Nuggets press conference makes it look MUCH better from a Knick POV. Sounds like we got the absolute best deal we could have.

That one was made up. By Panos. He got too passionate about the press confence and it kinda got away with him. Forgive him.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?

Final draft man. Some things had to be cut. Sorry bro, you know how it is. Twitter.

The only trade we could make with his contract now that we cleared our asset base is for longer garbage contracts like the Arenas' of the league. Rather we not go back to Isiah like moves.

The only real way we can acquire Paul or Deron will be in FA. We just won't have the pieces to pull off a midseason deal like we did now. So the key is making sure we have the space, and unlike with Melo, they won't have the uncertainty of a new CBA hanging over their heads. Instead, they'll both look at their current teams devoid of stars, and see a Knick team with Melo/Amar'e and about $13M in cap space in 2012 (which could turn out to be more depending on how everything shakes out)

BTW, Nets management getting mugged by their beat guys right now on twitter. Arrogant. Deceitful. They wont sell one season ticket next year (although that was probably true last week as well)

Hey, at least Nalod likes him.

Jot down "Paul/Okafor" for future reference.
