I don't think we would pick up the team option on mkg he's been a pretty big disappointment just as big as shump if not bigger.

....and JR had "a real problem scoring from outside" last season, so I'm not sure why they'd give up assets for him. Your trade simply doesn't make any sense. Yes, Gerald Henderson got some starts at the 3 but that was because MKG was injured and not because of some failings on MKG's part. The fact is that MKG played in 62 games and started all 62. You're not getting a talent like that for JR Smith and you're certainly not advancing to the 2nd round because of JR Smith. If he were that good, the Knicks would've comfortably made the playoffs.

you know jr shot close to 38% from 3. MKG is like another Al Farouq-Amino, neither one can shoot. Okay you two continue.

WRONG! He shot 39.4% from 3. What a moron! LMAO. On a serious note, I don't know why I was under the impression that he had a down year in that regard.

Hey, I thought the same thing throughout the season until I glanced at his numbers and was surprised.

I might be wrong about this as well but I think he got off to a painfully slow start. Maybe, first impressions are everlasting. I knew he had started to heat up toward the end of the season but I had lost interest in the team by that point.

Or what if we trade stat, Tyson, brigs and sign Lebron and melo

Lol Jordan broke the bank for fat al,drafted k brown #1, mkg#2,bismack biyombo. He's not Dolan level but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I watched the bobcats a lot this year and the announcers are really critical of mkg he's a mix of Kenny sky walker and shandon Anderson... Maybe not even worthy of a first round pick. Lacks court awareness low bb iq more of a project then shumpert offensively ... Man he can fly though and defend when he wants.mNot a great rebounder only averages around 5 has issues dribbling... Also picks and chooses when to play defense. Averages less then a steal a game. He's just overall not that great. jr is head over heals more talented then mkg.

As for Jordan's resume: (1) Yes he broke the bank for Al Jefferson, a 2nd team All-NBA center that propelled his team into the playoffs. (2) Yes, he drafted Kwame Brown no.1 but so would 29 other GM's in the league. (3) MKG is an elite defender and solid team guy. Yes, he was a reach but he's far from a bust. (4) Can't say the same about Biyombo but who else was he suppose to select at that point? Royce White? They picked Kemba Walker ahead of him, so clearly the drafting isn't all bad.

We need to get rid of JR Smith, I agree. I just don't think that the Bobcats would assume his contract, especially for a guy they value. The only team I could see wanting JR (outside of being packaged with Melo) is the Nets. Pablo Prigioni, JR Smith, Kenyon Martin and Raymond Felton for Marcus Thornton (expirer), Marquis Teague (expirer) and a $3 million trade exception works financially. Jason Kidd has the rapport with those guys to be able to vouch for them and has the veteran leadership to corral JR when he starts acting like a moron. Other than that, expect for JR to remain a Knick.

Exactly.

Couldn't they do a deal with Celtics and dump Asik and Lin for a 2nd round pick?

Parsons could fetch a reasonable First round pick in a separate deal. Rox don't have to play with us to move cap.
They can basically get a deal done with Celtics with parsons as the centerpiece of a deal.

I don't think teams want to take on $30 mil this season for Lin and Asik.

Rumor 'round the cooler is that they'll only represent a $16 million cap hold. I'm not sure how all of that works.

Yeah but $30 mil in salary

The Celtics have the money. Who else, under their current status, are they going to sign on a one year deal that is going to be worth a damn?

Dirk-Monta-Melo...............

Nice collection of talent but not sure the chemistry.

Melo wants to win, he can join the spurs or heat for the MLE. The we know he wants to win.
Not much of a legacy but he gets to show off some bling.
