Reminds me of the Warriors off-season where they overpaid Dunleavy, Murphy and sucked until they dumped they dumped those contracts.

Joe D ensured them they wouldn't be competitive when he traded Billups for Iverson. That's when it seemed to go all down hill.

Not necessarily. That move freed up tons of cap-space. They decided to misuse that cap-space instead of saving it for a GOOD player.

Well, thats true too. Honestly though, I thought Gordon and Charlie were going to be more productive then what they have been thus far.

Maybe we can get lucky in the lottery and get John Wall lol.

Pistons were headed nowhere. Blowing it up was a fine idea. But they botched the rebuilding job.

I can't believe they gave Rip that extension

They're obsessed w/ Rip and Prince up there...surprised they let Chauncey go.

T-Mac To New York Almost Finalized

The Knicks and Rockets are reportedly finalizing a trade to send Tracy McGrady to New York.

The Knicks have agreed to give the Rockets the right to swap first-round picks in 2011 and the Knicks will send the Rockets their 2012 first-round pick. Details on protections attached to the two picks is the sole issue remaining to be resolved.

The trade creates approximately $9.5 million additional salary cap room this summer and gives the Knicks the ability to offer two maximum contracts.

New York will include Jared Jeffries, Jordan Hill and the expiring contract of either Al Harrington or Larry Hughes.

Seriously...I can't effing believe that deal. Houston's going to be absolutely frightening in 2-3 years.

New York is going to look really stupid unless they sign two max players.

I predict they will sign two players to the max...but not two max players.

Chris Bosh & Joe Johnson...come on down!!!!

More like Amare and Rudy Gay. I think Bosh stays in Toronto. And I think JJ stays in Atlanta.

Come on Donnie Walsh, you're better than that. There better be protection on that 2012 first rounder.

You're probably right about JJ. I'm less sure about Bosh.

Honestly, I think that pretty much everyone but Stoudemire, Bosh, & Gay stay where they are this summer.

What kind of protection is supposedly what they're negotiating. Everything else is allegedly done.

The pick swap is already too much. The 2012 pick better be lottery protected.

Explain why? I don't know much about the players, is it the picks that makes this a good deal? Who's to say they will even be good picks? If they do sign a few impact guys, playing in that lousy conference those picks may not be so good. Potentially they could be, but no guarantees. All I've read is how bad Jeffries contract is and not sure about the Jordan kid except that most thought he was a reach and F is the one position we are set at.
