    His 17/9 stats was from that 50+ games he started in D'Antoni's system, and ran PnR with Amare all game long, before Melo ISO time. It's been downhill for him from there.

    I don't think it was a lie, but rather change of mind (if they do match).

    The Knicks would spin it that way, but I think Felton and his camp would be livid. This entire process has been a calculated move. Reports of the Knicks having interest in Felton (as a Lin alternative) have been out there since July 1, and especially after Felton showed up at Dolan's July 4 gathering. It seems the Knicks had a price point for Lin all along, and when the revised Houston offer exceeded it, they pulled the trigger on Felton.

    If by some chance the Knicks match tonight, either the entire process was a sham to dupe Felton or it's a complete change in philosophy in under 72 hours. Neither one of those will go over well.

    I think you are right. How long was he with Dallas?

    Kevin Martin to MEM for either Josh Selby or Tony Wroten Jr. makes sense. Selby's an explosive, score-first PG in the Francis mold, while Wroten looks like a Tyreke clone. Both are very intriguing.

    Those two guys make about a million...in order for the trade to work, we would have to receive many more millions from them.

    Would be nice though.

    I gave you rep because most ****ty posters would of started a new thread in the GARM asking this question and you correctly did not. You are part of the solution, not the problem.

    Theoretically, tonight.

    In reality, Stern swoops in and gives the Knicks two more days due to basketball reasons.

    That scenario wouldn't surprise me one damn bit. How I hope it doesn't happen.

    edit: I don't see that report in the Times., Fullcourt.

    He was with them for summer league 2010. I pulled some quotes below from a July 17, 2010 article when he was about to make the team. But, read the whole thing. He ended up not signing with Dallas, but instead with GS on July 21, 2010. I think it is interesting to look back, read some of the quotes about him with the benefit of hindsight.
