Knicks · July 1st: The Free agent Thread............... (page 28)

Cavs are bringing in the Lebron James all stars - a group of fading veterans who only exist to shoot 3 pointers and work for near league minimum to be around the chosen one.

He played very well in the playoffs last year and Dallas was the only team to test the Spurs.

Austin Rivers to Boston is the word.

Pacers may have recovered temporarily.

Stuckey and C.J. Miles signings are solid


Their problem may be turnover and getting older but maybe it's worth not having J.R. Smith remixed on their team. Who knows

It's a 2 year deal $2mil.

This is what I was hoping Jason Smith would have signed for


Give us a little more to play with if necessary. Good pickup for Lakers

Nice signing. The lakers have all of their deals ending in 2 years. Too bad for Kobe but Kupchak appears to be setting things up so the lakers can make major moves in 2 years.

Lakers still with no coach. Build a team, then hire one?

Kobe gonna earn his supper!

Granted, there are players who will step up and earn respect and higher salaries so keeping flexibility is paramount, but I assume Love is not walking without a trade and Durant still is two seasons away from being free!

Is that the plan for many teams? Waiting for Durant?

Lakers future is not so bleak as it is unclear! The notion teams are "screwed" is not so apparent because the new CBA makes it easy to level the playing field but a killer contract can set you back.

We'll worry about melo's deal in a few years. Slowly Phil will have a balanced roster this upcoming season but its a future uncertain and unclear. Isn't that true about everything?

what are the lakers waiting for, its so retarded that they havent hired a coach, or at least made it public..

Dr Buss is rolling over in his grave, his family is going to turn that franchise into a laughing stock

The age of the starphuch is ending. Cleveland might be onto something big. They kept space open but if Lebron did nto go back home they still were setting them selves nice for a trade.

Knicks did not do anything stupid in panic either by pawning off Shump or dumping contracts. The Trade with Mavs was friendly.

Today we read about how the guy who wanted to move the Kings to seattle wanted PHil to be the culture guru and create a "Team". This guy even wanted names not on the jersey's!!!
Basketball as we have seen by SAS can be played with a beauty and can crush indvidual talent. Scary to think if Blatt can pull that off in Cleveland, and hopeful Phish can do this in NY.

Maybe we don't sniff a championship but there is a trend that might be starting. A throw back if you will when ball movement and teams blended together. Phil metions the core of 70's knicks cannot replicate in teh current era where the CBA promotes player movement but when things become equal a team that wins and pays it players might be a better destination that one that starphuchs and does not win as frequently.

I hope that every decision points in a direction that promotes a higher level of play. It does not have to be "This player or that player", but can be a culture that promotes and demands a high level of play.

Rumors of Josh smith being traded to the kings for Jason Thompson and Derrick Williams or Jason terry. The Kings seem to be in IT mode!

Terry wants to be bought out so he can play in Dallas. Terry isn't a favorite of mine. I wouldn't mind if he spent a year in Detroit.

Exactly how Kup drew up their offseason

Boozer is good in contract years. They have a bit of a logjam now with him, Randle, Jordan hill and ed Davis

ON what egotistical planet to you even care where Terry plays as long as he is not a knick?

Not sure that was necessary but Terry as an opponent has been a pretty nasty guy to the team I follow. Not sure what planet you are coming from with your comment.

Is that Detroit or Dallas? Why wouldn't you mind if the guy is in Detroit? I don't get it?

He wants to be in Dallas. I wouldn't mind if he gets stuck in Detroit.
