dont think he has much of a choice. i would because he might have some left in the tank. we still need a point guard tho.

if he's willing to take that deal then absolutely... but I really doubt that's what he's looking at

Did he say "Id sign for the LLE." or "I'll take a paycut". I doubt he'd want to sign for the LLE.

I voted yes, but I changed my mind. I'd much rather get Mike Miller, pending on if we get LeBron or not.

For the minimum? I'll take whoever we can get for the minimum. We're gonna have about 5 free roster spots.

for the minimum of course, but he ain't gonna sign for no minimum... he can go overseas & make way more than that.

the 1 and only reason I can think that Tmac would resign with the Knicks is that he gets to keep his Bird Rights if he does. Plays 1 year and comes back strong so that the following year he can get a decent contract with NY or do a S&T.

does he have anything left? He didn't really contribute much last year - granted he can't carry a team now but may be a good role player.

Sure. He still has a fully functioning brain and an ability to get assists. He can also shoot pretty well. Vet minimum for a guy like him would be worth it, especially if he could get some burn.

I just want to thank T-mac for entertaining me during his Knick debut, because after that I hated him.

He changed it #3 last year.

Only if he takes another 1 year deal. Then if he can prodcue consistently we can re-up him in 2011 or sign and trade him.

Doesn't Amare hate T-Mac? I don't see us bringing T-Mac back.

Any reports about how he looks, where, or if, he is working out, who he/his agent has been talking to, etc.?

If he can play 20-25 MPG for the entire year, he might be worth some money if the Knicks have the right team for him to play with.

Thats a compelling reason because based off what he did last year he's basically ONLY getting the min or LLE. He's either gonna prove he can still play next year or be a nomad.

On the Lakers or that type of team he won't get a chance to prove he's anything more than a bit player. I think he'd like to finish off playing for a winner, but he's only 31 and I think he's thinking about playing for 5 more years, not 1 or 2.

What assets?

Jordan Hill? Trash.
2011 Swap? Inconsequential and highly unlikely to occur.
2012 pick? By then either we're good enough for it to not matter or we're bad enough were it wasn't saving us anyway.
Jared Jeffries? LMFAO.


Please......... without that trade we're not even signing Amare let alone now telling all these other guys "Want to play with Amare and maybe even Melo in 2011?"

Couldn't do it without that trade.

Jeez....the whining over the nothing we gave up there is amazing.
