I agree with everythying you said, but we simply don’t have the ability to pay someone that’s any “good” the money they are worth. So IMO, the idea is to accumulate picks and young talented players, D league players with some potentia, l etc… and hope someone blossoms into a very good player. We also might be able to pull off a trade later. Next year and in 2011 we’ll have a better chance at FAs.

I’m starting to think our chances of landing Rubio are lower than I previously thought. It seems as though as part of any deal, Kahn wants someone to take back a couple of the bad contracts he acquired to get the #5 pick. That leaves the Knicks out.

well hill being a rookie will prolly get very little minutes,curry ,being out of shape or with bad knees will get little minutes,DARKO well,being almost a bust,will get very limited minutes,LEE,will get big minutes,AL n GALLO wil split time at the 3 and 4 i think it all depends on how well eddy curry plays and how he holds up. but AL ,GALLO, and LEE will see the majority of minutes

Tommy,

I was the caller on a recent radio show that you were on and I stated that free agents use the Knicks as leverage to get their teams to pony up more money. You disagreed, but look at what happened. Granted, the Knicks offered more to Grant Hill, but the Suns ultimately gave him more money than he otherwise would have received. The same rings true of Jason Kidd who wanted to show Cuban that he has some value left in his 36yr old legs. Steve Nash has brilliantly played his cards by repeatedly mentioning his love affair for D’Antoni. Now the Suns are talking about giving him a substantial extension because they do want to keep him and they do not want to lose another person to New York. Donnie Walsh has played his cards patiently, but I believe has to be a tad more aggressive. We still do not have a legitimate low post scorer. We still do not have a legitimate three point threat who can create his own shot. The best we can do is chase 36yr old ball players? And still get burned by them! We have the desire to improve, but I still feel we lack the killer hunger to accomplish our goals. 2010 is our last and only hope.

TOMMY DEE..

YOU LIKE THIS TRADE. IT BENEFITS ALL TEAMS…

EVERYONE MAKES UP THESE DUMB TRADES THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. LOOK & THINK ABOUT THIS TRADE…

1. KNICKS WANT RUBIO AND MONEY OFF THE CAP RIGHT?

2. BLAZERS WANT LEE RIGHT?

3. TIMBERWOLVES WOULD WANT BACK SOMETHING FOR RUBIO RIGHT?

SO WHY NOT DO..

KNICKS GET RUBIO AND TAKE BRIAN CARDINAL A BAD CONTRACT FROM MINNESOTA.

BLAZERS GET DAVID LEE, COREY BREWER FROM MINNESOTA AND 2 MILLION FROM THE KNICKS

TWOLVES GET AL HARRINGTON, RUDY FERNANDEZ FROM PORTLAND AND A 2012 FIRST ROUNDER.

Why does Minnesota want Harrington? Is he going to play the 3? He can’t play the 4 with Love and Jefferson already there.
Fernandez would be a desirable pick up for them though.
What about Outlaw, Fernandez, and 2 million for Rubio and Cardinal?
You’re essentially trading Lee for Rubio and I’d do that trade in a New York minute.

So we didn’t get Kidd or Hill,

There are reports today that Eddy Curry has dropped 50lbs
and is on his way to Vegas to train with the team.

If this is true and he can play again, then this might be a GOOD week.
If Eddy can compete again he may help the Knicks win or at least
make himself desirable to another team looking for a big young center.

fingers crossed

I do agree that the Darko move is a solid one…but let’s talk on the court for a second.

If we do bring back Lee, where are the minutes for Lee, Curry, Darko, Hill and Jeffries if you are going to play Al and Danilo at the 4 at times?

moves are coming…

Blazers offer Millsap 4 years at 32-36 million, so that pretty much sets the top for Lee
