Gary Neal, Jeffrey Taylor and Jannero Pargo for Calderon works. Aside from Neal, none of those guys are rotation players, which make them expendable. Meanwhile the Knicks would get $5.5 million of expirers.

The money would be hard to swallow but MJ has made other dumb financial decisions in the past (extending Tyrus Thomas) and doesn't seem poised to stop (paying Marvin Williams big money). What's one more slip, to help out a friend in Phil Jackson? Lol.

Wow. Thought I read Walker had a cyst. The meniscus injury is interesting. Some guys come back really quick and others seem to take months.

Injuries like those are why I've never been a particular fan of small guards like Kemba. One nick like that and it can change the entire trajectory of their career. Hopefully this isn't the case for Kemba.

It seems like guys that rush back i.e. Metta, Brewer struggle down the road. Taking 6 weeks is probably the smart thing to do.

Usually if they come back quickly it means they have had the torn part cut off. If they take longer to come back it means they had the tear stitched up - it has a much better recovery rate but takes longer to recover from.

Houston Rockets: The Rockets have already made two midseason moves, but they have still been working the phones. League sources say they have been dangling Jason Terry’s $5,850,313 expiring contract in trade talks, and it seems they’re open to packaging it with picks or prospects in order to complete a deal. Expiring contracts aren’t as valuable in today’s NBA, but certain teams do have interest in ending or non-guaranteed deals. Take the New York Knicks, for example, as they recently gave away Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith in a cap-clearing move. If Houston can’t pull off a larger trade that lands them a big-name player like Goran Dragic (who they’re pursuing), adding a player like Jose Calderon from New York for Terry’s expiring deal could be a back-up plan for Rockets GM Daryl Morey. It’s important to note that this Terry-for-Calderon scenario hasn’t come from a source and is just speculation (unlike other rumors mentioned throughout this piece), but the swap could make sense for both teams. New York wants to move Calderon’s contract since he is owed over $7 million in each of the next two years and they want to have as much cap space as possible entering the summer. The deal could help Houston too, as the 33-year-old is an experienced, pass-first point guard who can knock down open shots (and, most importantly, is someone they could obtain without having to give up much at all). The only issue would be that it would limit Houston’s cap flexibility going forward, which may throw a wrench in the deal. Still, Morey is known for making moves at the trade deadline – he’s active just about every season – and don’t expect this year to be an exception.

I doubt Morey would take on Jose even if they miss out on Calderon but could Terry fit in JR's TPE? Getting some picks to maybe trade Calderon in the offseason or maybe even swing a 3-way trade would be nice

I want our 2015 2nd rounder back!

The 2015-16 season will be bleak if we strike out in free agency, we need a 2016 pick in order to survive the year!
