If we don’t get Melo, I think a trade for Murphy might be a nice move to provide some depth in the playoffs. A Curry + 3 million and a 2nd for Murphy seems like a good trade for both teams. Murphy is an expiring, so he would be a post season rental, and could possibly stay long term if he signs for close to the vet min next year and he is like a bigger, better rebounding Shawne Williams.

@3
why not? can’t we freely renew to players already under contract? I mean, the lakers are maybe the best as we’ve seen yesterday,but they spend 90mil, how can they?
Clearly, this cap rule is a tale you tell to children to get them asleep.
How can nba allow teams to be over the cap 70% or more, a mistery to me.

Screw the Nets, they had the audacity of thinking they matched up well in 1994 with the Knicks and that they were going to upset them in the 1st round. They couldnt even win Game 2 when Ewing was ejected and only played 16 minutes.

Knicks won their 3 games by an average of 10 ppg, the Nets were lucky to win their 1 game (Game 3) by a point in OT when Starks missed a shot at the buzzer (after taking the lead on a dubious foul call with a second left).

on Melo: I think I’ve just reached the point where the best thing getting Melo will do is lead us to get Paul or Williams in 2012. And so it’s worth it, because we won’t be able to afford Gallo or Chandler then anyways.

I pray we have a good defensive outing tonight. The slower pace may help us but we cannot sleep on Lopez. If he gets Mozgov on foul trouble he will eat us up with our penchant to go small. Please MDA do not put Chandler or Extra E on him.

Oh and keep a body on 22Morrow, he can light it up if we don’t.

What happened to Brook Lopez’ rebounding? I know he doubled his season total of double doubles lady night but still. It can’t all be on Humphries being given all the uncontested boards. Harris seems to be scoring less but assists are up the last two weeks. Is that intentional? Vujacic sometimes seems like their best player. Sometimes not. Farmar is OK but when Harris was out the decisionmaking down the stretch by Farmyard was between awful and selfish even tho he had gaudy numbers.
