    Can they even afford Dwight? I see Noah going there. There were several rumors that he would end up in NY eventually. Sucks. I really would have liked Noah in Houston. Rockets aren't getting anybody. Loul Deng might be the hottest name we can chase.

    Now they need Dwight or just play Melo at the 4 and Porzingis at the 5.

    I want to see Dwight, Carmelo, Rose, SG black hole, and Porzingis. "Why does Dwight average more FTA than FGA?"

    14 mil for ROLO is a bargain nowadays. Biyombo is about to get 15+! And he is a one way C.
    If the problem NY had was to move the second best value contract of their books to clear capspace then they are doing something very wrong.

    Did the Knicks trade all their backup PG's? I guess they still have Galloway. It's going to be interesting to see the fan reaction on both sides.

    FWIW, I was doing a nba free agent target search yesterday and there were a couple of links about the Bulls being interested in Lin as a possible replacement if they traded Rose.

    Not if you plan to play Porzingis as a 5 long term. Otherwise you have a $14 million backup center.

    I really think Phil doesn't have all that power at this point, these last moves leads me to believe this, Horny, Rose...Dwight is next.

    Cyber just said in the Dwight thread that now NY is very likely to go pay Dwight. So instead they will have a 25 million backup C.

    And Porzingis as a C is very far away. 2 years at least. Otherwise you will kill him.
    Not to mention that according to his coach instead of planning to move him up a position they were looking into turning him into a sf.

    Wow. Is this just a salary dump by the Bulls? I don't get it.

    Meanwhile, did Noah just become available?

    How crazy would it be if the Knicks are actually really good next year? They haven't been seriously good in like 20 years. That's an entire generation of NBA fans who haven't seen a really good Knicks team. No, Linsanity you definitely do not count.
