    We'd need to get a backup center, badly.

    I think you have to chalk it up as a loss. Neil rolled the dice that he could move Crabbe this summer for assets instead of losing him for nothing, but the cap went down and we were caught out in the cold. The fact that we had to take back Nicholson's contract and essentially pay to have BKN take him off our hands is a loss. It's less of a loss than eating his contract for the duration, but it's still a loss.

    Yes. It was a good strategy. A good strategy doesn't always pan out, but it was worth a try, and a trade exception.

    Depends to me upon the player Neil has targeted to fill a roster spot...could be a real upgrade nobody is aware of....I like surprises when it comes to the offseason

    Portland in: Ariza, Gordon
    Out: harkless

    Gordon absorbed by 30k into the tpe (an almost perfect fit)

    Houston in: Anthony
    Houston out: Ariza, Gordon, long, quarterman, onuaku, Taylor
    I'd put utohff instead of onuaku, but shows he can't be paired. So Houston gets "pressured" by us to do Gordon and ariza instead of Anderson, but get their guy in Carmelo.

    Knicks in: harkless and non guaranteed guys.
    Out: Anthony
    Knicks add harkless, and shed 16 million in salary for next season.

    How about two disgruntled not star level players? Just as good, right? ;)

    I still say Swanigan is the backup center with his wide body, and Collins (because he is quicker on the perimeter and a decent weakside shot blocker) is your backup PF. Maybe not ideal as they are both rookies, but a better backup center than we have had in awhile.

    Two steps back, three steps forward?

    We all hope.

    Gordon is a worse shooting more injury prone version of Crabbe. He's not good.

    Sending out Crabbe and Harkless would be a travesty.

    Gordon is a better player than Crabbe. Not a huge upgrade - and clearly not the shooter that AC is - but he can handle the ball and can attack the rim, so there's that.

    Just because he played in a fast paced offense and got enough shots to average 15ppg. He's a one-dimensional, injury prone version of Crabbe. He's extremely overrated.

    You should really send out flyers to let the league know that they messed up by giving him that award.

    The both shoot 5.5 2pt FGs per 36, and Crabbe shot 49% to Gordon's 47%.

    I'm telling you guys, you don't want Gordon. He's extremely overrated.

    He isn't any version of Crabbe. Together they make the number "10", with Crabbe being the "1".

    I'm not a huge fan of Gordon because of how streaky he is, but he can go off big in games at times. And he and Ariza would bring some toughness (when not injured) and vet experience.

    You win that award by averaging 15ppg off the bench, regardless of efficiency and how good/bad your defense is.
