    It's all been speculation, we never really knew anything.

    There's just really not much to get excited about with this rumor.

    If that is indeed the deal, we give up our two best small forwards and end up with some combination of Aminu and Crabbe manning the 3 spot. One guy is a decent defender, but has all the shooting touch of a trebuchet and dribbles like a spastic 3rd grader. The other can shoot, when open, but does NOTHING else and can't guard a chair without calling for the double team.

    I'm getting excited that it might not happen.

    I am also preparing to be disappointed that it might.

    I'd like to have Anderson as long as we could offload Turner/Meyers. You look at all the open 3s Aminu gets, just imagine if it were Ryan Anderson taking those. If there we some kind of bad defensive matchup for him on a particular night, we'd still have other options.

    Turner is so much more valuable than Crabbe.

    You know, there is no rule that we have to help HOU and NYK complete this trade. The more permutations I read, the more I hope we do nothing. This is one time where I would be happy to see Neil "twidding" his thumbs.

    FWIW - a close NBA friend told me Melo to Houston is done. Very minor details being worked out now. Expects an announcement today/tomorrow

    Was also told the deal was finalized last night but camps involved want to announce on their own terms, not the media's, hence the delay. https://twitter.com/NykInsider/status/884832984054026240 …

    Would you say Carmelo Anthony for Maurice Harkless, Evan Turner, and a 1st rd pick is good return value for NY?

    Keep going with these Anti- Crabbe posts. I am going to start scouring for the best ones to become my very first signature when Crabbe is named the starter at SF this season.

    Write me some gems!!!!!!

    You're going to be eating so much crow this season you'll to be farting feathers!

    Some people actually voted no. Fucking Knick fans.

    HOU gets what they want. NYK gets what they want and we get fucked in the ass, no lube.

    Houston and the Knicks need to make it worth Portland's while ....just getting Anderson's contract would suck for us at this point

    You may want to wait to see how he actually plays as a starter before you start serving up that bird. If he is named the starter by default, because we gave away our two best small forwards, that doesn't mean shit. He still has to perform.

    On the other hand if we trade both Harkless and Turner and Crabbe still isn't starting, it may be your turn to eat a little humble pie.

    It really depends if Olshey has something else going on in another signing or another trade that bring back a SF. Right now you will have Crabbe and Aminu handling the SF position. They properly could handle it and it approx 7 million savings in cap. If we are the ones giving up the pick that way to much.
