Knicks get Porter???, Teague/Schroeder??? & cap room???

I thought we already had some cap room.

Great, we get a legit shooting PG with one guy to pass to (KP). And we end up without even BrokenBlake.
Another fabulous lets get rid of our best player idea.

Beal here doesn't make much sense. Blake to the Wiz, Beal to Hawks, Teague to Knicks, Melo to Clippers has more logic to it, basketball-wise.

I love Beal's game when he's healthy. But he's got glass bones.

Please explain how Beal doesn't fit here. Fast,young 2G that can shoot. We don't have that o this roster.

I hate it. What's the point of the deal? All it does is commit to a middle-of-the-road strategy, which leads to no where. We need young players that can become better or a star. This trade accomplishes neither.

not sure i agree. it provides quality players in teague and porter. And i suspect gives us the flexibility to pursue a top FA

Teague is a 28 year old muchkin whose game is predicated on his ability to get into the lane/speed. Those type of guys, especially non-stars, don't hold value for very long (e.g. Jameer Nelson, Devin Harris, etc.). I understand that a 31 year old Melo with a bad knee handicaps his trade value but not to that extent. I do like Porter but can we even say that he's a consummate starter at this point? And we're giving up a perennial all-star for that? I'd need a better jumpstart for my rebuild than this. I'd be far more inclined to find a deal to duml O'Quinn and Calderon's contract, then try my hand at signing Derozan and Horfor via free agency.

Derozan isn't leaving Toronto. He just made a statement about how hard it will be for anyone to get him to leave Toronto and about how much he loves putting on that Toronto jersey so anyone that's been wanting him can scratch him off their lists.

That has been said before??? Aldridge just said he loved Portland last year?

Yes he did just like many players do but Toronto is a really good young team that will be competing in the east for the next 5 years plus which Portland wasn't even close to. D.Derozan will be a Raptor next year and probably for most if not the rest of his career.

The Raptors got swept by Washington....and you see where the Wizards are this season. TOR might be on a nice little stretch but let's not pretend they are anything but a good team in a no-name conference. Once a 29 year old Kyle Lowry begins his decline, they are toast!
