    Honestly, I think the Ron Baker signing is better than the Tim Hardaway deal. 4 million a year for a smart, backup combo guard that gives you some hustle and ruggedness isn't too bad.

    Good point, I didn't see that. Looking at their contracts, those top 5 guys salary wise (Melo, Noah, Hardaway, Lee & Thomas) are basically doo-doo for 80 million dollars. Just terrible value deals. Seems to me like it is just a matter of time before Kristaps leaves the Knicks.

    If that is your Starting 5 (?), ...

    It seems Knicks are sending out every indication that Melo is gone and not part of the team, WITH HIM STILL ON THE TEAM!!. That seems so Fing weird to me. Trade him, cut him, buy him out. Something. They just seem to be ignoring him. Like he doesn't exist. So if they don't want Ryno, do they plan on just sitting Melo? Crazy ass scenario. I can't make sense of it. It hurts my head.

    makes sense because they already agreed to a trade Melo for RA by the training camp. or any other better trade that comes up before that time.

    I don't listen to any sources real or fake. I just put 2+2 together. Where there is smoke there is fire. And this has been a wildfire for almost 3 months. Next days will be telling.

    I'd normally believe this as well...but at some point the fire burns out.

    Really. Did he just call you Buffalo Bill? "Lotion in the basket"?

    "It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.....It puts the lotion in the basket....."

    Now, I never had you pegged as Silence of the Lambs-ish, but.....that's near as I can remember the terminology.

    We didn't start the fire. It was always burning, since the world was turning.

    Like I've said when media is reporting a trade is close it usually doesn't happen. When things are quiet and seem dormant is usually when you get the bomb and it goes down.
