Knicks are a better team on paper. WE are interesting and relevant.
Championship teams are rarely put together via free agency after a sub .500 year.
Miami with Lebron comes to mind.
This was:
KP via draft
Rose via trade
Melo via trade
Noah via FA
Courtny Lee Via Free agency.
Rose is better than Jose, Lee is about Affallllooalllafllo, Noah when healthy is better than Lopez which should all add up to a better Melo.
KP by virtue of nature and experience should be better.
I think Knicks did very well for themselves and the kicker is we still have our no. 1 picks. Usually a make over deleted our future. We traded Grant.
Yeah, its a bit of a starphuch. With the money that is being thrown around I thought the knicks did not go crazy. Every team has a bad contract and maybe Noah becomes ours in the future.
Why can't Dallas so much? Max for Barnes? Not sure this kid is that kind of player, but Cube has a problem with what he is doing.

GS
houston - the moves didn't make sense; gordon and howard?? ryan anderson at 20 mil/year? lockout coming
winners:
knicks (could have been shut out) - noah, and courtney lee; could still miss the playoffs in the east, shockingly; have no bench and no money left over, and no cheap talent
celtics - got the PF/C they've been after
heat - resigned whiteside, likely will get dwade
san antonio - made their big play last year, duncan also opted in at 5 mil/year, which is nada
orlando - got a lot of players
pistons - got cheap talent
indy - got cheap talent
how would everyone update this list?

You have the Heat in the winners and losers columns. Guess you couldn't make up your mind?

So the Heat are winners for not losing their own players? At best they stood pat.
Losers:
Bulls- I have no idea what they are doing and I don't think they do either
Heat- screwed over their own heart and soul, lost Deng, Joe Johnson and Wade, didn't really add anyone

A lot of that crossed my mind. On the one hand the Bulls picked up some talent but what can they do with it? They look terrible as far as pieces go.
Miami, nice to see Pat eat it for a change. They have salary cap but I wonder if they will fall out as being the best new flavor anymore.
Big winners are celtics, Knicks, Pacers, Warriors, and Spurs.
Big losers are Heat, Thunder, Lakers, and Kings.
