That might be true...Kwame Brown just tweeted a picture of him and Dwight Howard sharing a Philly cheesesteak

Didn't we just sign Jerry Stackhouse or was that a rumor...I'm not feeling these old ass additions...these are the type of players the Heat can afford to sign and take a chance on to round off their roster...if we had/if we get Dwight then this shit would be an easier pill to swallow

The Nets are cap out. So they have to approach players willing to take the veteran minimum.

Thing here is that Grant and Derek would actually see playing time because the Nets don't have back up sf or pg. Plus they want someone with veteran experience for both spots.

I like Dwight but as you saw this week. I became less of a fan of adding dwight because I start seeing how this team was coming together.

Brook Lopez never had a problem scoring. As Hakeem said Brook is the best offensive big man in the game but he needs to stop settling and learn to pass out of double teams.

This will be the most talented line up brook has played with. I want to see how he does with this team.
 
Ya the one thing I was thinking is if Brook and Humphries (if we can sign him) have decent numbers by the trade deadline then they would make for better bait for pulling in Dwight Howard if he's still on the Magic or unhappy w/ the team he's on @ that time :dunno: here's a funny article about the Stackhouse signing that I kinda agree w/...I woulda felt this way moreso if we traded for Dwight and then signed these type of vets

1. This is an investment for Prokhorov. As we've noted (more than once), Prokhorov slapped down $260 million in May 2010 to buy 80% of the team, 45% of Barclays Center and an option (not yet exercised) to buy up to 20% for the overall Atlantic Yards project with its 16 towers of commercial and residential space. Conservatively, he has doubled his investment. If NBA teams in the league's two smallest markets are worth $335 million, without any ownership in an arena, then what's the value of a team that plays in the nation's largest market, not to mention half of a billion dollar arena. Start the bidding at half a billion. Easy.

League pass will be copped :lol:
 
I Guess they trying to make something happen

Kyrie,Bynum and Waiters would be a nice core..........


Should the Cleveland Cavaliers be able to swing a deal that lands them Andrew Bynum, they would automatically become contenders in the Eastern Conference for years to come.

The possibility of adding Bynum in a three-team blockbuster that would include Dwight Howard has been brought up by Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld:

That site is official...they're the ones who reported the possibility of the 3-way deal between Cavs Nets and Magic which then evolved into a 4 team deal but fell thru...I'm not saying the deal will go thru but I believe trade discussions between those 3 teams are taking place...I hope Dwight still refuses to sign :(

u obsessed with me...wtf
 
wait wait wait wait

If Lin is in Houston now they have no fucking chance at keeping Dwight if this trade goes down. The whole thing was to have cap space to add CP3 to Dwight. Now the only thing you can sell to Dwight is China will know who you are now.

This move happens means the Rockets actually scared the knicks off with their poison contract.

I believe it when I see it though

Darko is a back up center. Looking at the market now he is the best big man out there. Boston and the Nets are showing interest.

problem is will he take the vet minimum or will he go back to Europe and earn more money
Click to expand...

Let his ass go back to Europe :lol: I guess he's better than nothing
 
only reason i can see the knicks passing on Lin is too go after cp3 next summer and too fuck the rockets outta dwight/cp3... or to scare the rockets into rescinding their OS... knicks still haven't responded to Fields OS and they had to do it by noon... but its kinda moot, knicks haven't physically received Lin's OS yet.

Actually according to yahoo and cbs Dolan if this goes down doesn't want to hit the luxury tax which is weird.

The Knicks have two more days to match, but in doing so, they could put themselves are risk for a serious luxury tax bill. As noted by several other outlets, the final season could wind up costing the Knicks $45 million as the luxury taxes grow more stringent over the next few years of the collective bargaining agreement.

As Marc Berman of the New York Post wrote, the Knicks are naturally "unhappy" about the way the contract has been handled by both Houston and Lin. First, the offer didn't go out on July 11th, as expected, and it then took Lin two days to sign it. But nothing was more disconcerting to the Knicks than the price tag, which had previously been quite reasonable.

Houston did lose two point guards this offseason, so it's not unrealistic to believe they could have wanted to make an offer that New York wouldn't match. In any case, the Knicks will probably still match the offer, both Berman and ESPN's Marc Stein agree, but owner James Dolan must be furious knowing that his Knicks will continue to pay more luxury taxes than anyone.

also CP3 is only possible if the Clippers sign and trade him but again the knicks have nothing to offer now.

Felton? Kidd?? No. They can't sign him straight out. The only way a trade happens if CP3 pulls a dwight problem is he isn't demanding a trade and Knicks can't sign him in free agency. they have no cap space.

If this happens. This is about money. Which is weird because you would think Dolan has no problem coming out of pocket unless the new CBA has scared even him off
 
Yea it's luxury tax reasons.

Still I will believe it if I see it. Because if this happens. AND I SAY IF!!!!!!

This would add another owner who had no problem paying the luxury tax in the old CBA all of sudden not willing to do it in this new CBA. Leaving Mickey and Proky.

I will believe it though when I see NY actually saying they aren't matching Lin.

.. who knows...strange shit happens
 
John Hollinger ‏@johnhollinger

If the Knicks are actually worrying about financial repercussions of new tax rules, this is a big win for the new CBA.

WOW

this is blowing my mind :smh::smh:

If this happens don't people know that 4 years from now when it's time for the new CBA it will be even worse.


"The Houston Rockets were able to scare off the New York Knicks from keeping Jeremy Lin"

Now it's not like Lin is CP3 but we know what Lin means $$$$$$$$. Houston gets back the Asian Market and will get some games on TV. I see the point now. Houston will sell to Dwight that Lin can help you do something that Lebron hasn't been able to do. Appeal to the Chinese Market.

Dwight is about money. It could work.
 
Lin didn't want to go back

Marc J. Spears ‏@SpearsNBAYahoo

Luxury tax team NYK fear of matching Lin deal understandable when 3rd year of tough to trade contract would cost $15 million,source tells Y!
Click to expand...

SpearsNBAYahoo: Rockets found loophole that would cost them $8 million on third year of Lin offer sheet and Knicks $15 million, source tells Y! Sports.

David Stern is smiling some where.
