There is an excellent chance none of these guys will be here next season. Also, that a Knicks jackpot this summer of LeBron James or Dwyane Wade would have made Jennings no long-term fit. If the Knicks strike out on the biggest prizes, their cap room might be best saved for Chris Paul in 2011.

Chris Paul's contract runs through 2013. The last year is a player option therefore the earliest we can sign him in summer 2012.

No other team will really be in a situation to take on that much additional salary while saving NOH that much money. We can also throw in future firsts and youth like Hill or Douglas. It's pretty much the Marbury trade Part II, but for a more legitimate superstar.

Of course, that all depends on Paul demanding out of NOH in 2011, which could happen if NOH dovetails again and misses the playoffs.

i think u'r buggin... even if u threw in Gallo, Hill, Douglas & a future unprotected pick, i still don't think NOH would make that deal... only way would be if Gallo emerges next season as a legitimate star
