why the fuck do we have like half dozen small forwards on the roster? Masai mustve thought to himself, goddamn, Ima earn my cheques this summer.
Kleiza
Anderson
Gay
Pietrus
Novak
Fields

Scrubtastic. And Im not sold on Gay either, not convinced that dude is interested in anything more than gettin his stats.

Because prior to Gay we had shit for talent at the position? Hence the Kleiza/Fields/Peaches signings. (bascailly, Colangelo is an idiot)

Also, AA is a 2 and Novak is basically replacing Bargnani as the stretch 4 off the bench.

Luckily, Kleiza is probably getting amnestied, AA/Peaches aren't coming back and maybe Ujiri can work his magic with Fields and his awful contract. So really, we only have Gay/Fields.

On Gay, he's definitely overpaid and really has to work on his turnovers/efficiency, but he's still a good two-way player and of the top SFs in the league, Which is still pretty valuable when it's one of the most shallow positions in the league. Wouldn't hesitate to deal him, but then we'd have a hole at the position again.

 

[Kave_Man]

And the Jets. I'm a fan of all three

Thats cute.

 

[Matrix]

Agree with you, but we got rid of Patterson and I enjoyed watching Patterson play for the Rockets, so just the fact that the player we traded Patterson for is getting traded already is pretty upsetting

Patterson basically became a 3 pt shooting PF on the Rockets. His game was not seeing any improvement besides outside shooting. He can't rebound for a PF, he doesn't block shots, his D is average. I liked him too , but Morey is looking and always has been at the bigger picture and that's to get a player like Howard.

Patterson would be traded today if we still had him.

So Asik is gone if Dwight joins the Rockets?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So Asik is gone if Dwight joins the Rockets?

there's no point in having a back up taking up that much cap. They can probably get something decent for him in return.

This sounds crazy, but I wonder if Miami would do some package of Asik for Bosh.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Monta Ellis or JR Smith?

I don't see the two playing on the same team. I'd rather have Ellis, personally. So if JR bolts and we sign Ellis instead, I'm fine with that.

But not both. That's like forcing the same sides of a magnet together.

 

[Matrix]

So Asik is gone if Dwight joins the Rockets?

I'd say it's 99% sure he's gone, unless Howard was like I want to play with Asik which lol I highly doubt.

I really like Asik. Fucking steal we took from the Bulls and made me eat my words badly last season.

 

[SephCast]

Trade him back to the Bulls! PLEASE!??!!??

 

[Pimpwerx]

This sounds crazy, but I wonder if Miami would do some package of Asik for Bosh.

No way. Asik would obliterate our spacing and has an offensive game closer to Joel than Birdman. Houston would have to give us all the picks if that was to happen. PEACE.

Monta can't shoot threes though and that was the entire Knicks offense last year.

I have a feeling m-god is cleaning house. Get that whole colangelo taint off the entire franchise, re-name the team and re-brand around Wiggins.

 

[alr1ght]

Mark Cuban. Keep losing.

Hopefully DH decides quickly so we don't have to listen to his shit for an entire summer.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I heard they are changing the offense around,not entirely though. They have to.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Ok, this is borderline blasphemous.

Peja's number? Seriously?

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Trade him back to the Bulls! PLEASE!??!!??

Boozer/Gibson for Asik/Lin
Noah for Aldridge

Asik
Aldridge
Deng
Lin
Rose

Spoiler

not serious

 

[Tom Penny]

Why not keep Asik and form a more skilled version of the twin towers.

 

[Flash]

love how OKC potentially created another powerhouse in the west by trading Harden to Houston.

Last summer they looked destined for mediocrity, overpaying Lin and Asik while getting rid of Lowry and Dragic.

 

[Matrix]

I totally agree. Fuck da Dream and Sampson. Overrated scrubs

 

[KingGondo]

Cowboys fans were pissed when Dez Bryant chose Michael Irvin's number too, but it worked out OK for them.

It also kinda helped that Parsons became one hell of a player himself. Do love me some OKC though.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Laker Age, can you please hold me.

I have always been of the thought that cool if he stays, fine if he goes. I'm so what ever on him.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Plaschke having a suprisingly meh reaction on Dwight leaving. Actually says we might be better off and advocating a tank. DO IT MITCH!

 

[KingGondo]

For all those mad at OKC for trading Harden to Houston, you can mainly blame the Wiz, Raps and Warriors for not wanting to give up Beal, Valanciunas, or Klay Thompson for one of the 10 best players in the league.

I really do think Presti took the best offer he got (bad as it seems). At least we got a Dwight-stopper in Steven Adams with the Raps pick...

...

:'(

 

[jbug617]

Clippers talking to OJ Mayo. Doc was close to bringing him to Boston last year.

