    Jordan might be a decent starter now and backup later on .. Size and athleticism

    Harrelson is a legit backup

    Toney Douglas is the best player in this deal. FANTASTIC perimeter defender... One of the very best in the NBA...

    Is he a pg or 2 .. If he is any good why did he have trouble in NY ? They haven't exactly had the best back court with injuries etc.

    If you had Shrumpert, would you trade him for Camby?

    A 7'1 big with skills over Tony Douglas any day. Might as well replace the veteran big (Since Knicks are in win now mode) for the project big. Who looks very good btw.

    Rockets are trying to corner the market in non-guaranteed/partially guaranteed contracts. If the Rockets make a trade for a big name, these non-guaranteed contracts will be used to match the salary of the big name.

    I think Morey is still trying hard for Howard or another big name. The other team would prefer non-guaranteed contracts that they can just waive instead of an actual player. For instance, the Magic want to lose and lose a lot next year. They don't want a player like Scola that has a lot of years left and could actually cost them a top 3 pick by winning some games.
