    For not taking any real salary back, this is a pretty good deal. I'm not a fan of Douglas, but as long as he doesn't shoot, he's worth having out there for his defense. At least he takes care of the ball. I think Jordan is an intriguing prospect on measurables alone, but 26 year old projects aren't anything to get excited about. Love the two unprotected 2nd rounders. We know what Morey can do with those.

    All in all a good deal. I was hoping or a 1st rounder, but it's clear that wasn't going t o happen without taking back salary; and it's clear Morey is still chasing Dwight.

    Harrelson is a throw-in

    also he is a knucklehead

    the only valuable part of this trade was Toney Douglass

    nope..nvm. Just Toney Douglas in this deal...nothing to see here.

    I hate posters like you, keepin this stupid morey worship alive



    Yea morey is a genius, morey is a mastermind, in morey we trust, git r done morey, morey is god, blah blah blah bulls**t. :rolleyes:

    Yea hes so far ahead of other gms we havent made da playoffs for 3 years straight and end up wit da 14th pick every year. Genius. Hes way ahead of dumbasses who never went to MIT like Sam Presti or Pat Riley, who are gonna own da league for da next 10 years.


    Nah not impressed by titles or going to da Finals for years in a row, im more impressed by Morey da genius flipping Marcus Camby for a bunch of nobodies and second round picks who aint gonna get us nowhere near a championship. Smmfh. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Yes, Novak was a Morey pick(though CD was in charge)

    The 2nd round pick could also be somebody like Newley, Leunen, Dorsey, or Taylor.

    And we still have a lot of hope for Llull. (or Aldemir)

    Yes, he did.

    I remember JVG telling a story about Morey busting his balls about him not playing Novak enough or something along those lines.

    not all moves are supposed to land superstars dudes! people have no patience! we're gonna suck next year unless theres a big trade but i dont care bc you gotta take a step back if you wana take 3 steps forward.

    Please...show me a General Manager (current or candidate) or offer your own plan that involves turning Marcus Camby into a star.

    Better yet, show me a better deal than what Morey got. Please...i'm waiting...

    Knicks is like our BFF in trading. Love it.

    Also, I don't worship Morey. I said he's the oracle of assets. He's the best GM in handling assets. Really just lacks charisma to acquire superstars. it's not his fault superstars don't wanna go here. Stop hating on Morey. Would you rather be us like the Mavs? Stuck on nothing.

    Atleast we're the NBAs busiest forum, most exciting. Morey needs a reality show.

    Agreed. Look for Morey to try and build up Martin's trade value and move him. I also expect him to take on a junk dead weight 2 year contract for draft picks near the deadline.
