May not be possible til offseason since Eric Bledoe is out pass the trade deadline but they can use a big like Tyson. They just have to add some fillers to get it done

Lin is a tough one because they don't want Tyson. Beverly returns Monday and Lin because of a trade asset

We are not getting Dragic--if you were Phoenix tell me who exactly would u want for your all star guard from the Knicks--thats right--no one. Its not realistic. Whats 100% more realistic--Carmelo is gonzo for no compensation.

He looked really bad last night. He had a very hard time with collision and doesn't do well if his man picks him up full court. Maybe more minute helps him overcome this but he looked very much like a d league player last night.

which I think he is..

Suns arent trading Dragic- him and Bledsoe were playing great together.

Dolan won't have Lin back because of 'betrayal' (it never comes from an enemy...). Lin hasn't been playing particularly well since returning from injury- certainly no where near the level of his salary next season.

So why on Earth would we trade for him, in the worst year of his contract, to help out Houston who ****ed us over with the poison pill in the first place? Now that the years have passed where his salary matches his production we want him in his last year at a salary no one in the league would touch. Not only that, people want to give up considerable assets for him! That would be like getting knocked out by Houston in a fight, getting up, and saying "please Morey, may I have some more?". Total joke move. If we do this it will be among one of the most pathetic Knicks trades to date and will only prove why we are the laughingstock of the league.

I know you all think Dolan is stubborn (he is), but would any owner with an ounce of pride really turn around and do this trade? No!

Also Lin is an average PG, if we're rebuilding I'd hope we can do better than him. We should have learned by now that having a good, fast PG is very important to a team's success. Dragic is a much better choice, but more expensive I'm sure.

but bargnani's contract isn't bad huh?

I just don't get post like this.. lin would make the knicks better.. bargnani doesn't...

Lin fills a position of need.. bargs doesn't..

people defended bargs, his ridiculous contract and all the picks we gave up for him... smh

I didn't say a word about bargs

He is a late bloomer similar to Nash (not as good but gets better with age) and will be an all star caliber player for many more years. Pairing him with Melo and this team would be in a much better place. As of right now, Dragic and hardaway is my dream scenario in the backcourt if Melo is here for the long term.

If the knicks traded shump for Dragic this off season they could have gotten him. Same with isiah Thomas. It's spilled milk but the knicks made the mistake in wishing their players into stars. We need to get better. That should be the only goal. We coddle the wrong players. That's always been our problem

Don't confuse with UK type talk as the true valuation of playrs. Not sure Shump's value was all that high to begin with. My opinion is based on Shump cutting his hair and knocking off the flashy shoes, hair endorsement thing, and coming in with a focus. we learned his knee was not 100 either. Well if we know this, other teams know this.

We talk up our players but thats just us.
