Why would the Bulls do that? They don’t get any salary cap help this summer and you can take it to the bank that JJ, TT and AR are going to get less than ten total minutes over the course of this season and next.

I guess they’d rather write three worthless checks rather than one.

I actually don’t like this one as much…with the way N8’s playing right now, can’t you send him out and include Curry’s contract? Or am I deluding myself?

Robinson
Could the Knicks make three deals today? Sources say the Kings have offered Kenny Thomas for Nate Robinson and Jared Jeffries. If the Knicks could move Jeffries, it would clear another $6.8 million in the summer of 2010.

The Knicks would have to give up the talented Robinson and eat Thomas’ $8.7 million salary next year … but it’s probably worth it to the Knicks. Especially now that they’ve shored up their offense with the deals for Larry Hughes and Chris Wilcox.

we basically get two for one, really; everyone besides TT was out of the rotation. our front line is bigger and we have a real 2 guard now.

chicago’s rhetoric is really simple; Hughes has an albatross contract and was the odd man out in their backcourt rotation. at least TT has 3-point range, which could work in a drive-and-kick type system. also, the Bulls might have reason to believe that JJ could crack their rotation at the 5. it’s actually a decent fit for both teams.

as for OKC, keeping Wilcox would be awkward after the failed Chandler deal. so they ship him out for M. Rose (prob a Presti fave from the Spurs days), and at least get some veteran leadership. who knows, maybe they can even sign him on the cheap next season if he likes it there.

edit: just saw the Nate deal, and even though I love Nate i think we gotta pull the trigger. if we move him, we get to keep D-Lee, and then we might get two superstars in 2010.

Wilcox was the big catch (sorry Larry Hughes fans!). He plays like a poor homeless man’s Amare Stoudemire in the pick and roll (Gimme; I’ll dunk the bitch). He and D-Lee should be pretty fun to watch. This probably won’t necessarily do wonders for our defense, but we should see a spike in the “Points in the paint” category, opening up the 3-ball a little more. While we just got rid of TT, a definite 3-point threat, we must keep in mind:

In Cock we trust.

Fuck Larry Hughes, I don’t care what anybody says. I’ve probably watched him play in over 75 games. He’s a weird asshole.

R.I.P. Big Snacks

Tim Thomas for Larry Hughes is kind of a wash – one waste of talent for another, though at least Hughes can play the 2.

Getting rid of four players to get 2 is a bonus, because now we can bring in some D-League guys.

Getting Wilcox could be very good. He’s only 27, and only has 1 year for $6.75 mil on the contract. If he works, awesome. If not, no big worries.

2010 is still in place. Nate, Lee, and Chandler are still Knicks. Can’t complain too much.

now im just confused with the mins situation. we really only moved 1 guy with any value for 2 guys id imagine r gonna play.

Pg: Duhon Nate
Sg: Chandler (i kno he’s not but hes getting mins there) Q Hughes
Sf:Harrington Cock
Pf: Lee
C:jeffires Wilcox

a lot of people going for mins there. I think wilcox has a chance to crack the rotation right away and eventually take the starting center job from jeffries. I’m kinda torn on hughes. ive watched him play great and really shut people down. ive also seen him with a crawford impression minus the skills which isnt pretty.

I’m hoping for a Duhon Wil Harrington Dlee Wilcox lineup in the next coming weeks with nate cock jeffries and hughes off the bench.

2 b honest ive never been much of a Q fan and i really wouldnt mind if he was out of the rotation. For every good game he has theirs 3 bad ones and even tho his D isnt completely done i wouldnt mind a fresh face in hughes taking those mins away. D’antoni’s not gonna play 10 guys so i think 1 of them are gonna b the odd ones out

sidenote: larry hughes has a teardrop tatoo like those hood guys who kill people. i know its for his brother but still its cool. Q rich is kinda chunky. so he already wins the appearance portion of the contest.

Hopefully gallo and wilson can really shine now. those 2 r my guys and i really cant stand harrington. he plays just like jamal did but for some reason this didnt bother me as much. crawford at least made it appear like he wanted to run an offense and would even have those random 7 assist games pop up every once and a while. i can tell u when harringtons about to shoot it within .003 seconds after he gets the ball. we can deal with it for now bcuz we’re not exactly loaded offensively so the scoring load has 2 come from somewhere but still if we can slowly but surely improve the young guns this will b a non issue.

the season should b fun from here on out. we have the type of team 2 make a playoff run and with the 4-7 seeds all neck and neck even a 1st round win isnt completely unheard of. i mean it is but im happy over trades and thinking way 2 highly of them right now.

worst comes 2 worst we crumble as always and the stephen curry hasheem thabeet talks start. hopefully just a bit later than they did last year.

most tatted up knick ever?
