I was always heated that we threw in Moz in the Melo deal. And I think Donnie was too.

At the time I didn't care because D'Antoni wasn't even giving him consistent PT and he definitely hadn't adjusted to the NBA game yet. He's flourishing now though, turned into a real good big man. NYK international scouts known what they doing....who would've thought

THJR / Mudiay / Greek = fast break
If T'wolves do not select a big, we have a shot at Towns.

**** you JR. Hope for more of the same this series. ******* mental ******
Read an interesting theory once that including Moz in the Melo deal cost the Knicks CP3. Maybe it was in here even but idk so figured id bring it up in case it wasnt spoken about in here although im sure I have mentioned it in one rant or another if it hasnt been brought up elsewhere.
Basically was about how CP3 had a lot of interest in the Knicks esp due to his relationship with Melo but the Knicks didnt have the cap for him when he hit the market because we spent it on Tyson. If we didnt include Moz in that deal we likely wouldnt have had to go after Tyson thus we likely could have gotten CP3
At the end of the day it was always Amare who truly held us back. Its hard to pin it all on him because he was the first of the bunch to come aboard and its tough to have that kind of foresight when you have no big fish on the roster, but its sad but true. Injuries + lack of defense + inability to coexist with Melo (even though we didnt even have Melo at the time) made STAT a disaster here.
CP3, Melo, Tyson could have realistically beat the Heat and competed for a title. They probably would have won the East this year TBH.
And about Monroe, still dont like it. I will admit he is an intriguing talent, likely would do flourish offesnively in the traditional triangle, and is only 24, but he is not what is needed next to Melo especially if we draft Mudiay, which would require getting out on the run and pushing the confines of the prototypical triangle.
I could rant all day about why/why not I like him or not, but at the end of the day, it would be a similar type of signing to what Amare was to me. A big fish for the sake of catching a big fish.
At the end of the day, your end game should always be a title, no matter how far fetched that might seem at the time. Do you honestly think even at their highest ceiling, Melo and Greg Monroe would ever be able to win a championship playing together making a combined close to $200 million??
I don't see any possible way that can possibly happen. Getting Monroe is a great way to get back into the playoff picture in the weak East, but never truly compete for a title IMO. So I will pass on Greg.

I remember I was not very happy that we used our amnesty clause on Billups after picking up option on him. I liked Chandler, but I didn't want to waste our amnesty clause on an expiring contract.

You know what got me really tight was when we used the amnesty clause on Billups because we picked his option up the week before we amnestied him so if we didn't pick up his expensive option which we shouldn't have anyway we could've just signed Tyson with no issue.
If we didn't use the amnesty on Billups we could've amnestied Amare whenever we wanted.....
