    apparently he consider himself a starter (they brought Millsap in), and he said that theres 29 other teams he could go, so I wonder would you trade for him... I think hed be very good fit here, especially with his rebounding and defence, hes someone who fights, and he can score too

    on a plus side, hes still young and has good relationship with Nurk, and I think Swanigan could learn from him... I like Manimal and Id like to have him here

    Okay, he's the offer I'd make - oh, and they have to give us a draft pick too since the precedent was set last year:

    Why would we do that? It makes absolutely no sense.

    I repeat, why would we do that?

    We have Caleb Swanigan. Caleb Swanigan. Youth. Brawn. Unmatched determination. Good shooter. Dogged rebounder. Friendly contract. Dame loves him.

    Not even if we traded the much maligned Meyers Leonard to get him. Don't need him. Wouldn't make us better.

    It would make absolutely no sense.

    :cheers:

    Didn't want to bump another thread so I'll just put this here.


    Knicks GM Scott Perry said he might consider making a trade to clear up the team's logjam at center.

    After acquiring Enes Kanter in the Carmelo Anthony trade, the Knicks currently have four centers on their roster: Willy Hernangomez, Kyle O'Quinn, Joakim Noah and Kanter. Noah will miss the first 12 games of the season due to suspension, but once he returns, there will not be enough minutes to find playing time for all four. Perry said there would be a healthy competition in training camp to see who wins the starting job. Hernangomez is the presumed favorite to start, but his fantasy value took a hit as a result of the Kanter acquisition.
