Good morrow, beaugregories. Sorry if posting's been a little slow while each of the P&T bros is out of their respective towns. Nevertheless, I've got some links to share with y'all.
Jump if you dare.
- Muntjacs are also known as barking deer...because they bark. It's terrifying. Also, these bad boys are native to South Asia, but it seems like some of our Posters & Toasters in England might have encountered one before.
- Gian passed along this article about Toney and Harry Douglas. It's the usual reminder that Toney's brother plays for the Falcons, but it also comes with this earth-shattering quote:
"I have no friends, really. My friend is my brother," said Toney, 18 months younger than Harry, who turns 26 in September.
Toney, I see what you're getting at, but you've got plenty of friends at P&T. Don't ever forget it.
- Marc Berman reflects on the draft night decision between Danilo Gallinari and Anthony Randolph and the serendipity of the two ending up together this season.
- D-League Digest has been grading teams' use of D-League resources, and the Knicks' report card doesn't look great. New York's had their share of call-ups, but Earl Barron's mini-renaissance last season is the most they have to show for it. [Spills some out for Cheikh Samb.]
- With another signing of Patrick Ewing Jr. comes another debate regarding his jersey number. I doubt Pat Jr. will even ask for #33, but it's an interesting question. I say he's only allowed to wear 33 if he wears the actual uniform that was retired. Watching a guy run around in a giant jersey that's been gathering dust for a years would be worth the historical smearing.
- Biggest free agency news of the summer, y'all. Quincy Douby:
My agent is talking to the Suns, Knicks, Cavaliers, and Bulls. We're trying to see what situation will be the best for me to just get on the team and give a contribution," he said.
- Matt Moore talkin' sense about the Carmelo Anthony situation. We must always remember that rumors have sources, and sources have agendas.
- Andy Rautins has a knee injury?
With that, I leave you. Have splendid days, friends.

Anthony Randolph
is up to 225 says Berman, very nice
i hope that he can grow like javele mcgee did for washington
dude was a frail body when coming into the league..now he looks the type of body that you want out of a center
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Douby's a decent player
would’ve probably rather had him then Ewing Jr….or maybe that’s still possible? Dunno.
Matt Moore makes sense on the Melo situation. Melo wants to be traded. The Nuggest want to trade him to a team that gives them the most.
But said team must be one that Melo wants to go to, cuz no one’s gonna give up anything unless the guy’s signing the papers for the 3yrs..plain and simple.
And if he’s signing in Minnesota or Sacramento or NJ…who cares? I highly doubt he’s doing that, since that’s basically taking 5 steps back from Denver.
Even as that supporting cast ages in Denver, over the next 2-3 years they’re still better then the Kings, Wolves and Nyets for Melo.
And it seems that the NY stuff is completely on the back burner..of course. But I still haven’t gotten the sense that its not his #1 destination. He’s basically a final piece for a team like the Rockets…and are him, Brooks and Kevin Martin a “big 3”? They’re all volume shooters…how does that work?
Melo will be a Knick. I still have never had much doubts of this. Only question is when and on what terms.
Depending on who the Kings give up in exchange for Melo
That could be a dangerous team. If they could get Denver to take Jason Thompson, Carl Landry, 2 first round picks and some contract filler they’d have a core of Evans/Melo/Cousins and become a mid-seed playoff team in the West pretty quick.
The problem is, Sacramento makes Denver look like the most happening town you’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine someone who wants the bright lights wanting anything to do with that sleepy little berg. Also, realistically they’d probably have to give up either Evans or Cousins so there goes that whole plan.
Houston could be a threat, but if the Nuggets really liked the package of Battier/Jeffries/Hill and picks and Carmelo liked the idea of the Rockets, that trade would have happened already. The only real dark horse I think is the Mavs, as Cuban is just crazy enough to bet that Melo can get Dirk and Kidd over the hump this year. Once you get that ring it gets a lot harder to be like “well, that was fun… I’ll be in NYC if you guys wanna hang out sometime.”
It would be a helluva good look 4 da Kings
but like you said, I don’t see him leaving Denver to go to a town like Sacramento. There is no competitive or business advantage. According to what’s out there he wants to build a bigger brand for himself and his wife wants back on TV, so I’m guessing it’ll be some team in NY or LA provided he and the Nuggets don’t work things out.

Melo is holding all the cards
in this situation as you suggest and NY is clearly his preference. However, absorbing Melo’s 17 M contract is no easy matter. This year is unlikely unless we can get rid of Eddy’s contract. plus 6 M more. Who would we have to give up? Would Denver be prepared to wait the whole year? I think not.
the trade is no problem to NY
Denver I doubt is high and mighty enough to think they’d contend if they traded Melo.so they’re gonna want young players and draft picks, but with that $17mil the only way he can be traded is if there’s big contracts traded to Denver; expiring contracts.
So Curry is actually an asset that not many other teams have…he’s a big expiring contract
This is just adding up numbers, but if you put together Curry’s $11+, Buike’s $3+ and Chandler’s $2.5+…that’s basically within the range where you can trade.

Eddy Curry has a $5mm trade kicker
So his contract jumps to $16mm for this last year if he’s traded.* That’s why the offer that was reportedly made of Curry, Gallo and a pick actually works if Denver wants it/ends up settling for it.
*normally I’d be shaking my fist at Isiah for this but in this case it would actually help us. Shit it would be the best thing Curry has ever done for this team.
Ewing Jr.
should wear 34, 44, 66, 6 or 3.
I am a fan of both the mets and knicks... so just kill me now.
Nothing on Melo's Twitter escapades?
Probably for the best.
I like Quincy Douby, nice player to have around.
Melo will not go to one of those three teams. That rumor’s out there because the Nuggets want Lopez/Favors, Cousins, or Love.
Your sig confuses me.
Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Yeah?

I'm glad TD is so family orientated
not that I thought he would before but i think it makes him less likely to dumb out and do absurd shit like carrying a hot firearm in his sweat pants while drunk or fathering 8 bastid children or hunting homeless people for game etc…

or Sean Avery?
Awesome.

Who's Larry Brown?
Is anyone watching the Liberty?
I'm a diehard Cavs fan, proud to say I never owned a LeBron jersey.
79-66
81-66: We swept the Purple and Gold at Staples!
The Sparks? Check. The Mercury? Fuck the repeat. This ain't 2007. Storm all the way, baby!
I thought that Pat Sr. Said
that Jr. Could wear #33 if he made the team and wanted to wear the number.
As for Randolph he has bulked up according to everybody. Remember the guy just turned 21 so he will probably fill out some more before he is through. I am excited about the possibility of him teaming with Gallo and Stat on the floor at the same time. Through Mozgov out there and that would be a very big lineup.

Seth, what are you going to do when you run out of wacky mammals to profile?
I vote for a switch to birds. They’re like little dinosaurs!
Good question.
I guess I’ll start breeding creatures to make new species. If there’s ever a switch, though, it’d definitely be to reptiles.
you could start with each of the
teenage mutant ninja turtles. Id say they each deserve a re-cap of their own!
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
In that case, I look forward to some giant, barking squirrels
and flying deer
am I weird?

Anyone see the movie Splice where the she creature decides to ravish Adrian “whatever his last name with the weird nose’s” character and she uses her leg appendage to grip the pole during his inhabitation of her…ummm…delicate place.
Anyone else think that was hot? I can’t be the only one…I’m liable to drug my girlfriend and splice her up so she can grow one of those very same appendages
