Danny Green to meet with Knicks
A source told Sporting News at the opening of free agency that the Knicks have major interest in Beverley, and that the interest is mutual. The Knicks contacted Beverley shortly after free agency began.
Chandler and Tucker are solid defensive players. Get the Morris twins to switch off at the 3. Can even go small with Markieff at the 5, its given them success. Booker, Warren, Morris and Len off the bench. Not a terrible deal.

I'd sooner trade off the Morris twins and/or Len to make room. TC, LMA, Bledsoe, Knight as the core.
Phil and Mills both said they would use back channels to see if players were really interested or if they were just using New York and would not waste their time...
Just a thought
I know Knick fans are freaking out but some guys who signed elsewhere Phil wasn't getting anyway...and some of the others you don't want.
The Warriors have agreed to terms on a five-year, $85 million deal with their free agent forward Draymond Green, a source told Yahoo.
Yes, but the fact of the matter is you can maxing out Aldridge, Jordan, and Monroe. You can probably win maxing you own guys over the cap, ala the Cavs. Can you win paying $15 million per for a 3 and D player? Because that's what's going on. I get that there is inflation, but did you see anyone winning by paying $8 million for those guys last year? That cap didnt double (even next year it wont fully double vs. 2014-15).
Get for Philly there is Stauskus.
Agreed.. Better to be smart than trying to make a splash..
it could be worse.
Imagine if Shump's shot off a rebound falling out of bounds at the buzzer in Game 1 had fallen.

AND a protected first rounder AND the right to swap first rounders in two drafts.
Fuck. Philly is going to be absolutely sick. Imagine if they draft Ben Simmons next year.
D'Alessandro left the Kings for a front-office job with the Denver Nuggets two weeks ago. Around the draft, several front-office executives and player agents expressed frustration about dealing with Divac on instances involving the trading and drafting of players. Divac is largely unfamiliar with the collective bargaining and salary-cap rules, causing him to struggle with grasping the machinations of negotiating and completing deals.

Today's Daily News has an article on FA Day #1 & in it talks to Melo at a Red Bulls game in NJ. "We haven't heard anything yet on the Knicks.I'm waiting for my phone to go off right now so I can hear some good news, but it's a waiting game.You see guys are signing up early right now and I think this free agency will be done in a short time" So why is he in NJ when other superstar(s) are completely involved in the recruiting process? Does Phil think he'd be a deterrent?
True

If you're scoring at home the Sixers have the following assets of value:
Embiid, Okafor (star potential)
Noel (all-star potential)
Stauskas, Saric (harder to project)
Covington, Hollis Thompson (cheap & signed for years)
Sixteen draft picks in the next four drafts, including eight 1st rounders and two "pick-swaps" (which increase the lottery odds)
Whether you agree with the premise of tanking or otherwise, the Sixers have are not half-assing this rebuild
He's a 21 year old that was picked 8th in last year's draft..I'd say he at least has a chance to lead a productive career.
