Its going to be an interesting summer for us Knicks.

Is Metta available?
Lets re-sign him for the low low (again) :nerd:

Kevin Love would be an amazing addition but Bargnani would have to go.
 
@_LosMan_: you mean Lebron? Racist RT @ChinaJoeFlynn: Can the new Knicks regime steal Pat Riley's black magic? http://t.co/tsQSYjP4K7

How many wins in 2014-2015 to deem Fisher's rookie coaching season a success?

idc about wins as much as i do making the playoffs. the east is weak and if we have a below .500 record and still make the playoffs, ill be good. its his first year, so i cant expect too much. finishing in the top 4 wouldnt be that hard though.

Does Jason Kidd's first season in Brooklyn impact your gauge or barometer for Fisher?
 
Tracy Morgan remains in critical condition following a fatal six-vehicle crash involving his limo bus, but people close to the comedian are beginning to sound encouraged about his eventual recovery.

Details about Morgan’s injuries and updates on his status are starting to emerge. The former SNL and 30 Rock star suffered broken bones all over his body, according to CNN:

Morgan suffered several injuries, including broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken leg and a broken femur. He underwent surgery on his leg on Sunday, [Lewis] Kay said, noting any road to recovery would be a long one.

Kay, Morgan’s publicist, said the comedian has been more responsive, calling the improvement “an incredibly encouraging sign.” Kay expects Morgan to stay in hospital for “several weeks.”

Meanwhile, MediaTakeOut spoke with a HIPAA-violating source “who WORKS at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital” on the condition of anonymity — so take this with a massive pile of salt — who wasn’t optimistic about the condition of Tracy’s leg:

[Tracy] suffered a number of traumatic injuries, the most serious is his leg. It was crushed during the accident. [Doctors] are working hard to save his leg, but it looks like they may have to amputate.”

The Walmart truck driver who slammed into the back of the Mercedes limo van, killing comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair and injuring several others, has turned himself in. Kevin Roper, 35, was charged on Sunday with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto.

:smh: What's a leg for your life.
 
agree with the sentiment. it would be hard to ween myself off basketball completely, but the league sure does try its hardest to turn fans off to the game at times

I wouldn't give up on basketball. I'd give up on the NBA. Two totally different things if you know what I mean. Basketball will never die.

NBA was allowed to reject the CP3/Lakers because it was a trade. Melo going to Miami would be a Free Agent move, there is nothing they'd be able to do. They can't stop players from wanting to take paycuts to play together. It's a joke.

These NBA stars now are a different breed. They've all known each other since they've been 12 years old, playing together in camps and AAU basketball, then they go to college and they all choose the same powerhouse. There aren't any individual rivalries anymore, it's just so god damn soft. It's not surprising that LeBron wanted to play with the best players in the league in Wades city (during the time). And it won't surprise me if Melo does the same damn thing.

Dude....that person should be fired

. I don't believe this anyway.

I really don't like the fact that these players pretty much like each other, @CoupeIt88  is right. This is league competition, not five star summer camp b. But at the same time, it is what it is. 
 
Didn't Wade say he wants a big contract like Kobe? I doubt Melo goes to Miami. I'd be speechless if it actually happens. I can see that LeBron wants to play with Melo on same team.

Just found my avatar from my old hard drive backup. Also I found a gif of Milos Vujacic making a crossover on Marbury as well. :lol: I will upload it and post it here when I get a chance.

If Dwade thinks he's getting a Kobe contract (which was dumb in it's own right) he smokin that dog food.
 
How much less do the Heatles have to take to bring on Melo? Just another few mil per season each, right? Don't they easily make up the difference with some off the court deals? Seems like a no brainer to me. They all still have more money than they could ever spend. I can't stand the Heat, but if I'm Melo I'm diddy boppin to South Beach to have fun with my boys and win a couple chips. For sure.

I just heard Windhorst back tracking off of what he reported. Now it seems "unlikely" because of salary cap and "ego issues". This dude is a clown.
Meh, he has to say that now because it's the finals. It's gonna flair up again once the season is done. It's the hot story now. 
 
With Melo's skillset he can be in the league till he's 35-37. Ring chase then if you cant win one here. You still have about 3 great/good years left.

Whatever though. I dont really care if he leaves, as long as its not Miami.

Lebron will take another paycut, he doesnt care.
Between Nike, Beats by Dre and Tmobile, he makes more $ off the court than on.

At the time, the NBA own that New Orleans team that traded Chris Paul..that's why they could reject that trade.
