Agreed...

Our problem is a point guard right now...No need to panic..Let see if BD has anything left in the tank...Bringing back Felton next year is a must...

No thanks.

Fields
TD

Jorts

only person majority of people want to keep hear is Jorts but seriously
no one cares for Fields since he is a UFA this summer and TD play has been horrendous

Its not a great trade for Boston either, but in the right scenario, depending on how they continue to play, is something they should consider
It allows them to have

Rhondo
Pierce
Fields
Amare
Bass

Dooling
Marq Daniels
TD
Jorts
JO
STYMSMA

while Pierce can be amnestied and they can sign FAs in the summer.
Question is would they be better off keeping KG and Allan and possibly leting them walk or resigned for another 2 year deal.
They might be past their prime but they are still top players in their position

Did you not see how Amare has been making our opponents look like All Stars?
Name me players that are better than KG at the PF
Name me players that are better than Ray Allan at the SG, besides Wade, Lebron, and the no brainers that no one would trade..

We are made to win now mode and its a chance to lose Amare's uninsured contract that many of us would be complaining about if he ever went down in the next 2-3 years.

No thanks.

its a message board and I expect controversy...
We all have different opinions and ideas for the benefit of the Knicks
Since last year, starting with the Heat forming superstars of trios, we will continue to see "all star" talents forming.
I want to make a defensive team that is capable of defending these super teams and prevent more of these trios from forming...
Did we all forget how Amare made our opposing PF's look like all stars during this stretch?
Tyson Chandler needs a sidekick to defend with him.
Amare isn't that type of player and that is what it comes down to, with ATM eating up the all of our cap, something has to give...

It's not a horrible move that Chuck and Oasis appear to believe is.

Unless Iman was thrown in the trade, I can see why anyone would disapprove of the deal.
Boston can have a salary of under 20million if they amnesty Pierce.
They are probably better off not trading for Amare and try to resigning KG and Allen to 2 year deals

Allen 8m range per year
KG 10m range per year

It would be scary if they add Dwight Howard and subtract Pierce
Depending on how much KG and Ray Allen would cost, they can probably sign another player to go with them as well

Rhondo
Ray Allen
SF
KG
Dwight

If we do trade for KG and Ray Allen we would have their bird rights, that teams might even give back assets to us for...
We can go after Deron or Dwight Howard possible, making us a more balanced team.
I would appreciate some more positiveness from the proposal instead of replying to me like I am retarded...

This. There is a lot of stuff that gets thrown out here that amazes me but the lack of respect for Stat is unbelievable.

After the Melo trade, do you really believe how we screwed Felton shows the loyalty we have for our players.
Amare wanted a max deal and he got it, its business...

Spencer Hawes was a player that I thought we could use to play PF/C, but the way he is playing this year, it doesn't look like MLE is going to cut it...

Tyson Chandler
KG
Iman

I think that is a pretty sick defensive nightmare, that are all on the same page about the game.
They all bring that intensity and pride, I have missed the Knicks lacking since the Ewing era...

Camby could be brought back as the bench as well.
If Baron Davis comes back and plays well....
Anyone know if we can use the 2.5m exemption to keep Baron Davis for an additional year, and giving him a little extra bonus if we cant sign anyone worthy?
