    Purely cash for Les' pockets.

    Edit: No cap consequences either way. Though I don't know this for a fact, I don't believe this increases the $3M annual limit on cash that we can send in a trade.

    So Morey put together a pretty damn good deal here and I am happy for Camby.

    All this tells me Morey has a much bigger target now or later and yes he dismantled us in an instant, so crashers.....no more whining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I haven't researched our rookies or new players from MIL because I don't want to get attached to their games. I fully expect this roster to be blown up even more.

    Not sure if anyone's posted this yet:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nJOiSMrJMV0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    In his first start, he posted 14 points, going 4-8 from the 3 point line, and 12 rebounds. Not too bad. And he's only 23!

    The draft picks are a thank-you gift for delivering Camby, who wouldn't have signed with Knicks for the minimum or bi-annual.

    Why not? Camby is likely leaving either way. It's my understanding that their contracts would all expire next season anyways, so if they don't work out it doesn't hurt us financially. Tony Douglas' qualifying offer is 3 mil next season.

    Do we need those roster spots for something better?

    If we aren't going anywhere this year, if we are truly committed to the rebuilding and we're selling off everyone for draft picks and cap flexibility than we might as well make this move. Get a look at some more young guys, plus you get a decent pg in Tony Douglas.

    Only 25
    Good defender
    Athletic and aggressive

    Streaky shooter
    Not best play maker

    The others I don't know about and too lazy too research atm.

    How does this effect the Jeremy Lin situation?

    Nothing a little cardio can't fix.
