What do NYK fans want the team to do? Add some players and limit cap space in order to make a run at 7th or 8th in the East and get demolished in the 1stround?
The team has been crap for a while now, 1 more year wont be so bad. This time next year you'll have another lottery pick on the roster along with boatloadsof cash to throw at free agents. July 2010 isn't that far off.

Co-Sign. Parker isn't that much of an upgrade over Sasha. He's so up and down and like Carlos said he just waits in the corner. And Moonis half ratarded, you guys are gonna hate having him on the floor when he subs in for LeBron. Moon is worthless in half court sets.

the knicks don't have a 1st round pick next year. I think the jazz have it. We may not even have boatloads of cash to offer because of the capthat could shrink up to 10 percent
thank isiah
and the espy's are a bs popularity contest. They are in no way relevant

Somebody from ESPN tweeted about why Boozer won't come to NY; the Jazz have NY's first round pick for next year, which is unprotected. Why would theJazz trade Boozer to NY and decrease their chances of getting a high draft pick?
Second, Nash is close to signing that extension with PHX. FML.

Courtney Lee was a rising star?
He was a 23 year old rookie, on a very good team assigned to specific roles.
regardless of that, What part of his game can he really expand that much more?

Is him being the next John Starks all that impressive?
If I were the Magic I would have much rather kept Ryan Anderson.

Olympiacos have set theireyes on Denver Nuggets forward Linas Kleiza. The club is looking for a replacement for Giorgos Printezis who signed with Unicaja and Kleiza lookslike a good option. Redplanet.gr reports that the player is asking for 3.5 million euros per season which is more than Olympiacos are willing to pay to securehis services. TalkBasket.net
"My hope is that weget (Anthony Carter) and (Linas Kleiza) back in a happy manner," Karl said. "Free-agency right now, both of them are looking for a better deal thanwhat is out there. Maybe they'll get it, maybe they won't. I would like to keep our team fairly intact from last year along with (Arron)Afflalo and Ty. I think that would be a good step. Our improvement is going to come with our younger players mostly meaning Nene, Melo and J.R (Smith). Peopledon't understand that we are a fairly young basketball team. The nucleus, we have four or five guys under the age of 25 or 26 years of age. They made somebig steps last year, but there is still a window of improvement there." HoopsWorld
The Indiana Pacers will not match the four-year, $20 million offer the Toronto Raptors made to restricted free agent Jarrett Jack, Jack told TheIndianapolis Star in a telephone interview late Sunday night. "It took a minute, but I was able to secure a contract for four years,"Jack said. "I'm looking forward to playing with Chris (Bosh) again. It will be like our freshman year (at Georgia Tech) all over again." Indianapolis Star
Warrick is confident he'llbe back in the mid-South helping the Grizzlies become a more respectable team. But nothing is certain, so he will continue to remain anxious."They definitely said they wanted me back so it's trying to come up with a good number and getting together and seeing how much it's going tobe," he said. "They definitely said they want me back and I am part of the plans." FanHouse.com

Somebody post that trade proposal. How credible that thing is, I dunno, but, Scoop Jackson is a part of it.

If they offer Sessions all that money would the Bucks be able to match that?

Lee and Ryan were both being looked at by both teams during the draft last year. Both teams nearly drafted the players they traded for.
I think what people forget in all of this is that The Nets still have THREE players from last years draft that can become great players in this league.
We also have Twill from this year to add to YI (He is older but still his age states he is like 22 so I will stick to it. lol.) the Nutcase Sean Williams whois 21. (He has looked good and has stayed out of cell phone stores this summer)
And for those who think C. Lee is starting from day 1, well hope that CDR is injured or plays horrible in the pre-season because we still have him too. TheNets are not going to be as good as last year right now on paper but they have developed a nice young nucleus of guys that will hopefully develop nicely.
I just think though with all of the money problems that this team has and the Draft picks we have the next two years to three years. (3 first round picks withthe possibilty of a 4th and 2 second round picks that could turn into 3 - Golden state pick is lottery protected for another 2 seasons and if they are still inthe lottery, we get 2 second round picks.) we will be the Oakland A's of the NBA.
Brook, C. Lee, and Probably TWILL are the only Untouchables the Nets have right now. Devin they would trade if they got the right player in return. (ex:All-Star type player)

They can match if they want to since he's restricted. I believe they won't though since they have 62mil in salaries already.

James Jones from Chicago to Utah.
Cost cutting move for Houston as both players numbers come off the books after this season. Ariza slides to his natural position, the 3. Still, I'd muchrather have Utah include the Knicks 1st round pick.
2 lottery picks, more room to sign a big time FA, and hopefully a healthy Yao for 2010.
On the flipside, Shane Battier and Brewer is pretty solid defensively, and that's a pretty solid starting 5 for Utah, with Landry, AK47 and CJ Miles offthe bench.
