I guess it does help to explain Grunwald hiding if it blew up his S&T. He doesn't have to go to the trouble of signing Bibby if he just matches or declines the offer sheet. Seems dumb to go out and sign a player and then immediately trade him b/c you want to revel in 3 days of spite

And which of those three has a ring? Or even a Finals appearance?

Exactly. You can't beat Finals experience.

Rings
Eddy Curry: 1
Kevin Durant:

So let me see if I understand this...

- Rockets offer ridiculous contract to Lin.
- Knicks probably won't match.
- Knicks replace Lin with Felton (lol)
- Lin signing takes Rockets out of contention for Howard.

Do I have this right? And if so... What the fuck?

It doesn't take them out, it just limits how much room they have to take back more bad Orlando contracts along with Howard, which is something that enticed the Magic. Asik signing as well would fuck this up even more (not to mention he plays C, so if the Rockets landed Dwight they'd be paying $8 million a year for his backup)

Bynum is going to go full retard if he lands in Cleveland

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I just realized half that Knick roster can be played on Sega Genesis.

 

[ph33nix]

they got banks in cleveland though

 

[Ninja Scooter]

they got banks in cleveland though

and handicap parking spots.

If Cleveland is more attractive than Orlando for Bynum, I think I might be done with this league.

Cleveland has a potential superstar.

uh...

Nothing to these trade rumors involving #Cavs, Lakers and Magic, league source confirms. No merit to them at all.

There will be plenty of empty parking spots!

tell us how you really feel melo

 

[darkside31337]

That Melo quote really is gold though.

Dude can't pass up taking a shot even when hes off the court.

 

[Red Blaster]

Just cause he's Asian means he's not entitled to a ridiculous contract?

racist

Knicks are back baby!!

Cleveland has a potential superstar.

I'd be surprised if Irving sticks around by then.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I don't know why we're yelling.

 

[charsace]

Yes Melo! You sandbagged under 'Antoni to get him fired, now you attack a player that can help us.

Woodson and Melo don't want Lin back. They gonna screw the team.

I asked Melo if ‪#Knicks‬ would be OK at PG with J-Kidd & Felton: "I mean, what other point guards are we going to get at this point?"

Get the feeling that Melo doesn't want Lin back. Just a hunch.

The NBA gods are great this Sunday. Praise the lawd.

Look at that Orlando roster... and add in the fact that Orlando has made so many dumb personnel moves over the years (where do I begin), and I can easily see why someone would prefer Cleveland. Kyrie + Bynum is a pretty good base to build on, and they have cap room.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

lol @ Knicks, as if Lin possibly leaving wasn't enough of a problem.

EDIT: Oh snap at the Melo comment.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

 

[Cipherr]

I lol'd. Its hard for me to imagine Lin not landing in NY next season. Crazy...

You crazy, he can't do that no more. His son would Honda headbutt super his ass into blivion.

Uh the people in charge of the old Orlando regime have all been thrown to the curb

besides the Cavs took a guy who never started a game in college and needs per 40 stats to look good with the 4th pick in this draft

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeckNYT
Brief explainer: NBPA wants RFAs to have leverage. So union bargained for those "poison pill" deals and all the rules that go with them.

So they bargained to open up another avenue that would increase the prevalence of shit that got them in the lockout in the first place?

Sounds good! AT LEAST WE GETTIN' PAID!

lol gotta say I'm enjoying the Knicks' troubles. Hiding like little b/c they were mad the Rockets up their offer on Lin. Within 24 hours a DUI and a Melo being Melo

Uh I know there were changes. Doesn't change the fact that the franchise has made many idiotic moves. Will it get better? Worse? Who knows, but having that shitty roster and a history of mismanagement is not exactly encouraging for a FA.

 

[soundscream]

I want my Gallo/Mozgod back

 

[commish]

I thought Lin was a lock to come back, partly because of how he played but mostly because how big a marketing impact he had. In a strange way, though, it's encouraging to see the Knicks take the cheaper option.

 

[charsace]

So what do you guys think The Kings will get when they trade Jimmer this season? The guy's confidence is completely shot at this point.
