    I hate to lose Harkless, but it would probably get us out of at least one $70m contract, not to mention maybe getting rid of someone like Meyers.

    Want irony? I think we're better than the Rockets whether they get Melo or not, and you know why? They have no answer for Nurkic, you know, the guy you'd think doesn't even exist in talking a rocket fan.

    You think they'd remember the guy that dropped 19/11 on them.... That spin move on Nene is engraved in my mind

    This is exactly why they don't remember. They're trying to block such a painful memory from their tiny brains.

    They may end up being just another typical D'Antoni team - great regular season record, poor playoff performance. If even that. It's not like D'Antoni and Melo set the world on fire the last time they teamed up.

    Nothing is going to get them to forget .9

    So, they will try anything else.

    Great post. So we're taking on Joakim Noah? I'm fine with that. Will he play? Also- apparently Crabbe's contract is reasonable? Losing Vonleh opens up minutes for Swanigan.

    Thanks for posting all of that. Very interesting insights into another fan base. Knick fans have always been passionate about their team, but I'm surprised they are so calm, rational and not bitter after all the disastrous years Dolan has put them through. They basically seem like the exact opposite of the clutchfans cucks.

    I have not seen this full quote from Lillard on this epic thread:

    “He’s Carmelo Anthony,’’ Lillard said. “You add another guy who can score 50. Over the last decade, he’s been one of best players in the league. Playing against him he’s a cerebral player. He’s smart. He played in the triangle. I can only imagine what it would be like to have him isolating on one side, and CJ in the corner, and me in opposite wing and Nurk on the opposite … I could only imagine how tough it would be to guard us.’’

    I wasn't really excited about Melo, but at this point I hope we get him just to shut up all these doubters who are shitting on us.

    Seems to me someone is lying with regards to the Dame/CJ comments about Melo being interested (possibly). Either Melo is lying to them about his actual interest here, or Dame and CJ are lying to the media just to make it seem like Portland has a punchers chance or the Knicks are lying about really wanting some of our players. Otherwise if all that were true, seems to me like a deal would have been done pretty much now. Either way Im not too fussed about getting Melo.