 

[diehard]

If it makes you feel better we can go over what the Jazz got for Deron..

oh that probably wouldn't make you feel better.

 

[shira]

Ok, this is borderline blasphemous.



Peja's number? Seriously?

I thought you meant the "I made it" part. He's going to have fun trying to steal the ball from reke

Or we can blame Presti and OKC management for giving Harden's money to Ibaka and Perkins.

Nah, we can blame Presti for being an idiot. Or being told not to spend for a chip. Either way OKC fans should be worried.

Tank tank tank!

Already planning for the 2014 offseason.

I have no idea who those players are, but yeah #YNOT!


So two confirmed targets for us this free agency: Andrea Iguodala and Greg Oden

-______________-

I'd be way happier if we could land Dorell Wright.

 

[reilo]

Brooklyn won't improve by at least a few wins over their 49-win season last year by replacing a terrible Gerald Wallace with KG and Pierce?

Okay.

5th seed here you come, Brooklyn! Knicks got that Top 3 seed locked up. Bargnani is the truth.

 

[jbug617]

Tank tank tank!

Already planning for the 2014 offseason.

Imagine if the Celtics and Lakers get 1 and 2 next year.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Wally Szczerbiak ‏@wallyball 41m
Great trade by #Knicks!! Andrea Bargnani is a 7 foot #flamethrower ������.

Yeah. PP and KG as potentially 4th or 5th options on that team is kinda scary. I still think it all hinges on Deron though. His playmaking has looked kinda suspect in Brooklyn. PEACE.

 

[Smokey]

Morey bro. Nobody is safe except Harden.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Did we talk about how like 10 teams want to sign Greg Oden? Because like 10 teams want to sign Greg Oden.

 

[cashman]

They always try to give 88 to somebody who they think will be special

 

[linsivvi]

Oh, Lin is safe.

Even the Knicks won't take him back.

 

[shira]

I really do think Presti took the best offer he got (bad as it seems). At least we got a Dwight-stopper in Steven Adams with the Raps pick...

Are there any Dwights in the D-League. Cause he ain't stopping Howard.

 

[theignoramus]

one of the worst trades of the last few years.

 

[exarkun]

Wow Lakers really whoring out the entire organization with this #Stay shit? I wonder if the Rockets will do that when Jeremy decides he wants to leave for greener pastures.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Imagine if the Celtics and Lakers get 1 and 2 next year.

No thanks, I'd rather imagine something Else.

Spoiler

if anything would convince the league to get rid o the lottery, that would be it

 

[Smokey]

Oh, Lin is safe.

Even the Knicks won't take him back.

Joe Johnson was traded. Bargs was just traded. Somebody will take him and want dat Asian money. If anybody can swindle it's morey.

 

[reilo]

Yeah. PP and KG as potentially 4th or 5th options on that team is kinda scary. I still think it all hinges on Deron though. His playmaking has looked kinda suspect in Brooklyn. PEACE.

He was being fuckballed by Avery Johnson. Kidd might be a first year coach, but if anyone has the chops to make it as a good coach in this league, it's him.

Deron's numbers post-AJ: 20/7.7/46/41.6/88.3

And he had a dead Gerald Wallace spacing the floor for him in the corner shooting an abysmal 28% from three and Marshon Brooks shooting 27% from three. Those two are getting replaced by Paul Pierce and Kyle Korver.

Then add in the fact that KG is a god-tier defender for a bigman and he's replacing Kris Humphries and they get to keep Reggie Evans? Come the fuck on. Injuries will be the only thing holding the Nets back.

Knicks-age is salty.

 

[Tom Penny]

The key for the Nets is they have to cut KG and Pierce minutes to 30 below especially Pierce. Doc had KG on a specific plan but he ran Pierce into the ground. Every year he'd say I need to cut Paul's minutes and never did.

 

[KingGondo]

Or we can blame Presti and OKC management for giving Harden's money to Ibaka and Perkins.

Nah, we can blame Presti for being an idiot. Or being told not to spend for a chip. Either way OKC fans should be worried.

You guys are acting like we weren't the 1 seed last year without Harden and wouldn't have made the WCF (at least) if Westbrook didn't go down.

We're still a contender with flexibility and youth far into the future. Now we just need to get rid of Scott Brooks.

And I definitely should take the opportunity to thank Knicks fans for giving me hope by acquiring Garbagnani. If that contract can be offloaded, surely Perk's can too.

 

[reilo]

I'd hope Kidd of all people, will know how important it is to monitor minutes for an aging player. I think the Nets are deep enough that they can keep PP and KG to 30-35.

why would anyone be salty, old men will lose to the heat and others teams.

 

[Nori Chan]

The lakers are interested in Byron Mullens.

God kobe is just going to destroy that anus after Byron takes all if his shots.
