    The return of Linsanity is unlikely. Jeremy Lin is nothing more than an average NBA player at best.

    I would trade for him. If anything, we have a superstar to get piece next season.

    It's official, you are out of the running to be our next GM. Sorry.

    That's a damn good thing. But keep in mind that melo is under contract and has a ton of value. He is a 23+ per player all day, everyday. Next season, you could use that to get good picks or talent next season. Our cap space is only going to force us to overpay free agents.

    Watch it's gonna happen.

    I read somewhere a few weeks ago that Melo's marriage with Lala was on ice, and one of the main reasons why he wanted to go ot NY was for her. If that is true, maybe that's why he's rumored to want out.

    D'Antoni is a failure. How many elite players has he had over the past ten years, with not even a Finals appearance to show for it?

    Melo is going nowhere! The calvary will arrive next year and his name is Phil Jackson.... Mark it down!! Phil's 12th ring will be coaching where he won his 1st!

    Interesting idea. I could see it happening. The Knicks actually have some good talent, and we know that Jackson never goes anywhere unless there's talent there.

    Yeah I heard it from someone before. It's a perfect situation for him. Has all the tools to run the triangle.

    I think everyone knew Phil would end up back in New York. Phil is a big market guy. New York, 2 superstars and Chandler, makes it even easier to to see this coming.
