Too much already in my homer view. Offer them Chandler, Curry, 1st and tell them to take it or kick rocks. Take a gamble that he's there in the offseason. Too in love with this group of kids.

lol I get grief for the Yankees/Knicks/Giants/Rangers in Philly too, I'm used to it I never watched college bball growing up, nobody in my house really paid attention to it. I was flipping one day and Illinois was playing on national TV, so I kept it on... Watched Corey Bradford go nuts with like 8 three pointers, and just like that I was a huge fan. I was probably 12 or 13, and the dude set the national record for 3's made in consecutive games in his senior year, though Reddick eventually broke it. Can't tell you, living in Jersey, how much grief I got for being a 'bandwagon fan' the year they went to the NCAA finals against UNC. Dee Brown, Deron, Augestine, Luther Head, Roger Powell, Nick Smith (the bird!)... Kids were so nasty. I was heartbroken when they lost

As a longtime Illini fan, this would make me

I turned on Smackdown for like 5 minutes last night and saw Edge got fired by some Mexican woman. What happened?

Also, you made a mistake in the title... "Isiah Thomas ruining Knicks again" would be correct.

It's because James Dolan is the Antichrist, I am positive of it. http://video.yahoo.com/watch/120337/635749

Dwight Howardz*

lulz lulz too funny lulz -_-

Can't want Carmelo that badly. Have to call their bluff or take another direction, I'm 100% against blowing up our entire roster for Melo.
