Deal? For which of the 3 bigs would you deal who committed a flagrant foul during crunch time? Odom, Bynum or Artest? For Gasol? To play the 5? This defense has enough holes.

Bynum with his dirty play will be sent out of La La land. The Black Mamba was not happy with his actions.

I think this has been the plan for a while anyway and Bynum has to realize it. With Howard's impending free agency and desire to go to Hollywood, combined with the sudden lack of chemistry for the Lake show, it seems inevitable that these two are gonna deal. Honestly, Orlando will probably make out pretty well, from a basketball standpoint (not soo much for tix sales) by dumping some of their big contracts and getting back some combination of Bynum, Gasol, Odom.

I agree with the OP though, I was thinking the same thing watching all those 3s yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't think the Knicks even meet half the depth of what Dallas is working with.

Nixluva must be on Mike D's payroll. LOL I can't believe this. Donnie can't do nothing for next season. We are capped out.

Hey Cuban has been at it for a while too. He's been trying to buy his championship as much as the Knicks. He just might get it this time.

DIrk is his Ewing. He has been trying. Can't say I'd hate if they won it.

Still in shock over the Lakers.

And by all accounts making extensive use of advance statistics for quite a while.

Once Dolan got involved in the Melo deal we were locked into the same boat as the Mavs. We have to spend money now to try and solve our problems. Hopefully Donnie will by some picks and we can make some great use of those picks. Thank goodness we're really only looking for key role players. Hopefully we can find a PG like Teague and a other young bigs that can fill our needs. In addition we'll be over the cap going after vets willing to take a bit less to play with STAT and Melo.

Statistics aside Cuban has thrown a lot of money at his teams quest for the title for a long time now. I thought they were gonna win it the year they lost to Miami. This is probably as good as this team is ever going to be. They'll likely never get a better shot than this.

Head to head Toney Douglas destroyed Teague in the ACC matchups they had.

See this is the thing..you sell Nash as the great example and he can shoot and pass and play offense with the best of the points in the league...but you only spend half your time on offense. Teague had 6 points 2 assists and 3 TO's last game
