I hope they don't get Howard. We will be in trouble and they may not get New York Knicks fans ahhh not all of them anyway. I beleive there will be a lot of fans that will give up on the Knicks and root for the Nets and even go to some games. They won't quit being Knicks fans but they just won't follow thier games and won't go pay to see Melo hog the ball and Amare missing shots and having the ball slapped out of the butter finger hands. Please excuse Papabear but I thought we was going to upgrade a little bit but it don't look good. I still love the Knicks but Dolan don't really care about a fan like me.

The word "stars" belongs in quotes when describing Melo and Amare.

Gimme a break.

Lakes could do a one for one....Bynum for Dwight straight up.

True..Depends on where the Magic want to go from here...Bynum for DHow doesnt make them as competitive, so they will be shelling out lots of dough for a team that barely playoff worthy, u know, like the Knicks...

Gerald Wallace 10 million , Brook Lopez 12 Million, Humphries 8 million , Brooks 1 million

31 Million

Howard 19.54 million Turkoglu 11.82 million

31 million

The whole point of trading Hedo is they get the last two years of his terrible contract of the books; Gerald Wallace has a terrible four year contract, why would Orland do that? Also, paying Brook Lopez $12M/year is awful.

Why are Lopez and Humphries helping the Nets get Howard. They should be out there trying to get contracts. If they sign an offer sheet the Nets are stuck. Humphries and Howard have the same agent.i think Humphries hasnt done anything because of that. Its within the rules tampering

Its the second year Humphries hasn't garnered interest and it shocks me. He is a great rebounder and his game is underrated. I wish the Knicks could get him. I don't get the lack of interest. He would be a great fit for almost any team. He singlehandedly (maybe Shelden Williams helped a little) manhandled the Knicks front line during Lin's second game against the Nets when DWill went off.

he has found a nice role- kardashian aside - I would take him to help our front court.

Maybe he could even help Amar'e become a better rebounder. Like, when Woodson's playing Humpries in the 4th and Amar'e is sitting, he'd get motivated to learn how to go after rebounds!
