Honestly, I didn't completely hate him last year but when you're only legitimate skill seems to be drawing charges I think you're probably expendable

That being considered, we have an older team now but a much better defensive team. My quick reaction is that Grunwald is doing an exceptional job.

if we match Lin, we don't have any more active roster spots, 2 more inactive.

Well we could still cut crazy eyes but its 99 reunion, might as well put in HOUSTON and SPREE

Crazy Eyes could be on inactive list actually....

Chandler
Stat
Melo
JR
Lin

Kidd
Camby
Novak
Felton
Pablo
White
Thomas
Shump

I think thats about what we'd need. Ideally we'd like to have more depth at the 2, but we have guys that can play there until Shump is back.

Knicks have acquired Raymond Felton and Kurt Thomas from Portland for Jared Jeffries, Kurt Thomas and 2016 2nd-round pick, source confirms.

sounding official.

IF THEY SIGN LIN - this is a GREAT DEAL.

Lin / Felton
Kidd / JR / (Shump, JR moves to backup SF when Shump returns)
Melo / Novak
Amar'e / Kurt
Tyson / Camby

Love that 10 guy rotation with Shump taking his time.

Well credit to Hahn who knows what really goes on with the Knicks better than anyone. He helped me calm down when he said the Knicks might roll with Lin, Kidd & Felton

We all get to see a WHAT IF

Felton stayed instead of getting Billups as well

without though

One of those 3 will figure out how to get both Melo & Amare going!

Allan Houston is assistant GM. Larry Johnson is somethign something knicks employee. Camby is back. Kurt is back.

Can we trade Amar'e for Spree?

Dont tempt me.

matching and trading him just to spite HOUSTON is what I think they should do.

i agree the media roll with evrything and are wrong most of the time. I mean i think felton is replacing fields spot

Is it crazy to think that Lin will be traded in a package for Dwight Howard at the deadline? Orlando takes a guy who can draw fans, gets cap space and young assets.

i'm praying this is the plan.

if not, i may need to take a looong walk.

Also, never thought I'd say this but... It's a shame to see JJ go! He was great for team chemistry and loved being a Knick- thought he'd be back for sure.

I like Felton and Kurt, but its a shame if it turns out it was for Lin and JJ.

cause Felton is still a decent PG in the league.

We didn't give up anything besides JJ and a 2nd round pick.
