Hope the Dwight trade happens if it means that Bynum goes to Cleveland

Cs going after Darko.. I am debating who I like more, Darko or Stiemsma. I like depth with big men if Sullinger can contribute at all but they really need another wing. They are trying to do s&t for Terry so they can give mid level to Lee.

how can you have that many players underperform in relation to expected performance and/or salary in a relatively short span?

i dont really remember if I hated it at the time. But I love everything they've done since. somehow turning the wright trade from a euro who's never playing in the nba to J. Jack. I was thinking that this what a well-run team does. tell me they don't have a playoff lineup

G: curry, klay, jack, jenkins
SF: jefferson, rush, barnes
F: lee, bogut, ezeli, tyler, biedrins

I really like what Ezeli can do out there. Guy has to be smart to go to Vandy and he has almost an Ibaka like skill set on D. Fuck it, i'm gonna call him Ibaka-lite for now

Too early to tell. Bogut still hasn't played a game, Monta is still my favorite Warrior ever, and the only real outcome we've seen from the trade was a concerted effort by the franchise to lose every game for the rest of the season. So if I had to choose right now, I'd still hate it. But I reserve the right to make a decision that is based off of anything other than pure emotion once I see the new team play together.

Knicks may not match the Rockets offer to Lin and he could be heading to Houston.

PEACE

this is such a disaster by the knicks

if they offered him 3 yrs 24 million immediately, he would have accepted no questions asked. instead they wait for the market to decide, their own words, and well, they screwed themselves. they had lin loyal to the team for giving him a chance and they fucking blew it. fucking dickheads. this devalues my knicks tix on a personal level two ways: less demand for tickets and now when i do go i have to watch some faggot play point guard. fuck.

The New York Knicks have agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with the Portland Trail Blazers that will bring point guard Raymond Felton and center Kurt Thomas to New York in exchange for center Dan Gadzuric and forward Jared Jeffries, a league source confirmed Saturday night.

"It's not up to me. It's up to the organization to say that they want to match that ridiculous contract." -Melo

Talking about Lin.

Annnnnnd Kidd gets a DUI.

I love the Knicks.

kidd is now an alcoholic wifebeater 4 lyfe

and to be fair to melo, he probably was referring more to the 3rd year backloaded part of the contract than he is referring to lin not being worth money

A) Write it yourself.
B) Don't be generic as shit.
C) Make it longer than the picture of yourself.
D) Don't write it to a place that hates you.
