NFT: It's here! July 1st! Knicks!

Than it just did 5 minutes ago.

if he bailed now that city might riot.

no way on any planet in any currency..

Harris work with Melo? Harris seems like a poor mans Melo in the limited games I saw him in?

Knicks showing interest in Ellis

Over Tony Allen. Allen can't shoot but he can give you high energy instead. It's not like shump hits 3s when it counts anyways.

Wow.

Not about the fit it's about the talent.

If they can't take a partner. I'm sure he'll go after a title team but I'd do everything possible if it was just a min contract.

Deron Williams? Fuck no. Once a dog always a dog.

Yet...

we just hit Peak Free Agency Madness. WTF? I think he's a nice player who still has room to grow but the list of things he can do is FAR outweighed by what he can't.

but he'll only take a 1+1, and maybe the same next year. If this experiment fails, he could totally blow town in two years

with even decent injury luck they're a lock for the finals. They're already stacked, and they still haven't even traded Haywood for a useful player.

would be a failure. I think he'd blow town if that happens.

And I hate the idea that a team is a lock for the finals. It seems that way, but it so often doesnt prove out.

to these new world numbers.

Yahoo Sources: Two small market teams have made significant inroads in the pursuit of free agent Greg Monroe: Milwaukee and Portland.

Iman Shumpert is making 1 million less than Stephen Curry, think about that for a second..

of somebody's cap next summer, it's going to be very difficult for anyone to offer a better chance at winning then Cleveland.

Cant wait for the next NBA lockout...you would think some of these multi-million dollar Front Office idiots would learn from past history.

Give me a crumb, Phil. A morsel of news.

I'd spend 12 mill a year for Wesley Matthews without batting an eye.

Go bet on it. 1 to 2 odds for the Cavs to come out the east. If you're right, you can make a lot by taking the field.

Sources: Suns have legitimately closed the gap in pursuit of LaMarcus Aldridge. Tyson Chandler, perimeter talent. They're a real factor.

.

POR and MIL made inroads with Monroe, and Chandler a draw for Aldridge. Cant make this shit up.

It's probably unfair, but if we lose Monroe to MIL then we can just retire any notion that the modern NBA player considers N.Y. to be a mecca or good place to play.

David West to the Knicks.

@ghassemnba

Anyone know this guy?

He's not leaving. And disagree a million percent on losing in the finals twice there being some failure. The thinking behind things like his never hold up to a second of actual thought. Just making the finals this year with the team he made it with, and then giving the eventual world champions the toughest series they had on their way to a title while playing with crap (tougher than any series they got in the west) was an amazing accomplishment. The whole losing in the finals being worse than not getting there is the dumbest thing ever, like literally. The. Dumbest. Thing. Ever.

If the Cavs don't win a title next year they'd be disappointed. But the notion that it's some epic failure and would lead Lebron to bolt is silly.

he's got 11 follows on twitter, so he's gotta be legit.

And he said not sure. Hearing 2-3 years with possible option. Could be a troll but looks like his other tweets were all good...

Wasn't saying it happened. Relax.

He is not sure because he is guessing based on previous rumors...

He sees the tweet David West made and now is assuming he is signing somehwere so he in turn makes a tweet saying he is signing with the Knicks...

If he gets it right he can say see i have sources gets it wrong he will say team jumped in last minute...

Same shit Incarcerated Bob does...he guesses based on rumors and hopes he is right..

you think if LeBron makes 3 straight finals and loses that it's gonna be all good? You think that a guy who bolted once because they couldnt win a title is just gonna embrace being the living embodiment of the Buffalo Bills, and stick around at age 32-33 to try a 4th time? All good?

Maybe. He'll get savaged either way. It's purely hypothetical. But I think the rings are going to be very important to him, specifically getting closer to Kobe and MJ. I also think there is a chance that team takes a bad, bad turn. I dont like Shump or TT. Love and Irving have very selfish streaks.

Zeke dropping knowledge on how to get free agents. Just want to punch at the TV

I just hate seeing his face on TV

He left Cleveland the first time because the roster was absolute dogshit. He left Miami because they were the oldest team in the NBA, and his sidekick (who has a knee held together by duct tape) was injured in 3 consecutive playoff runs. The load he was being asked to carry there was absurd. No one else has been asked to lead a team in scoring, rebounding and assists while also being their defensive stopper, and oh yea your sidekick is just gonna sit 1/3 of the regular season for precautionary reasons, that's just built into the cake

This is not his situation in Cleveland at present time, unless they are wholly decimated by injury as they were last postseason. This is his strongest and deepest cast ever. It's not easy to just to shopping for a decisively better situation, not to mention he probably loves the power they allow him to wield, which likely isn't something he can find elsewhere

Lastly using the Bills as some dirty word is just a notion I fundamentally disagree with. Next, he already has 2 titles in the bank and a window that is still open. If they lost in the finals for a 3rd straight time and casual fans/idiots want to beat on him for it despite the fact that the previous two teams (14 Miami, 15 Cavs) get nowhere near the finals without him, then they are as I described them. Let's just bash him for overachieving and taking flawed/injured casts to the finals

I'd love to hear the tale about how he convinced Jared Jeffries to come to the big apple when he had dozens of other teams begging to sign him.

maybe the modern day NBA player has figured out they want no part of Dolan since they can get the same or more money from other owners. The Knicks have been a laughing stock all of their basketball lives. Phil Jackson is already half way out the door. Isaiah is on deck. Anthony is 31 injured and cares more about playing in the All Star game than winning. Can you imagine Magic or Michael or Lebron delaying surgery, sitting out regular season games so they could play in the all star game? The only players willing to take Dolan's money were Amare who had no other options and Anthony who gutted the team to take it the first time and when he had a chance to leave took it again. Maybe the modern NBA is smarter than I gave them credit for.

The whole notion than he needs to get "closer to Kobe" is something for people with feeble basketball minds to banter about. That's purely ring count nonsense. For people who look at the game one step above that level of laziness, Lebron surpassed Kobe a little bit back. He's clearly been the better player, he has a least 5 seasons more impactful than Kobe's best speaking conservatively. Peak for peak it's not particularly close. Kobe was never even the clear cut the best player in the league. From a strictly ring count perspective, Lebron already has as many as "the man" as Kobe does.

The one and only argument for Kobe's career over Lebron was longevity, but as Lebron keeps piling MVP-ish years on top of each other and Kobe was essentially done being an impact player 2 years ago, that argument is now no longer even applicable.

"If we had Isiah, we would've signed LeBron"

at Monroe's market.

I bet we end up with Afflalo at like 3/30.

awesome cause that is a player I didnt want anyway

and tell Monroe to enjoy Milwaukee. Those two, plus the two first round picks, would be a nice offseason haul.

News/Deals/Rumors?

The length of this thread is overwhelming...in a good way!

Please and thank you
