    Nah man - they are like $10mill each (one just over one just under). Those are not awful on their own - basically just a little above MLE money. Certainly not immoveable objects. And they save like $7million

    Would move the Knicks down to something like $74 mill - close enough to throw a max at KCP?

    I don't know if it was the money I think he really did want it to work with the Knicks I mean I could only imagine if I was one of the best players in the NBA and had the chance to play with the Rockets I would probably stick around longer than I should.

    Yep. And the lure of being the guy who brings playoff basketball back to Madison Square Garden must be pretty strong.

    Also Melo has referenced wanting to play that style more often. If he tried that in New York we'd have won 10 games...maybe

    We've never seen him as the 2nd or 3rd best player on his team, he'd be that in Houston.

    He's always been the best player.

    At least he's tougher than Ryan Anderson. He also doesn't seem smart enough to have the psychosomatic problems that hurt Anderson in the playoffs this year, so maybe that's good too.

    Leonard isn't a bust but I think is far from a needle mover.

    He was right about Rose coming over to the Knicks and Courtney Lee so there's that!

    If our GM can pull off an Anderson for Anthony swap then he'd be less like "Morey" Povich and more like "Morey, Morey" Hallelujah

    Are we keeping Ryan Kelly? Wasn't the deadline to cut him at 12 or is it tomorrow?
