When did they really stop?
I think they are just making a few tweaks.
I guess they are worrying about paying for Holiday's contract.
And being able to build a cast before extending him.
They just traded for Dorell Wright.

Don't forget they got 2 1st round picks this year, they got Heat's and their own.
Maybe they have faith in their younger players, with Hawes, Lavoy Allen, Vucecvic, and their picks.
Philly drafted 2 forwards, Moe Harkless and Arnett Moultrie(trade with Heat)

yeah, i mean, they're not blowing it up. but they're clearly taking a step back to let their youth develop. would not be surprised at all if they traded iggy for picks and really young talent sometime before the next trade deadline.

Dejuan Blairre

for

1m cash a little under

Jeffries *if we have early bird rights, if not the only other play we have is Baron Davis which probably wont be playing next year*
Gadzuric

Other possible candidate
=========================

Anthony Tolliver - really would like to acquire him, think he would fit right in.
Gadzuric + 1m cash, could give him a starting salary of a little over 2m,

Dahntay Jones seems steep but I he is a solid defender, 2.9m is a decent contract that Pacer's might want to cut some salary.
He is probably our most realistic scenario, to save Pacers some $ and unload his contract

Earl Watson

Gary Neal not sure if Spurs would trade him

Picks that we won
------------------------
our next 2nd round pick is 2016 that we own and possibly Celtics top 55 protected next summer

If Houston left us 1 2nd round pick or/and Jorts/Jordan we would have something to work with.
Instead, they will probably cut Jordan and we lose the ability to trade him just so Camby could get like 500k more or cause Morey wanted both Jorts and Jordan

If Houston left us something, we could at least put a legit offer for Kidd, to give Dallas back SOMETHING, and then still have the min MLE to use.
Otherwise we must attach Gadzuric with JJ, Baron Davis, and I don't think we can use Bibby but that article said we could.

We might just wind up waiving Gadzuric, use vet min deals, and undrafted players/D leaguers

Actually using Davis or Bibby would get the knicks around over 3 mill back in salary and the key to why that is appealing for a team is because the Knicks would use their 1 mill to pay the contract since only 762k is required from the team. However, if they find a team that wants Jeffries they could get more maybe even over 4 mill back.

Me no likey.
