I hate D Williams more than I hate any player in the league. That little bitch drove out Jerry Sloan and has pissed and moaned half the season. Fuck Deron Williams. I'm SO glad we got Harris and Favors for him. Plus, the Jazz always draft well so those two first rounders should turn out well.

Utah won in that trade by a lot. They got rid of a player who was upset while getting a lot in return.
Nets got a good player but the team isn't good enough for a playoff run next year unless the Nets do more with the roster. ESPN is reporting that the Knicks ticket prices have risen a good 45-50% in cost with his first game being 90-95% more expensive than normally. The club itself didn't set the prices but that is the asking prices on stubhub and other ticket trading places. |

Prokhorov is a fucking idiot. This move was done solely to try and take attention away from the Knicks (which it won't) and to sell tickets. They just mortgaged their future to get a guy who is probably going to leave in a few months. Completely unnecessary move.

![]() Supposedly Walsh is pissed off Thomas is taking some credit for the move of getting Melo and might not get the full power needed to complete the Big 3 that he wants and have them play the way he feels is the best. Its strong enough that he is considering leaving after the season but money might convince him to stay at a lower role or gets a big raise and keeps his power/role. The new CBA might be tough enough to prevent the Knicks from spending to get Chris Paul since it could close the loophole that lets you spend over the cap as long as you pay the luxury tax (last i heard its $1 for every dollar over the upper cap limit). Or if they get Paul, almost no chance at depth in defense due to lack of cap space. |

As a Knick fan I don't even really want the big three and don't see how its possible. Melo and Amare alone next year will be making 40M between them, the big three in Miami are making something like $48M between them for a while since they were all free agents at the same time. Paul or Williams or whoever would have to take a pretty huge paycut to come here and I just don't really see that happening.
I'd rather split the remaining money up between a couple solid players to round out this team than get another superstar. This isn't til Billups is gone anyway though. |

There is a rumor that Melo and Stat would restructure their contracts in order to sign Paul in 2012

Loved what Billups did this game. This team won't miss Felton at all.
Carmelo was definitely pressing at the start, but hit the big shots they needed at the end. Definitely not the prettiest game, but wasn't expecting it to be. Excited to see what the team can do after actually practicing and playing some games together. The team will desperately need a center or some big body to get some time from Turiaf. I knew D'Antoni wasn't gonna get any new people into the rotation this game but he definitely has to eventually. Shawne Williams should never be playing center. |

Trade Deadline deals:
Grizzles failed in trading away OJ Mayo to the Pacers due to not getting it completed in time but NBA could still pass the deal. Celtics trade Perkins and Nate Robinson to Thunder for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic. Going to miss Perkins but it made sense once he re-hurt himself. Another reason is due to Marquis Daniel potentially being out for rest of season. Portland gets Gerald Wallace. Cleveland wanted him but the deal fell and Portland stepped in. Thunder trades Morris Peterson and D.J. White to the Bobcats while getting Nazr Mohammed. Clippers trade Baron Davis and 2011 1st round pick to the Cavs for o Williams and Jamario Moon. Mark Cuban furious on a trade involving the Hornets and Kings which involved the Hornets gaining a player who makes 4x more than the players traded away (NBA owners pay the Hornets team salary). Kings got shafted by loosing a good scorer in return to 2 players that don't add up to what they lost in stats for the swap. The deal was Kings trade Carl Landry to New Orleans for Marcus Thornton. UPDATE: Danny Ainge just killed off the bench the Celtics had and their "bigs" depth with trades of Semih Erden and Luke Harangody to Cleveland for draft picks. Makes no sense since those players are rookies and does nothing to fix the depth problems. Celtics also trade away Marquis Daniels to the Kings for cash and draft picks. Daniels might be out for the season but this trade and the previous trades means that Shaq now is the full-time center for the team (Glen Davis is more of a 6th man starter for value).

Fuck that stupid asshole. I can't believe announcers praise that stuff. "It's all about selling it." He is trying to lie, cheat, and steal a victory. Fuck him.

Billups has been huge this quarter. Such an under-rated part of that deal. Heard a lot about his age and how hes lost a step before the deal went down but he's been amazing.

Huge win. Knicks can be dangerous if Amare and Melo keep up this effort on defense. Nice to see them out-rebound the Heat as well even with the small lineup they have out there.
Team actually matches up decently against the Heat since Miami has no dominant big guy. |

Mike Bibby rumored to join the Miami Heat after voiding his contract with the Wizards who traded for him last week (sent Kirk Hinrich to the Hawks). Wizards get the instant benefit of having $6.2 million off the books and at least $20 million in cap room for next year.
Also rumored is Troy Murphy going to the Heat and the Heat potentially cutting Carlos Arroyo and Jamaal Magloire to make space in both the cap and roster. |

Carlos Arroyo may be a fellow Puerto Rican, but he sucks as a person. He may play "ok", but ever since he joined the NBA, everytime he goes down to Puerto Rico in the offseason, he acts like a big star and whenever he plays with the Puerto Rican National Team, he causes trouble. This past summer, he smacked a member of the Mexican Team, just because...
...I'm all for seeing him get cut. Bring in Bibby. Speaking of the Heat, I wonder what's the over/under that we'll see Pat Riley take over before the playoffs start. |
