Orlando waives Larry Hughes;has 14 guys on roster. And yes, despite what recent results might suggest, Dwight Howard is still one of them.

didn't d'antoni hate hughes? i'd have taken a flier on nate, but larry hughes??!? everyone here hated his guts.

i wonder if that means orlando is on the verge of signing jr smith or kmart though? or possibly making some other move.

JR Smith would be a great pickup for Orlando. Though I can just see StanGundy ripping his hair out from him.

According to Marc Spears twitter, they are waving him to sign Ish Smith, so there goes that option for us...

The guys people here are salivating over (Smith, Martin) have no reason to come to the Knicks (unless we drastically outbid other teams).

Ish would've been nice.

Do you ever have anything positive to say?

Dantoni obviously had no great love for nate, either. That train left the station; unless it's a tag along with some other trade piece (Balkman with Melo), why would either of these guys sign here to take up residence in the dreaded dog house?

If you've watched the Knicks for the last decade, you'd realize nothing positive has been accurate. The only positives are quite minor. (Despite your selective memory, I have given lots of praise to Chandler, for example.)

Thank God. Smith is awful.
