    Lin would not be a bad option as a 3rd guard behind Dame/CJ. Better than anyone we currently have, IMO.

    Apparently he talks to himself a lot. So, technically he isn't lying.

    I'll take my chances with shabazz. I think he's pretty good, and another year of development would be nice.

    They're also getting Harkless. That was my point. With Harklesss and Hardaway Jr., Crabbe would be a $21 million a year bench player.

    In the post you quoted, they weren't. That deal had them receiving Crabbe, Leonard, and Vonleh.

    I was responding to a specific trade scenario that had both Harkless and Crabbe going to the Knicks.

    Oops, my bad. So many trade machine posts, I'm getting them confused.

    And Milwaukee gives up nothing. Ryan Andersons contract is not an albatross. He's a really good player.

    As mentions a couple of times earlier, I have several contacts throughout the league and one of them is in NY but affiliated much more with the Nets. They still have good sources and have been pretty solid with details they have shared before.

    D'Antoni's offense is build on ball movement. Few players in the league stop ball movement more than Carmelo.

    Yes that is why I commented that I think Vecsey "assumed" D'Antoni doesn't want him. I would assume the same. I don't think he is a good fit for Houston either, which is why I want it to happen.
