PHX can absorb Tyson contract and with the Phx medical staff Tyson could be super Tyson all year round.

Those guys are not easy to come by. A young player I like is Khris Middleton because I think he is on the verge of being a good player plus he is behind Giannis.

Yea hopefully Phil and the staff spot those kind of cheaper players with upside.

I'm all for that

Not worth the cap load

Lee was my favorite Knick. Would've taken him back th last few years but now is time to purge and start a new

I didn't start the rumor....i'm just talking about it.

purge meaning wait to sign someone next year...but who because Love is about to be off the market. Lamarcus Aldridge isn't a game changer in my humble opinion. Rondo isn't leaving Boston. Nobody else worth mentioning....

i'm with a real purge where we suck for 5 years while we home grow a young team through the draft but if so then we need to let Melo walk if that's the case.

Gotta make a decision what you want because we can't have both.

In not interested in those guys either(Love, Aldridge, Rondo)

Personally I want to draft the next Lebron, Duncan, MJ, Kobe, Shaq, KG etc. Rookie contracts.
Then add pieces via smart trades and free agent acquisitions.

But that's just me. I'm sick

Im with you guns. Lets get a top pick in 2015 and then use our cap space to build a team smartly.

About this trade, it eats into our 2015 cap space but then Lee comes off the books in 2016? Right? I think Phil is going for Durant, tbh. I just have a feeling that is who he will pursue. I dont think he will go for anyone in the 2015 class or anyone pricy for that matter until he knows Durant isn't coming.

If that is the case, I wouldnt hate this deal. We dump Chandler who likely wants out anyway and get back a young player in Barnes who has had some bumps in the road but is only 22! Lets take a shot developing this kid, what the heck do we have to lose? He showed some flashes in the past. Nice athlete, etc. Next season is likely lost anyway. Lee is what he is and exits the cap in 2016 anyway, we will still have a bunch of space in 2015 if we want to make some less than huge moves. Actually we still probably have enough for a max FA even with Lee on there. Hmm i could be wrong there but whatever, Id just do this deal if GS is serious.

Would be funny to see Lee get let go by the Knicks again.

This time instead of banking on Lebron we will be banking on Durant coming. Haha can't make it up.

Instead of going through that again we should be working on drafting our Kevin Durant and if players are there to be had then we go shopping. Anyway that's what same teams would do

Oh, I agree. I just have a feeling Jackson will purge the roster and begin making over the team with his system in mind but preserving the space to go after Durant in 2016. The difference between 2010 and now is, I HOPE, that Phil will not throw out all smart team building strategies if Durant doesn't sign to go with a flawed plan b or c throwing out the careful work of remaking the team that had already been done.

I know I'm making a lot of assumptions here, but I'm assuming that Phil Jackson is going to be a good mg who makes smart moves. If he isn't of doesn't or proves to be horrible I'll have no problem admitting I had my head far up my ass.

I don't see it. Kobe and Paul play defense. I think we should focus on getting picks. David Lee is already on the decline in terms of production.

Its no starphuch so IM sure nobody would be "excited'. Were not supposed to be.

Smaller moves and pieces add up either on the court or as trade assets.

The article referenced I think doe not appreciate what Tyson brings or consider bogut to PF. Its evident Dlee and Bogut on offense crowd each other.

Most likely just another writer with nothing better to print!
