I think Harrington should have gotten like a C, maybe a C+. Gallo a B. I would give Lee an A- (top grade for the team). Duhon an F. Chandler a B.

I would mean, Chandler for Parker-plus.. draft pick, Tiago Splitter, something like that.

I guess the sign and trades depend on what Lee’s offers are, where he’s willing to go. Sure, much rather have Parker than nothing – he’s a good player.

“David Lee for Tony Parker? No thanks…, More like Chandler for Parker…”

Really?

First off, why “no thanks”? If Lee is destined to leave NY, a Parker deal gets good value in return, at a position we need, at a reasonable rate. It also maintains our 2011 cap space, as Parker would be on the last year of his deal.

Secondly, the only way Chandler can be traded for Parker is if Eddy Curry is included. (Deal Breaker!)

game 6 of Boston/Cleveland is the biggest game for the Knicks franchise in a long, long time. suck it up and root for the Celtics to embarrass Cleveland again, Orlando is going to crush them next round anyway.

Salmons at $10 million or JJ at $16 million – close call as to which is more ludicrous..

David Lee for Tony Parker? No thanks…, More like Chandler for Parker.. I don’t think it’s gonna happen, but I’m a Parker fan.

Ive heard/read some rumors about the Knicks being interested in Tony Parker. Possibly a sign and trade deal for Lee and some other piece. He would be a great addition because he is so lethal on pick and roll situations. Plus Mike D’s style opens up the floor more for Parker and saves his body more.

I dont know about you guys but Im really keen on going after Salmons instead of JJ. The Fish would go for far cheaper and for great value. Considering how bad Johnson played and getting close to 30 years old it doesnt bode well to offer him a max contract.

And if my math is correct. We should still be able to offer a max contract since Parker is owed 13.5 for next season, Salmons would command somewhere near 9-10 mill and if the cap does increase we should have space.

they got Shaq and Jamison for essentially nothing because that’s what they’re worth without LeBron on their team, especially given their contracts. Orlando’s done a much better job surrounding their young franchise player with talent, and in less time.

I seriously doubt LeBron is going to cross
the Knicks off his list because Spike Lee is rooting for the Celtics. If LeBron does not come here it will be for other reasons.

Dear Abbey -

I’m suggesting he is confident in Cavs management because they built a team that won 66 games and flipped essentially nothing for Shaq and Jamison. And he doesn’t feel salty towards them to the extent that he feels he needs to play for a new team like Shaq did towards Kupchak in L.A. or D’Antoni did towards Steve Kerr in PHX.

I know during LeBron’s career that the Cavs have let Andre Miller and Carlos Boozer skip town but those were Paxson’s/Gund’s mistakes not Ferry’s/Gilbert’s. The Larry Hughes signing was a desperate move to find LeBron his Pippen.

I’m not saying that he won’t decide NY is a better opportunity. I just think that the view that he would leave his hometown and forgo signing the biggest contract that he can (w/ the Cavs) because the Cavs are getting older may not get past the Celts (Celts DO have KG, Rondo, Pierce, Allen AND not to mention LBJ probably feels like he is seriously under-performing due to the bad elbow) is narrow.
