i thought denver might take turiaf to partially make up for losing Nene. use turiaf, birdman and mozgov as a 3-headed monster.

that's not terrible

Hill is going to the Spurs, apparently.

Where is the Hill to Spurs news... that's kind of surprising.

Not too surprising...Berman was the only one who was saying Knicks had a chance and he's always wrong.

Adande reported it on Twitter/ESPN. Too lazy to find it now.

i think that's more than not terrible - it's great. but i don't think they can get Miller.

don't forget Jefferies man, that's important.

Also, Landry.

oh damn. i did forget about him. that's how bad he played in the playoffs.

Yeah, I'm hoping he just hit the rookie wall and he'll be better this season.

Good use for amnesty until we really need it.

On Knicks-Chandler front, sources say it looks like Billups will be amnestied and Turiaf will be sent out in separate deal. No sign/trade.

Major bummer almost at a humdinger level.

Are you being sarcastic or do you support using the Amnesty like this

what's wrong with using amnesty to get a real center? they could only use amnesty on contracts from last CBA, so: Billups, Melo, Amar'e, Balkman, Turiaf, Toney were the options.

loweyecue wrote:Nothing wrong with getting a center. But Billups contract should not be hard to move, I don't understand why we have to waste the amnesty on that. It should be retained as an insurance against injury to one of our players. They can't find a team that will take Billups? Duck Fenver BTW.

why take him in a trade if they know they can claim off the amnesty wire and the knicks will pay the majority of his salary?

It's not just finding a team to trade with; it's being able to take back little to no salary to sign Chandler.

it's a MAJOR bummer because we just amnestied a guy whose option we could have declined. just more mismanagement. i understand that you can't predict the future, but this is just hard to swallow. we picked up his option and then we amnestied him. just feels like we threw away a huge insurance policy on Amare's contract.

Well nothing is official yet. The laker's deal is more solid than what we have right now. We still don't know all the details.

i hope the Knicks find a taker for Billups and Turiaf.
