Posted by TMS:I would be quite happy with the performance line I put up, but I'm hoping that he can be more productive offensively. He turned 23 during the summer- if he can give us 2 decent years, we might even think about resigning him for less money in 2010, and if he does well with D'Antoni he might be willing to take the cut in pay. People have to stop looking at Milicic as the #2 pick in the draft. If you look at him as a shot blocking reserve center who can fit into the flow of the offense, grab a few rebounds, limit the foolish decisions, and give you 30MPG at times, he suddenly becomes a valuable asset for this team. ...And Jaric is not the stiff people make him out to be. He is an intelligent player who does a little of everything. He is not going to be playing 35 MPG, or make the highlight reel, but I think there is a good chance he will be in the rotation by the end of the year.

Posted by Pharzeone:I think that Memphis won't make the trade if we don't take Jaric.Posted by TMS: I would love to pick up Lowry, and would be more than willing to give them Collins, who is not going to fit into D'Antoni's plans, IMO. re: Lee- I would think that the Knicks want to see how he looks this year and whether D'Antoni can use him in a system which values offensive versatility. I really hope he has worked on his midrange game because I want him to stick around. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities- C.N.

The "only" bad thing about Milicic is that his basketball IQ is even worse than Curry or Zach. But for sure he is talented, and he "can" do everything well.

You guys are getting your hopes up talking as if the deal is almost done. My guess is that Memphis will try to get us to throw in something we don't want to because they know we are desperate. As a knick fan I've learned to expect the worst. I'm guessing that Memphis is asking for something that the papers don't know about
I just hope that people will like me

Hell no. I'd rather watch Eddy and Zach start all season than deal another first rounder.

To get that 1st rounder, are they willing to send back one of those PGs they have? That's still not worth it and I like Crittenton. But not enough for a high first round pick maybe Mayo or Gay. I know I'm dreaming.  In the Knick of time.
Knickal for Your thoughts.

That's why it's tough to trade after years and years of LayMos. Teams no we are desperate to get rid of some of these guys and can ask for almost anything. I'm sure the negotiations consist of far more than what is being reported in the papers.
I just hope that people will like me

Booooh... this trade where we send them Zach, AND a 1st rounder AND take on Jaric's deal in 2010, AND make the deferred payments is a straight up steal for Memphis.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

The DeIsiahization of this team is going very well in the short period of time. No to First rounders unless they take some of our roster (mardy) and give us back Conley if he deems as fitting. |

what happened to all the guys on this forum who claimed we could easily get back a 1st round pick & an expiring for Zach if we waited?
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

If they want a first rounder, I tell them blow me.
