    We add a PG in Tony Douglas..only thing is he's already 26.

    Jerome Jordan a 7 footer out of Tulsa, has good size along with Harrelson.

    If the deal doesn't include picks, the only way I can see the Rockets agreeing to this is if the Knicks have given them a wink wink deal that they won't match the Lin offer.

    I think it considerably more likely that there is at least a 2nd round pick involved.

    he shoots 40% from the field career (last year he shot 32% from the field). Not good.

    Very disappointed. I want picks, not average role-players.

    Harrelson isn't guaranteed either. Deal will need to include a pick, take back an additional salary from us, or we just like Douglas.

    Douglas sounds like a salary dump. Forget him, just add a pick.

    Jordan might be a nice prospect. haven't seen him play, but he's 7 feet. still trying to figure this one out.

    Actually, Jerome Jordan looks like a very nice prospect. His D-League stats looks good, as well as his Euro stats. Per minute stats in the NBA aren't bad either. He's 7'1" and raw because he started playing basketball late, but he's got the physical tools.

    Jordan is nice prospect.

    harrellson is a center entering his 2nd year in the league, and we have none on the roster. my guess is we'd end up holding on to him.
