Jarred Bayless is now a UFA. I think the knicks need another young pg for emergency. He would be nice and I wouldn't be mad taking on Flynn. If they can get Foye then it brings down the need but to me he is more a 2 guard.

Uh oh, Camby is visiting the Heat on Saturday and then the Knicks. Said he'll only sign for the MMLE, not the vets minimum. So basically if Ray Allen doesn't sign with the heat, Camby probably will as they can give him a starting role. Seeing him on the Heat roster will be a horrible day for Knick fans

Why the heck are the Knicks not trying to get J.J. Hickson?

He's a scoring forward who doesn't rebound or defend very well and we already have Amare for that.

I'm sure at this point Camby is our top target with Martin as plan b.

yellowboy...yeah i love jj hickson 2 but i think hes gonna be too expensive...i was never a kmart fan but hes good and i like the "charles oakley mean guy" swagger he brings...so i wouldnt mind him...camby is asking for too much and he wants to start
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Sure his agent and him are looking for a starting gig, and lots more money than the Knicks can offer.
I think he'll get that starting gig and a bundle of cash.

The Wolves have reached out to unrestricted free agent two-guard Courtney Lee, who has a big fan in Wolves coach Rick Adelman. It's even possible a visit is set up soon.

For now, the Wolves have no other visits scheduled. The team source indicated Lee is a higher priority than fellow free-agent guards O.J. Mayo and Lou Williams.

The Knicks can make Kidd a sign-and-trade and then get their MLE back for Camby if Dallas agrees to take non-guaranteed contracts and then just cut guys for cap savings.

Double checked and haven't seen anything else involving Joel Anthony so my bad on that one. But, Houston is open to doing a sign and trade and with Camby not open to taking the vet min, it will most likely be the only way for the Heat to acquire him.

Don't know how reliable they are, but if you look at my post in the Camby thread, I think James Jones is more likely to be used in a S&T as he's a $3mil expiring, where as Joel Anthony has 2 or 3 years left and sucks.

Ha, I see Kahn has moved on from his PG fettish, and now has a SG fettish. Didn't they just sign Brandon Roy? Other players they have that can play SG:

Martell Webster
Malcolm Lee
Wes Johnson
Wayne Ellington
Nicolas Batum
Brandon Roy

This is probably how the Knicks would have to work it, either a sign and trade for Camby, or a sign and trade for Kidd. Personally, I think there are younger, equally as useful options available for the money though.

If the Heat want to land their next free-agent target, veteran center Marcus Camby, Riley is going have to make the same sale or likely lose out to the New York Knicks.

Camby's current starting point for salary, sources said, is $3 million per season on a multiyear deal. The only way for the Heat to make that work is a sign-and-trade with the Houston Rockets, who own Camby's rights. The Rockets, however, are interested in a sign-and-trade with the Knicks but not with the Heat, sources told ESPN.com.

The Heat are scheduled to host veteran power forward Rashard Lewis on Sunday, who was recently bought out by the New Orleans Hornets. With Allen set to take the Heat's mid-level exception when he signs after July 11, Lewis is facing the same option in Miami as Camby.

Camby is still grabbing around 10 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in a little over 20 min. We could seriously use him.
