Knicks and Bucks have met with Greg Monroe
Aldridge has met with the Rockets

Middleton to remain in Mil 5 for 70
Lopez 3 for 60 with the Nets
Thad Young 4 for 50 with the Nets
Aminu 4 for 30 with Portland
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.

I'm not seeing much of anything on him and potential visits, and now it looks like he won't be back in Memphis after the wright move. Has anyone seen anything?

He's going to be a steal for someone at the right price

So Im feeble minded because I think theres a value to counting championships. Because thats not what the players do. Because Phil doesnt flash his rings and Ewing doesnt get shit for not winning.

Whatever. Im sorry I hypothetically cast aspersion on the object of your obsession.

@BaxterHolmes: Seems the Lakers have deleted their tweets recruiting LaMarcus Aldridge to LA, such as the one w/ Adam Levine:

@ramonashelburne: It's one thing to be told no. But not good form to embarrass an organization. That's what's happening here

LMAO she's ripping Aldridge for embarrassing the Lakers because of the reports that he wasn't impressed by them.

As a Rockets fan I realized what an annoying homer she was during the Dwight sweepstakes, and everything she's done since then has just validated my feelings on her.

Windhorst is a joke, comes off as a LeBron stalker. But Ramona is easily more annoying and a homer of epic proportions.

My obsession is more a fight for intelligence than a fight for Lebron per say. I didn't mean to call you feeble minded, but if as an objective observer you view Kobe as a better player than Lebron than I'm sorry, the shoe fits.

Team sport. Individual player. Oddly an incredibly hard thing for some to grasp. Just like losing in the finals is worse than not getting there, because then you have the Coodies like the Buffalo Bills. Lebron just happens to find himself on the other end of some stupid arguments.

reminds me of when Windhorst was tweeting stuff like "LeBron has changed. I don't recognize him anymore" or something ridiculous like that during 2010. It's like the exact opposite of all the Knick writers.

I dunno any backstory. I just know that LMA could have just as easily released info that he's down to Team X and Y. Instead it was put out there that LA's pitch was focused too much on foofy LA shit. I think it was meant to embarass the team, and he comes off as a tacky (or is getting fucked by sources).

I also think the whole presentation thing is a bit ridiculous. Does he need them to explain who Kobe is, or make up something about Russell and Randle? I mean he's in their fucking division for gods' sake. You cant win with some of these players. You talk all basketball and then they dont know if it's a good city to raise kids. Or you have guys like LeBron and Cano and Amare etc. who plainly have a lot more interest in businessy stuff.

I was thinking that, too. I've been hoping the Knicks raid as much talent as they can from Portland. Lot of pieces there that would fit perfectly here.

Well I mistakenly said they were in the same division, so it wouldnt be the first time I was wrong.

on the Aldridge "tour" aspect of it. I understand wanting to see all your options, but at some point these guys have to cut this crap and be honest with FA.

Aldridge apparently is going to cut his choices down to 3 teams (Spurs, Suns?, Rockets?) and meet with those 2 teams again. Come on dude, only LeBron gets to do that because he's LeBron.

Ramona Shelburne is a Lakers homer always on ESPN  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 7/1/2015 9:53 pm : link
she ripped on Aldridge for disrespecting the Lakers. She has a history of being the biggest homer of any team of any sport on ESPN. The Lakers' media machine has a history of being absurdly snobby.

The Lakers are the Supermodel who has no idea how to take the answer "no" from a guy they want. When they hear "no", they tell all their girlfriends that the guy has herpes.

they'd have to shed bledsoe but still

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.

DCOrange : 7/1/2015 10:01 pm : link
Knicks are better off just sucking until next year rather than sign the also rans just to justify doing something. Willing to bet that they put themselves back into cap-hell by throwing stupid money at mediocre guys. No one worth long term dollars is coming to NY - maybe Monroe and even he receives mixed reviews. Aaron Afflalo? Robin Lopez? Just suck it up and suck so more because signing these guys with a quickly aging Melo would be a disaster.

I'd sooner trade off the Morris twins and/or Len to make room. TC, LMA, Bledsoe, Knight as the core.

GMEN46 : 7/1/2015 10:13 pm : link
It's really starting to wear on me. I was counting down the days to the draft lottery in January and the days comes and pure disappointment dropping to the 4th pick. Then I counted down the days until the draft and while I am not ready to call it a disappointment because I think Kristapas could be good, but I am just not that excited about him. I have spent the last 48 hours on bigblue and hoopshype pumped for the start of free agency and not a peep. I even got excited about adding west on the cheap for two years, but then We find out West has not interest in coming to NY. I already know how this story ends because it never changes. It ends with pure disappointment tomorrow when Monroe signs with Milwaukee, deandre resigns with the Clippers or the Mavs, LA signs with the Spurs and the Knicks end up overpaying for Afflalo and a bunch of other below average players. I have tried to stay optimistic about this, but Its been rough. And after they strike out tomorrow we will then learn next week that Kristapas will not play in summer league. Melo will ask for a trade in November, but will not be fully recovered from the knee and will start slow so Phil will trade him for 20 cents on the dollar. We will end up with top 5 worst record and to rub it in the pick we traded away will be the #1 pick and someone in next years draft will establish themselves as the best prospect since Lebron James. Yup sadly that is how I think about this team and organization. Luckily I am a Giants and Yanks fan. I could not imagine being a mets and jets fan also.
I dont think they do  
nygiants16 : 7/1/2015 10:15 pm : link
but Knicks must think the have some chance at Aldridge or Jordan if they are holding off on Monroe or other players...

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

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).

are going all out. Shumpert at 4/40 is nuts, the guy simply isn't any good. He shot like 10% from 3 feet and in in the NBA finals (or something close to that). Garbage player who is overrated defensively.

In the NBA. I can't watch baseball team outside the yanks for the life of me. If they suck, I can't do baseball. With Aldridge going to the Spurs in all likelihood and Duran/Ibakat (hopefully) healthy with Kanter, and Davis with a competent coach, and Jordan and Pierce with the clips, and Lebron/Kyrie/Love take 2 and of course the Warriors, there is some powerhouse basketball that can keep me at ease while the Knicks suck (runon intentional).
Funny thing is everyone is freaking out  
Stu11 : 7/1/2015 11:23 pm : link
and virtually not one big fish has signed. The guys we'd target either re-upped with their teams- Dr. Green/Da. Green or were grotesquely over paid- D. Carrol 15 mill (anyone wishing the Knicks shelled that out? anyone?) I get it that the market has gone crazy with the cap escalating, but that doesn't mean you have to add to it. There are still better deals out there, if not this year then next. Sure Monroe may go elsewhere and we probably don't have a great shot at all at Aldridge/Jordan. However there are plenty of guys like Koufos/Lopez etc...out there that can help. Draft night really sold me on Phil. Not that Porz is a guaranteed star or anything, but it showed me that Phil is looking to build a winner. Not just make headlines or go the safe route. He knew damn well that pick would get boo'd that night. He's not going to lock us into crappy long deals just to say "look we signed someone."
