Lol I wondered that exact same thing. I thought to myself, Damn. He is taking the whole "flop" thing literally. Looked like a spontaneous breakdancing session.

SMC Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Another loss, but Fisher playing Melo 40 minutes a game on a bad knee for the last 6 games is stupid. Melo is still an asset and they need to keep him healthy for life of contract. They need to shut him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombdirt Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 So yesterday my mother-in-law got me tickets to the March 4 game against the Pacers in Indy as a gift. This team's a dumpster fire now; it's gonna be a big smoldering pile of douche by then. I'm still really looking forward to it, though. I don't get to go to many games and I had a blast the last time I went to see one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 5-29 to close out 2014 with a stranglehold of 2nd seed and striking distance of Philly, who will drop to 2nd with 1 more win. Okafor or Towns, here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombdirt Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 You'll still have a good time they're great experiences. Congrats on your gift, have fun! Thanks! I'm sure I will have a good time. I like going to Indianapolis; there are some pretty good bars and lots of stuff to do in the downtown area. I've been to a couple of Jets games over there and a Knicks game a couple of seasons ago. From my experience the Indy fans are pretty nice and hospitable for the most part, probably because they haven't had to deal with a lot of suck in their teams over the past several years. I guess going straight from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck puts people in a good mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been awhile since I paid attention to basketball, but doesn't the season have 82 games? You're keeping track of wins like it's a horse race, and you have over 40 games to go.

Its hard to make up games in the loss column so if Knicks get top lottery seed by end of this month they'll be in the home stretch.

I can't remember who said it, it might even have been Kobe himself, but they were saying that from a talent standpoint, there's not a whole lot that separates some of the guys who wash out with some of the greats other than that intense work ethic and drive to be the best.

Pretty nuts Shumpert got us nothing in return other than ridding ourselves of JR. And JR had a trade kicker in his contract lol. And you guys hated my CAA stuff.

Bugg Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Getting to the point that Jackson will shut down Anthony and look to trade him at the end of the season if not sooner for draft picks. It's clear Jackson sees no value in Anthony other than hat he can get in a trade. Basically this season is a teardown with finding out if he has any worthwhile players on the roster and if Fisher can be a decent coach. And to his credit in this case so far looks like Jackson has made Dolan understand where this is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Melo's virtually untradeable unless the Lakers say F it. He's not going to go anywhere else. Perhaps, but I see the tweets from the writers that JR's trade kicker has to be paid by the Knicks. If that's the case, then the Knicks could pay Melo's trade kicker with the ton of cap space they'll have next year PLUS, remember, they just got a combined $8.5 million trade exception from the JR/Shump trade. In other words, with Melo's salary being $22.8 million next year, the Knicks can trade him to a team, pay the trade kicker, and Melo would only count as $14.3 on the other team's cap next year with the combined trade exception.

I didn't realize the Knicks could take on that cost. That's intersting. I still don't see Melo approving anywhere other than LA though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what Begley wrote: Ian Begley@IanBegley 1h1 hour ago Worth noting on J.R. Smith: his contract has a 15 percent trade kicker applied to remaining salary this year. Has to be paid by the #Knicks. I would believe the same applies to Melo's trade kicker. The thing is, the cap is set to explode in 2016-17, so I think a competitive team would be willing to take on Melo's salary for 2015-16, knowing that there will be way more cap room the following year. And I don't think Melo would want to go to LA because Kobe already announced he's retiring after next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
