clearly wasnt ready for the NBA when he was drafted. Good hands, good size... FA next year.

DJ? Scouting report?

hustle player. not strong but athletic. can block shots but has a high propensity to foul. and fouls far away from the basket too (silly). has a nice little hook within 5 feet and can finish around the basket - especially on alley-oops. solid defender and rebounder.

he's only 22 and a good big man to have off the bench. he's not a starter tho. and if the other team has a strong/big frontcourt, he would be on the wrong end of a mismatch.

so 5 years $55mm should do it?

$55 to amir, $55 to tyrus and $55 to tmac would make you the gm of the century.

he can probably be had for 4 years $20.

Amir Johnson? LOL

Do you understand D'Antoni will only play his type of players?

Let me get this right. So Fish you are ok with giving up Hill and picks to get cap space to only sign a guy like Amir Johnson using it? Come on. I would personally put an end to things at the Garden and I'm not really a violent person.

LOL. That is Walsh's backup plan. He traded all our assets for the next 2 years, so he could sign mid-level scrubs in the hopes that MDA can turn them into a team. Well, at least we can tank for the 1# pick next year.

Trust the Process

the $50mm contract comment was sarcasm.
And I have never said I was for giving up the picks and Hill. I have only said that trade cant be judged now. It was done for a reason. What the reason yields this summer is TBD

how about we hold onto Jordan Hill & we won't have to be here discussing signing scrub role players to 5 yr $55 million dollar contracts?
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
