Sign and trade him to Houston like BRIGGS suggests for Jeremy Lamb and #1 pick.

Of all the stupid **** I read here - and there is a lot of it - this is one of the stupidest things suggested.

<------Here is your badge. Wear it proudly.

Sure. Whatever you say, chop suey.
Your comment and MDA badge makes no sense.

But here....look at my middle finger pointed up in the air in your direction.

That may keep our second unit scoring very efficient, while Melo and Lin can handle the first unit scoring if Woody can teach them to play together.

But if Amare moves to 2nd unit who is our third big in the first unit assuming JR is the 2? We lost Fields and if Melo plays PF who will play SF? BTW -I still think Amare should start but I think him playing majority minutes with Kidd and Novak can be potent.

I like the idea of Shawne Williams coming back for the vet min. He just got bought out by Portland. He can hit the corner 3 to give Melo and Lin space and a target to kick out to. He's also a good defender and can guard most PFs pretty well.

I also want Jeffries back. He's a defensive wizard and highly valuable.

Jeffries -- we were thinking along the same lines.
Extra-E is available? Didn't know that I would like him too. But damn, Odom woulda been nice.

Do you need Jeffries if Shawne is signed? Also, I have brought him up too but how is his knee?

Dead weight at 9mil total? If anything he is bought out after the yr

Knicks add Jason Kidd and will either match Jeremy Lin or sign Raymond Felton

If Lin's contract is back loaded, I would prefer to get Felton. The guy is a solid player. I just can't see this team getting its self back into the same hole that it was in a few years ago. If Houston over pays Lin, I have no problem seeing him go, and I hope the Knicks FO feels that same.

I totally agree.

Maybe we can match but with last year as a team option, in case of a career ending injury?

the last year already is a team option.

it's a totally reasonable contract to match. the exact same guaranteed money as the landry fields deal. 4th year is a team option.

knicks would be insane and bad at business and basketball thinking if they didn't match

You gotta admit, it has a nice symmetry to it.

Only one thing matters with our "awkward" roster. Does Kidd make the guys around him better?

You damn skippy.

And Tyson and well Fields...

Agree, too. I'm glad that there's at least a few of us here
that see the fallacy in signing Lin to such an albatross contract.
BRIGGS had the right idea.

Every contract has potential to become albatross, so what? BTW, you can't have an albatross without Alba.

i tend to rationalize any move the knicks make within two hours of them making it. i'm an eternal optimist with regard to the knicks.
