    It was 1 yard, then the Knicks hired a GM. We'll get it back to the 1, then get a new owner and punt it DEEP.

    I'm fine with the team as-is. Not sweating this anymore.

    The Knicks can hit the "reset button" all they want. The Rockets and other teams are going to just reload the progress from the memory card.

    Same here, i'm more concerned about the Les thing now. It's not like we would miss a star anyway tbh...if he comes good, if not so be it.

    Stay calm by remembering how great our team was last year and we got even better.

    I'll say it again... 3 team trade (HOU-DET-NYK)
    HOU: Melo (NYK) Championship contender
    DET: Ryno (HOU) + Courtney Lee (NYK) volume 3 point shooting & Eastern Conference Contender (4 or 5 seed)
    NYK: Tobias Harris (DET) + Reggie Jackson (DET) + HOU expirings (Quarterman, Long) + 2020 1st HOU (lotto protected) Knicks shed salary + vet PG + NYC native / Melo replacement + future 1st


    That's the simple version.
    More complicated would add (so Knicks could cut even more salary and Detroit would strengthen their bench, interior defense as well as 3 point shooting)
    DET: Lance Thomas (NYK) + Kyle O'Quinn (NYK) + future 2nd from NYK
    NYK: Henry Ellenson (DET)

    Do you think Les is selling the team cause he knows something?

    I don't think melo had caused any drama in his career. The knicks are just a cancerous organization making melo look bad. Melo stated he wants to be traded to Houston. Yet knicks management are playing mind games claiming he said things when he didn't.

    My only guess is that maybe he is having a bit of fincial troubles

    But my guess is he's getting older, his family probably are not instrested in taking ownership when he's gone so he probably wants to make some mula for him and his family before he passes away

    At the end of the day he can still be a Houston rockets fan but with a billion dollar check in his pocket

    They are literally delusional if they think that's true. Portland is a joke of a team. They don't even know how to balance checkbooks properly, I hope Morey tells the other 28 teams to blacklist Portland and let them rot in their 40 million over the cap and 20 million of luxury tax line. Let that repeater tax hit em. Teach them a lesson.

    I get it if it's because of his age. I'd just figure he'd want to see how this CP3/Harden/Melo? Big 3 would play out the next couple years

    It would suck to actually see the banana boat be formed in Houston and he misses out

    Anything involving Carmelo is a melo situation.
