    I'm just glad we didn't get Larry "I'm not looking to win, I just want to have fun playing" Hughes. I know he probably wouldn't be playing anyway, but I'm still glad he's not coming here.

    Not bad. Except JJ. Everytime this guy does something he acts like he is the greatest thing to walk the earth. Just wait, he will go 1-8 and the one shot he does make he will get this look and start strutting like a Greek God.

    A source told ESPN.com that the Knicks pick in 2011 is Top 5 protected. In 2012 the Knicks pick is only Top 1 protected

    Holy crap. Morey is like some kind of demon god of basketball, working dark sorcery to make his will be done :eek:

    Now if he can trade Battier, Ariza, or Andersen for expirings and a pick--or a solid young backup center--this will be the perfect trade deadline.

    After this trade, the team can win some big if Yao and martin can stay on the floor. Morey shall get raise sooner.

    Morey just turned an aging outgoing player and a second round pick (Landry) into Kevin Martin and essentially three first round picks (possibly all lottery).

    I'm a little concerned about our cap situation now, but when you're getting this much I think you have to just take it and worry about everything else later.

    Okay, so next year I want the Knicks to suck real bad but I want 5 other teams to suck even worse, then the year after that I am rooting for the Knicks to stink it up on a whole new level and for the Clippers to not be disbanded. Got it.

    The word is the 2011 swap is unprotected and the 2012 pick is top 10 protected.

    The only thing I'm not seeing is that chicken and rice stand that Morey supposedly negotiated into the New York portion of the deal... :p

    I feel like a crack head who hasn't gotten a fix in weeks. I'm so jittery and on edge. Morey wins big again. Simply Amazing!!!

    What I wouldn't do for a compilation of all the "Morey is an idiot" rants.. Why dont we give Morey the benefit of the doubt.. lol..

    Jordan Hill, Kevin Martin and 2 picks? That's remarkable..

    The first bad game Hill has you know the haters will come out saying we should have kept Landry... you just can't please everybody.

    Really good deal for the Rockets. We have always needed a good SG on the floor with Yao and we finally got one. That helps Brooks and Ariza this year as well. I'm not expecting a whole lot from J Hill this year. I think he is a work in progress. Has natural talent, just needs some good instruction to go along with that. People shouldn't expect him to be a starter for atleast another 2 years or so.

    The picks are great as well. More chips to bargain with this summer or next deadline. Or pluck another young talent from the draft to add to the fold.

    Our GM does a great job with building this team in a very efficient manner. We are lucky to have him. Now lets watch these new parts gel and make something happen....
