    That's exactly what I thought. Man, good 'ol knicks. Morey is on the verge of getting the Rockets Howard and the Knicks are on the verge of getting Bargnani to start in front of Stoudamire.

    Camby didn't stay in shape for a team like the Knicks so no way he's going to work hard to be on the Raptors roster. He'll play a few games and retire. Amazing the difference even a few months make, he was looking great in Portland and playing with us it seemed he really turned the clock back. Then fast forward to now and he's a shell of what he used to be. Novak is still an okay player but those picks probably won't be much. Raptors can do much better. I don't know what the Knicks nor the Raptors are thinking..

    Multiplied by only 66 games the last 2 years.

    Camby was such a bad signing for the Knicks. I guess the complaints by the Blazers fans that Camby only showed up in contract years was true.

    Are you kidding? Raptors are beyond lucky they didn't have to give away draft picks for someone to take on that horrendous deal.

    I've only read one 1st rounder and one 2nd rounder. I think it's a good deal for the Knicks until you look at the cap situation.

    Knicks lost to the Pacers largely due to their lack of rebounding, so they get a 7 footer who doesn't rebound either.

    LOL.

    Miami was interested in Camby. I guess they offered long contracts as the only way to lure Kidd and Camby from other offers.

    Felton for 4 years, player option last year, is a bit odd too.

    Felton & Camby were signed and traded to NY.

    S&T contracts must be 3 years but no longer than 4. 1st year is guaranteed, the rest can be non-guaranteed.

    Fans like 2 laff at the Knicks, but Felton did alright last year and they certainly had the last laugh when Houston unloaded Delfino, Brooks and TRob (5th pick) because Lin jumped in the air, threw a pass to no one and no one would take his contract to make way for Dwite.

    Money is no option for them and 2nd round picks are always overvalued by fans, so it's a good trade. Bargnani will float around the perimeter as a 3 or mobile 4. Still a terrible playoff team, even if Amare has a healthy season.

    Let's get Camby back as a backup! Let him negotiate a buyout and then sign with us for the vet minimum :grin:. He lives in Houston, doesn't he?

    Wasn't Grunwald 2nd place in voting behind Masai Ujiri?

    How amazing it was that he turned down one overhyped scrub and turned him into 3 players (Kidd, Camby, and Novak)?

    Now he's turned them into Bargs and lost picks.

    Andrea Bargnani deal agreed to in principle. Can't be completed until July 10.

    lol Knicks can thank Jerem Lin for that contract they gave Novak. Not a bad deal, 2016 first round pick gonna be 20ish anyway.
