Lebron adds fuel to NY/NJ Fire

Chris Sheridan writes that the King (sorry Henrik) has talked about the possibilities when he enters free agency, and mentions among other things, Brooklyn is his favorite borough.
“They have a right to dream about it, and I can’t take that away from them. My friendship was way before Jay was part-owner of the Nets, and [...]

Database Basketball and Duhon

databasebasketball.com is one of the statistical sites that I rely on to get my information. After reading Tommy’s post about the possibility of Duhon I became intrigued and did some statistical research. Now, let me preface this by saying I am not one to just look at stats, but I was interested in Duhon’s production. [...]

Recap of Alah Hahn’s Live Chat

Hahn has implemented this live chat stuff, and we think it’s great. He discusses several scenarios including Monte Ellis, Duhon, David Lee and Zach Randolph.
Ellis not be my ideal PG either, but who cares if he fits with Crawford. If we get Ellis we should move JCraw, stat. Ellis is a long shot at best, [...]

The Nets Have Cap Space…The Sky is Falling Part 1

Great Lebron piece by the fans at waitingfornextyear.com, as they try and distinguish how the Nets clearing cap space is the first bad sign Lebron may be skipping town in 2010.
“The basis for all of this is simple. The Nets traded Richard Jefferson, thus freeing the $15 million dollars he’s due in 2010 from their [...]

Sporting News: Duhon on top of Knicks PG list

UPDATE…1:22pm
Sources have told TKB that this could be agent angling, and that Duhon is not necessarily on the top of Walsh’s list.
I think he will be a factor and could very well be in a Knick uniform, should they struggle to find a match with Lee.

As per Sean Deveney:
Word is that, when the NBA [...]

The Checklist

Ok, so this team has plenty of needs, and the pick of Gallinari may not plug that many holes. Obviously, the next step is to snag a point guard. But there are plenty of other glaring needs before this team can consider competing night in and night out.
POINT GUARD- This is coming, and David Lee [...]

More Gallinari and the Rumor Mill

As we head into the Fourth of July holiday weekend there is still basketball talk surrounding the Knicks. First the guys over at  The Hoop Doctors talk about the possibility of Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden for Zach Randolph. Predictably the Bulls didn’t pull the trigger on the deal.
Finally, I really enjoyed reading Alan Hahn’s [...]

Draft Express- Gallinari’s for Real

Luis Fernandez, the European talent evaluator for draftexpress.com, has the following take on Gallinari.
The connection between D’Antoni and Gallinari has been generously voiced: the Knicks coach shared team with Danilo’s father, Vittorio, back in the eighties, when Olimpia Milano dominated Europe (the great Bob McAdoo joined them too).
Now, many can think this is a [...]

Isola: Marbury will be waived

Marbury made his “This is my year” declaration months earlier than usual, and there is little doubt that he wants to play out the final season of his contract in New York. But there is a strong possibility he will not get that opportunity. If club president Donnie Walsh acquires a point guard, Marbury likely [...]

Monta Ellis?

Marc Berman of the Post mentions that Donnie Walsh and Chris Mullin maybe close to swinging a deal that would move Ellis into the Knicks’ backcourt. He also notes other options at PG, which we talked about yesterday.
“I think we can use help (at point guard),” Walsh said. “But we probably could go in the [...]
