This will enable C.Lee to start and drive his value up.

Trading both Hardaway & Lee will free up a whole lot of $ with our young core (including KP) all coming back.

You had me at "expiring". Is there a link to rumor? Like Timmy. Did not like the price paid but thought he was proving it was not as bad as I originally thought. Question is, do we risk missing out on FA, as usual, and get stuck with KP left by himself with a bunch of young assets. Tough call and risky. Think KP will wait and see who we bring on. Not saying that if we keep Timmy it will make KP stay but gotta think if he is stuck with a bunch of young players it will make KPs decision to go elsewhere a bit easier. Will be interesting to see how Knicks are affected by KPs impending FA.

I think I saw it on twitter but it might have been Knicks Reddit. A guy that works for a tv station in Dallas tweeted that he has a friend in the mags front office that told him it was almost a done deal. In his version I think the Knicks were getting a 2nd rounder from the mavs.

Very tenuous tweet:

perhaps they see him as a better sidekick to Luca than Dennis Smith Jr.
He has size and is a shooter.
They might not see a viable replacement for the money this summer that is better than Hardaway for the money. Maybe we see via draft there are good choices, Trier and allows Frank to perhaps grow into a role.

Im trying to think how cap space does us. Do we think there is a chance to land Durant AND Thompson for KP?

What a truly random 1st ever tweet to have if it does indeed turn out to be BS!

we do need to trade either tim jr or Lee, not so much for a big name FA, but to re-sign whichever of the young players earn it- Mud or Vonleh, Burke, Kornet. I wouldn't trade Tim AND Lee, however, as I think we need some sort of veteran presence for next year.

I like THJ and his spirt, and that he likes playing here.

I also don't see us as a viable destination for top FA next year -- we're too far away from being contenders, lot of open questions about whether we'll magically get our act together in the FO or on the court. Clearing cap space feels like the LBJ debacle

Having said all of this, I would much prefer to move C.Lee. I can see him thriving in Dallas, stretching the floor and complementing some of their other scorers (and he doesn't need the usage% THJ does)

It's a troll tweet.

Fake name and the guy claims he works for KUVN, which is a Univision affiliate in Dallas. I am sure Dallas Univision has inside info.

This is truly almost as bad as the Noah contract.
