    Right, why is Jackson so ready to give up on him. Porzingis didn't look that great sometimes, but he is still only 21.

    Does it seem weird to anyone else that the commissioner is weighing in on what a team should do with their players?

    I also don't believe that the NBA commissioner should be predicting elections (badly).

    OK, I am going to fix all Phil Jackson's problems. Can you imagine the agony Phil has to go through looking at all his terrible mistakes? Looking at Carmelo, whom he pays so much, and realizing he just doesn't really help the team be better? Looking at a broken down Noah who has three more years at $17 million a year? Looking at 31 year old Courtney Lee, who is signed for three more years? Looking at Porzingas, whom he had so much hope for, and the kid won't even stick around for his exit interview?

    Now I think Phil really loves an Evan Turner type player. He will be the centerpiece. Plus Harkless, plus Ed Davis, plus Noah Vonleh. All hard playing guys on good contracts Throw in a dynamic young pg, Napier. Phil's choice of Layman or Connaughton. Three draftpicks. One thing, Phil, since I am giving you so much good stuff and gonna take away all those reminders of your failures , I gotta ask one little favor, could you take Myers Leonard, please? (Being that you are the Zen-master, maybe you could fix him?)

    Sorry I still can't figure out how to grab a screenshot so here is the link:

    The word is out; Phil is driving a hard bargain. You need to add a sweetener to land this deal. A bushel of “special mushrooms” should do it.

    some guy named Gambadoro tweeted this: "Knicks have asked for Devin Booker and the #4 pick from Phoenix for Kristaps Porzingis - Ha Ha Ha. He is good but trust me not that good"

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Danny Green is a far better player than Crabbe or Turner. Danny Green is Crabbe with Turner's defense, or Turner with Crabbe's shooting.

    CJ + 3 picks and filler. Don't overrate CJ he's damn good but KP is a better fit next to Dame and Nurk. Im sure they'll get better offers but that at least might get you in the ball park. No one here can tell me we wouldn't be a better team with KP rather than CJ. I love CJ's game but have to do what's best for team.

    If giving up CJ, then I think all 3 picks is way too much. He's showing improvements each of the last two years.

    2 late 1st round draft picks we'll be lucky to get a reserve player. The 15 is decent but KP is better than CJ so I'd make that deal.

    Look back on this in 3 years and see who's better and it won't be close. KP is 21. Again I love CJ but you if you get the best player in the deal then you do it

    Danny Green can't dribble or create for others either. This is a ridiculous statement. Danny Green isn't far superior to ANYONE in the league.

    Green: 7 / 2 / 3r or 42% shooting and 40% from 3. 10.2 PER. 7% TRB, 10% AST, 14/14% turnover/usage rate. %54 true shooting

    Been on the same team for 6 seasons plays 26 minutes a game for the best coach in the league.

    Turner: 9 / 3 / 4r on 47% shooting & 26% from 3. 11.4 PER, 8% TRB, 18% AST, 14/18 turnover/usage. 49% True shooting

    First year on the team w/limited chemistry + injury prevented chemistry development.
