    Morey is that guy who only likes pics of Instagram models with a million followers and up. Slides in the DMs and buys Louboutin but doesn't get a 2nd date.

    Good article, and a well-needed dose of reality for the board.

    Hey clutch, what do you think about Gordon Heyward? I think he could be a great fit, but are we out of the running there?

    As always, thanks for the awesome content!

    I'd add Griffin, Lowry, Milsap and Hayward to the list of potential stars on top of Paul, Anthony and George

    As I said in my thread, our best chance to get Porzingis is by doing the Knicks a favor and taking Melo out of their hands, who they may consider to be dead weight. We would be more than willing to trade Anderson, Capela, and others to match that salary and absorb Melo's contract.

    Its going to be Carmelo and its going to be soon:

    "The new collective bargaining agreement, which kicks in July 1, still contains the stretch provision clause, which few teams ever use. The clause involves waiving a player and spreading his cap hit out beyond the seasons for which he is under contract.

    The 33-year-old Anthony has two years and $54.1 million left on his five-year pact. If Jackson were to cut Anthony between July 1 and Aug. 31, under the provision, the $54.1 million would be spread evenly onto the cap across five years.

    Hence, Anthony’s cap hit for 2017 would be $10.8 million — as opposed to $26.2 million if he remains on the roster as starting small forward. That would be an extra $15.4 million of cap space this summer for Jackson to add a defensive stalwart."
