there is a greater chance that KVH would be exposed and selcted by the Bobcats.

Please Bobcats, take Houston. Please!

Who do we replace him with? We will still be over the cap.

Most of you sound like robots! What are you getting rid of houston for? Cuz he dont growl? and act like a guerilla? Like I said before, most claim Al is one dimensional. Then criticize based on their one dimsional view of basketball. You now have the best backcourt in basketball. But you genuises want to break that up now! How stupid. And put who at the 2? Yea right they come A dime a dozen. The ones that jump up and down and do nothing but dunk and make noise! Give me a break. YAll thought Houstons contract was gonna stop you from getting a player. You now have 5 max players. so you were wrong about acquiring players. get off the Houston thing. you sound like a fool to a real head like me! You would have a nobody 2 guard and still be over the cap! The cap is bogus and so are the people calling for Allans head. Every night. He is going to end up the knicks 2nd all time leading scorer. Not bad for a one dimensional, soft, over paid player. A dime a dozen? yep somebody said that! And thats what we deal with on All these forums. The bottom line is H20 deserves respect for the way he plays, the shots he makes and the way he carries himself. Some will argue the complete opposite. And I am Always confused. Because we are supposed to be watching the same team.

hopefully he plays well so that we can trade him even faster. The problem is him and van horn are good 3rd best players. Thats why we really need Rasheed.

i hate to say it becuase i love houston to death( enough that i actually WENT to the movies to watch that garbage of a movie " black and white" a few years ago)

Damn that movie was crap!!!!! ;-) but if you thought it was bad in english let me say that its nothing compared to the german synchro version!!!!!
On topic i have to say i respect Houston for his skill(not skills) and that hes just payed too much!!!

he'd be very good as a 7-9million dollar player certainly not 20mil.

There is *NO WAY* NO WAY* NO WAY* that H2O would be selected--NONE.

Why would a start-up team spend HALF their cap on a 33 going on 34 year old player with knee problems and a 20mm$ salary? I can tell you--they wont.

The best way to build the Bobcats is like this

They CAN take on some contracts and subsequently waive the player for an asset--like a young player or draft pick--they are responsible for the remainder of the contract--and they can do that up to 45mm


Lets say they are able to acquire 3 more first round picks for 20mm in salary[or around there] and draft mostly younger guys with potential and small contracts. Look at memphis--they are deep but can only protect 8--so Charlotte is able to get picks--lets say 4 9 15 19 draft 8 young players with contracts under 15 culmulative--to go along with the 20 they took on in vet contracts--that gets them up to around 40mm--which is where where I would want to be. The following year you have another very high pick and massive salry cap space for fA and you could be real good by year 2. Taking H2O makes 0 sense and will NOT happen--in fact unless they take harrington[expiring contract low salary] i dont see them taking any other player because they will protect williams and sweetney.

as for the knicks you DONT want to protect H2O because they wont draft him and if they did for some unkown reason, well I dont think it would be a bad thing going forward--he is getting OLD quickly. But it will NEVER happen.

the knicks will protect
Marbury
Sweetney
KVH
Thomas[if he is resigned]
Williams
Harrington[ending contract]
Deke[ending contract]+Doleac[if resigned?]
unprotected will be
H2O
Penny
Andersen
Norris

demarr who knows??

Hopin we protect : Marbury
H20
KVH
Kurt
Doleac
Penny
Williams
Sweetney

Id love to hold on to deke too, but id rather have the first 8

Its lucky that you not the gm. DOn't post again if your going to post things like protecting Penny. Not that the Bobcats select him anyway but why would you protect a bench player with a max contract?
