    I'm just wondering if the other 3 teams had lube when they raped the Magic. I mean seriously, this was as dumb a mov as youcan make. They actually tok o salary if the proposed trade is accurate. They got rid of Rchardso's contract and added Harrington and Afflalo's contracts.

    I'm curious to see if Denver is going to trade either Gallo or Chandler. They'll have 3 small forwards getting paid handsomely. I'd suspect one has to go.

    Bleacher Report is bout the only people that think this was a good trade for Orlando (and theyre idiots anyway). I would be surprised if they made the playoffs. I also think Philly, while geting Bynum is an upgrade, will be easier for us to beat. Who's their go to wing player now? Plus, who's gonna guard Melo?

    I think Denver willuse Iggy as a sg. Philly will use Turner young at sg and Wright jason at the SF.

    I think your assessment of the Melo factor isnt accurate. Melo can get his but stop the rest of the Knicks.

    Orlando got what they wanted.....picks, fresh start, contract dumps, no more drama.

    LA essentially trades Bynum for Dwight

    Philly gets the star they crave.

    Denver upgrades with Iggy.

    Everyone won, there was no fleecing involved in this one.

    Not really. What contract dump? They actually took on 2 big contracts in Afflalo and Harrington. J Rich makes about the same as Afflalo and has less years. I thought the contract they were tryna get rid of was Hedo.

    After seeing Melo drop the numbers he's dropping in less than 20 minutes this summer, I feel fairly secure in my assessment. Him and Amare can get theirs. I'm just curious as to who's gonna guard him.

    Overall, I thought they had a mediocre offseason altogether. The gained Bynum and Young. They lost Brand, Iggy and Lou Will. I like the acquisition of Moultrie but I don't expect him to ocme out the gates making a huge impact. I think we match up well against them as long as Tyson does what he got paid for.

    it's a team game. it doesn't matter too much if melo "gets his" at the expense of team cohesion and synergy... which was the same exact problem with stoudemire his first season here. yes the knicks were at a respectable 28-26 as of the trade for melo but stoudemire burned himself out during that first 54 games by barreling into three defenders and never finding open teammates. people like to overlook that fact by applauding the asinine notion of "beasting" or "putting the team on his back" and other such nonsense.

    and in acquiring melo the knicks have this same problem doubled, perhaps even squared.

    will woodson figure something out and have a better regular-season record? maybe. but come playoff time it's likely the same old story of stat and melo not being able to enhance the other and relying on a crappy felton and an old and perhaps still-creative facilitator in jason kidd. woodson isn't exactly a genius and gets exposed in the playoffs.

    [COLOR="Red"]Obviously you saw what happened last year. Melo can score 40 every night and lets say he hits 50%.... Someone else has to be able to score as well. To assume Stats uninfluential scoring is a legit 2nd option has gotten the Knicks no where.

    Its funny how even the espn link implies the Knicks arent better than last year because of our own merit but its based on what other teams did or didnt do.[/COLOR]

    Philly is getting way over-rated. The Eastern Conference is Miami and a bunch of "also-rans". Philly is not markedly better than any of the rest of the pack.

    Their projected rotation is not nearly as good as fans/media is implying it is.

    Starters
    Point Guard: Jrue Holiday
    Shooting Guard: Evan Turner
    Small Forward: Dorell Wright
    Power Forward: Spencer Hawes
    Center: Andrew Bynum

    Bench
    6th Man: Thaddeus Young
    7th Man: Jason Richardson/Nick Young
    8th Man: Kwame Brown/Lavoy Allen
    Bench Scoring Specialist: Jason Richardson/Nick Young
    Bench Big Man: Kwame Brown/Lavoy Allen/Arnett Moultrie
    Third-String Forward: Lavoy Allen/Arnett Moultrie

    That front court looks pretty good on paper, but they traded away their best player for a giant teenager with dodgy knees. Iffy.

    On the other hand, of the course the second best center in the league just got sent to the Atlantic division for no reason. And with the Knicks' fans luck, of course it will pan out.

    I think nick young takes evan turner's spot.
