I bet CP3 could do something with Indiana.

you guys fucked yourselves over with Amare's contract. hes not worth his cap eating contract and no one wants him in a trade. but you cant amnesty him right now either, hes not bad enough

look why bring this up besides for troll reasons. Also at least the Billups Amnesty got us Chandler. Knicks are winning mang
They can't amnesty amare cause they've already used their amnesty on billups.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
lol you are right..
Maybe if the salary cap is $100 million next year.

I think LeBron is too smart and big to decline that heavily when his athleticism starts to decline. Maybe his scoring will go down a bit if he has to devote more energy to defense to make up for being slower in the future, but I think he'll age well.
Maybe Durant or Harden or the Brow can beat him out in MVP voting in like five or six years though.

Ironically they would have had a better team with Billups/Melo/Chandler.

because your ceiling with the roster yall have now is taking Miami to 6 or 7 games in the ECF. and thats being optimistic as fuck.

I don't think a SF of his size has ever aged particularly well. The speed dropoff will be more than people think; Bron can't hold that weight in his mid 30s.
Lebron's one of a kind though, so you never know. My speculation is as baseless as anyone else's: we've never seen a player quite like him.

I mean sure why get a top five center when you can sit back and hope a star PG with bad knees leaves money on the table in LA to come and play in NY. You guys are criticizing NY for making the rational move instead of making the stereotypical Knicks move....
And Billups broke down 3 different times after that trade while he was in NY and last I checked was broke down a few more times since then.
also Deron Williams has such a douche smile

Doug Anderson needs to be stashed on some NBA bench just for the purposes of the dunk contest.

Diehard gon kill ya.
Now say CP3 was always better than Deron even during his utah years.
and also that stockton was overrated
the rational move was never making the mcgrady trade...
NY was doing a great job until they blew their load trying to land LBJ or Wade at the same time as Amare - uninsured.

Surprisingly good 3rd quarter for the Bulls. Let's keep this run up.

Stockton was a dirty player. Dwill definitely benefitted from having our lord and savior Carlos Boozer.

Why are you guys talking about Doug Anderson? I just googled him and it looks like he played for Detroit in college, but are they even still playing?
Zeus Molecules

yeah i agree but its not proving your point by going back to a bad trade to critique a later one. The Chandler/ Billups Amnesty was a good move.... in fact looking back that was the beginning of Knicks GM moves that in hindsight have mostly held up or at least havent hindered the Knicks.
Grunwald has really done a good job for the knicks so far.

I don't think I'll ever understand why Nowitzki has gotten so few touches this year, especially considering the shot-making ability or lack thereof by his teammates.
do you ever see me defending the joel anthony contract? a stupid decision is a stupid decision
this billups breaking down wouldn't matter since you would already have had cap space to do something but alas, your roster is now mostly not flexible and you're guaranteed to not go anywhere the next half decade because your management got too happy too fast
getting chandler is indeed a good move but wasting your amnesty on billups/not using it on amare is even more terrible

Streaky on offense but solid as hell on D. He keeps improving with confidence. He will start when Rip is laid to rest.

Defensively yes and in the paint yes. Shooting-wise? No. His jump shot is getting better, but it's still erratic.

Deron should be posting up Nate, big mismatch there. Boozer is feasting, Soulplaya would be proud.

Bulls are going to lose because half their team is injured and Nate, Kirk & Nazi have too many fouls.
As phee said, it wasn't that the knicks amnestied someone, it's that they amnestied the entirely wrong player.
And billups contract was up the year after.
Amnesty Amare, go 1 year with billups/melo/chandler
Have a ton of potential cap space with billups money off the books.

Nah, but I find it fun to like Boozer in an ironic way.

There was a dunk contest on ESPN.
All his dunks were ridiculous and he nailed them all on the first try with zero effort.

That was the last one.

dude except novak and felton no contract in guaranteed past 2015. Your mistaking the Nets for the Knicks when it comes to being stuck. They have JR's bird rights so they can keep him as long as some team doesn't give him 10 million a year on some stupidity. Also Camby's contract is trade bait since the years aren't fully guaranteed and we draft this year. I mean the knicks are good bruh.
also its easy to say amnesty Amare but that wasn't going to happen he was still averaging 18/8 at that point and year away from 24/8

The Bulls better hope that this doesn't go into OT. They might not have 5 available players in a few minutes.
they get paid in donuts and blow
giving amare an uninsured contract and amnestying billups made whatever move the knicks made the only one they'd ever get to make

Jimmy Butler is so awesome.
Nate Robinson being completely lazy and lost on that last rebounding sequence is pretty unacceptable though.
