    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It bothered me. I can't believe people still don't understand that it's spelled "ur" whether possessive or contraction.

    If we're talking 4-way deals, why aren't people mentioning Crabbe to BKN?

    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y7eg3gmh

    I don't have a ton of time to play with it, but the following
    Picks in play:
    HOU 2020, 2022?
    BKN picks after 2020
    NYK 2018/19 2nds, 2021 1st

    BKN: Crabbe for Lin + Pick/Pick swap w/PDX
    NYK: Melo for Hark, Turner, non-guarantees and 1st from HOU
    PDX: Hark, Turner, Crabbe for Anderson, Lin, Hartenstein's rights, BKN pick swap and NYK 2nds
    HOU: Anderson, Hartenstein, 2020 1st for Melo

    Shaves $57M in salary over the next 3 years, gets to bet on someone else's pick for lotto, interesting young prospect. BKN upgrades from Lin to Crabbe with Russell at PG now.
    Dame/CJ/Aminu/Anderson (or Vonleh)/Nurk with Lin/Collins/Biggie/Davis/Leonard/Shabazz/Pat/Layman off the bench

    May need a followup of Big Ed or Noah for a wing player.

    True, unless you are Thurston Moore. It then becomes "yr".

    Can't speak for everyone, but IMO, if we're going to have a severely overpaid 1-dimensional player on the team, I'd rather it not be at the same position as our two first round picks. Your deal basically leaves us with four 6'3" PG's in the backcourt, Aminu and Layman at SF, and 7 bigs who probably deserve minutes. I don't know how manageable that roster would be.

    LOL. It's the best place. And those who wouldn't want to replace Crabbe with Lin need to just stop and think:

    2 years, 12 Million per.

    From what I know, usually more than one person gets screwed in a 4 way.

    I generally assume people know the rule and write it off as a typo, or these days, auto correct.

    Is it at the same position as our two rookies? I think Swanigan is better under the basket for rebounding purposes. I think he backs up Nurk. Collins is a year away. Maybe we trade one of them plus Noah for a scoring wing? If we really have 7 bigs who deserve minutes.......

    I posted this already, too, LOL. But you forgot to point out the more obvious, "you're" as in "you are". Not your.

    From Woj:

    No deal was imminent Wednesday, but the Knicks and Rockets are confident that they have a willing third-team trade partner, the sources said.

    The fourth team was needed to move a particular player contract that neither the Knicks nor Rockets could or would accept in the deal, league sources said.

    http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19972743

    Sounds a lot like Portland and Meyers (or maybe Turner)

    I do think it's interesting the Woj doesn't know (or isn't disclosing) who the third team is. Which Portland seems to be about the only team this happens to regarding Woj.

    Ding ding ding. Wojs Portland source is most likely Neil.

    I think Collins is going to get some run specifically for defensive purposes.
    Now..... he might foul out in 4 1/2minutes. But he's going to be out there patrolling the paint as the backup center.
    No one other than Nurk on the roster is the rim defender Collins has shown to be in SL.

    With Swanigan's work ethic I won't put anything past him for taking the starting 4 spot from Vonleh.
    Though I think it's Vonleh's job to lose right now.
    If Anderson is traded for, he'll be the starting 4 without a doubt.
