only under the cap teams can bid on amnestied players. it's only if NO under the cap team bids on these guys that they become free agents. i don't think many amnestied guys will hit free agency.

Hmm. I almost forgot Bill Walker is still on the team.

Would Hill/RJ/Carter be a top 2 player on the Knicks at either SF or SG? The bonus is whether we could live with any of these guys for stretches at PG.

SF: Carmelo + Shawne
SG: Fields, Walker, Iman, Douglas

I think RJ is kind of like an older Wilson Chandler. Not sure if his athleticism is still intact - but playing the Bruce Bowen role in SA didn't do him justice. If he's still got the springs, he's probably a better player than any of the SGs at this point.

Vince Carter... argh. Big fan - not sure where his athleticism is either. He'll probably be in the HOF at some point. I like his ability to play PG for stretches. And I think that even though he may have lost half a step, he can still turn the corner and elevate. He'd bring star power - just a few critical years late. Not sure how much is left in the tank. Defense was serviceable before... long arms made steals happen. Could be a liability there.

So, a guy like RJ is absolutely out of the question for the Knicks.

There is a God!!

^yup and if you needed more proof, Roger Mason will not be back.

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt
