Quick I SAY UGH get on the horn in Mike's ear and work some kind of S&T since our future cap doesn't matter.

Charlotte acquired Jason Richardson (and $51 million in salary commitments) last week. This week, the Bobcats and Matt Carroll agreed in principle on a $27 million deal. And those around the Bobcats expect to re-sign Gerald Wallace very soon to a contract worth more than $60 million.

Yes. ASAP. Wallace is the perfect fit for our defensive challenged front line.

The Knicks should really make a major push to acquire Wallace. Jordan has a major hard-on for Crawford stemming from the Chicago pick-up games, so off Crawford + something else to get Wallace. Then, make a push to get Artest.

Our interior defense might suck donkey balls, but why does our perimeter defense also got to bend over

Yeah but then that would mean accompanying Crawford will be 2 unprotected first rounders and the deal would surpass $60mil. It would probably finalize to be about a 6yr $70mil deal.


He needs to act quickly this may be too good of an opportunity to pass up.

they just traded for J-Rich and resigned Matt Carroll long term. why would he do Wallace for Craword?

Because he does admire Crawford's game although if a S&T were to transpire I'm not sure if Crawford would be who Jordan truly wants. Jordan would ask for Lee and I SAY UGH doesn't appear to want to involve him in any trades.

We have to let our SF's develop. I think Nichols will emerge out of the group not just because he has the potential to defend and to be the best shooter of the group, but I think he'll be the best fit with Curry, Zach, Marbs and anyone else on the court.

Maybe we should trade our expirings for a larger expiring - like Ricky Davis

This could be interesting if the C's are motivated to get rid of the cousin from Coney Island

Joe. . . Ricky Davis would be a good guy for IT to target. He would not cost that much and would bring a ton of offense and solid defense (not great but also not terrible). He might be a short term fix to our SG problem.

I just think that if we're building a championship team around a post rotation of Curry, Zach and Lee, the wing players, all of three of them, have to be defenders and 3-point shooters... good 3-point shooters.

Wallace is athletic, a good defender but not an above average shooter, especially considering what we'd pay for him.

We have Q..., Nichols fits that mold, and Marbs. Collins can shoot the mid-range, he's fine with that as he develops his outside shot considering his salary.

Craw and Nate have to get better on D, Jeff and Balkman have to get better as shooters. Chandler is a wildcard.

Eh....Ricky worries me more than anyone. At least with Artest or even a Wallace(brittle body?) we know what we are dealing with. Ricky was shipped out of Boston and Cleveland for the express purpose of keeping him away from their young players. ANd we never heard a word of what actually went on.

I like Wallace but for $60 million, we might be better off seeing if Balkman improves his offense or Chandler can turn into the player IT presumes he can become. That being said, if the deal is 6/$60 million, that is not that bad when you consider how much guys like Hughes make.

Isn't there a 5 year limit for new nba contracts?

Wallace is more of an injury risk then Q. If the Bobcats pay 5/60, that's not a good deal. Wallace is a great defender, but loses value due to the amount of games he plays.
