I just beg not to spend 60mm $ on Ray Felton and over pay for Mike Miller Luke Ridnour etc etc... now it is what it is--play it smart and aggressive. If we dont improve the D we will be giving Houston a top 10 pick.

One thing that has absolutely killed is was the inability to get a PG in the last two drafts.

i for one dont see anthony as the missing link. if no lbj --> the pg position is what they gotta get. id much rather come up with a way to steal kd ina trade over sign anthony as a fa.

i bet they do the GSW trade, sign ridnour to about $4M and preserve cap room for melo or tony parker. IF they don't get their guy. IF.

stephen a smith reported that melo did not sign his extension with denver - i think he truly wants to be in NY next year. we'll see.

Our next savior.

If he does not sign the extension, I think that Amare has worked his magic.

Yep, I'd go for Randolph, If Lee would agree to go to Golden State. Of course Lee's options are really drying up right now, I feel pretty bad for him- I mean what teams can still sign him outright?

I think the likes of Felton and Miller may end up going to Miami, so hopefully we won't have to worry about signing them to hefty contracts- I think with the larger than expected salary cap, and the fact that they can go over the cap to sign Wade, means that they have a good chunk of cap left to fill out their roster with overpaid, average talent, which will hopfully prevent us from doing likewise!

Without Lebron, PG is a huge problem for us (with Lebron, Tony Douglas is fine as you don't need as much from that position then) and I've no idea how we'd fill it aside from maybe trading for Tony Parker at the deadline. What screws us if Donnie decides to keep the cap space and wait until next year is the impending new CBA- I think all of the valuable FA will resign extensions well before the seasons finished, so really if there were no trades by the deadline, then the roster can't really be improved until the following season.

I'm hoping, hoping, hoping, that all this sudden Miami talk is just Lebron trying to cover up the Knicks leaks to try and keep people guessing so they tune into the ESPN special, in which case it's worked. We'll no soon enough...

And if that doesn't work, hopefully we'll have cap room for 2012 or 2013!
