we gave away two players who had no value and gained cap room so it wasnt bad

We took back those 3 players? Are they all expiring contracts or did we take back salary next year?

It's a C trade. Years past trades usually graded out an F.

I do know one thing though. OKC metrics guys suck and the Cavs pulled off a great deal.


It's a minor trade, but it's still great to get out of JR Smith's contract.

It's just odd that Clevland ships out the worse player and receive 2 better payers and a 1st. Their GM did a great job.

Sources say #Knicks are planning to waive 2 of the 3 players they acquire in the trade. Lance Thomas is most likely candidate to be kept.

As I said he's the best player in the trade[now]

But redundant to Quincy Acy

Can't disagree w/those who see Knicks tank job. But, 1. Lets see what else they do before deadline. 2. They were awful even w/these players

Awful for OKC? You think?....They didnt lose anything. Waiters can be a big time shooter off the bench...maybe walk right in and hold down the two spot if Westbrook gets hurt again.

Waiters just needs to realize (quick) that he is not an Alpha dog and play within the role he is given...

Strange trade for OKC--they must be ready to moving Lamb. He hasn't been playing and Im sure hes got league interest somewhere.

We have been awful since the 90's, about time the media catches on.

If they do I bet they get that protected 1st far out to 2018 back

Phil got back 1 2nd rounder he gave up in the Outlaw deal


So he can make sure he overpays this summer

I wonder if we can dump Calderon on them if we include THJ. For Lamb and another pick

One thing I do like is that there is no weekly build up and trades just come out of nowhere.

all in all this a great trade. we get rid of jr, shumpert sucked and was never going to back anything, get a draft pick, gain some cap space and get trade exceptions. and we gave up nothing. works for me.

We're in full tank mode, which is sad

Melo fighting the team's urge to tank


I wonder if Phil is saying to him

Hey might as well complete this losers mentality to the very end


Be kind to yourself and get off your feet, rest them

Lots of Knicks fans upset with modest return for Shumpert/JR. Here's the reality: JR was toxic. NY had to include Shump to dump JR.

Not bad at all. I am really happy for him

whats with the shumpert boner still? dude is always injured and never improved. why are you "happy" for him? what did he do here that was so great?

If we trade Melo somehow before the deadline than I will have the biggest boner

Formulate a better trade for the Knicks and spare me what the Knicks should have done last year. What was the better trade to be had on this day as of 1/5/2015...Go!

Here was a better trade Off To the Races winning running way broke tape first


Shumpert and Felton to Clippers

for

Collison, Reggie Bullock, Matt Barnes


Donald Sterling and Doc Rivers pulled out

Because we were hem hawing between them and the OKC offer


OKC hung up the phone on us after they were offering

1 of their 1st round picks from the 2014 draft

I do agree with you there, Briggs.

Its a move that, IMO, they don't need to make but maybe feel they need to do SOMETHING because the season is not going like expected.

At the end...They could come out the winners in this trade.

As an NBA fan, I think its pretty exciting that the two teams many predicted to meet in the Finals made such a big trade. I don't think we will be able to fully rate this until the playoffs.
