The New NBA! Featuring the Heat, Lakers, Knicks, Thunder, Bulls, Celtics and everybody else :

Saw a good comment today that said "Thanks new CBA for making the small markets farm teams for LA, NY, Miami, Boston, and Chicago!"

The Knicks will amnesty Billups and try to trade Turiaf to make room for Tyson. And a non defensive Center was our biggest issue last year IMO.

Love Tyson to the Knicks as well. Chandler/Amare is going to be a nasty duo. Melo on the wing with it? I can dig. Just have to see what they do with the Chauncester.

Nah man.

Lopez can't hold Bynum's jock anymore, especially since he can't play in an extra 8-16 games after the regular season.

I was asking seriously, it wasn't being sarcastic.

Maybe I'm missing something but how are the Knicks going to get Chandler now? Doesn't CP3 to the Lakers effectively hurt the Knicks. I don't see how they are going to be able to address their issues from last year during this season.

Good question. I'd still go if I was Chandler....actually if was Chandler I'd stay in Dallas but I guess he is all about the money.

That being said, as a Laker fan I'm so happy Chandler is not staying.

KBergCBS: Rockets clear about $3.5M with this deal, leaving room to offer Nene a deal starting at just under $13M/yr.

Now I see what H town was up to.

1. You're a Laker Fan and I'm a Nets Fan so let's cut out the BS about changing the other's mind because we both know that ain't happenin'.

2. I've stated my FACTS about what Brook has done so it's no need to for me to copy and paste the same **** I've already said in this very post(to which you'd probably respond with "Oh that's right because you can't" blah, blah, blah nonsense). I mean what, you want to bring us some BS +/- stat line, will that help?

I should have realized they can still sign Tyson but just not trade for Paul . However that brings up another question for me. If the Knicks do that, who is their starting point guard? Would they start Shumpert or Douglas?

I really don't know what to say right now. Getting CP3 is great, but if Derek Character starts one game this season, it ain't going to be a good look. Gotta get Dwight.

We still have other options @ PG. We still still have our MLE. Players like JJ Barea are still available.

Bynums has a higher FG%, higher Rebounding%, and if he received the touches Brook got he'd be scoring 20 + a game easy taking passes from Deron Williams. I consider Bynum better for those reasons alone, not considering other factors. That is stats. Say what you will about Bynum's health, but Brook only played 20 more games over the last three years. Bynum has great hands and finishes around the rim with ease. Arguably, he has a better post game than Dwight as far as footwork and moves. I'm perfectly happy keeping Bynum if we can't get Dwight, the guy is very talented. I wish the Lakers utilized him more in all honesty. But Dwight is a superstar-franchise player, so you have to make a push as a good GM (and Mitch is superb)

It's gonna go down. I so agree if DC starts Im gonna catch a flight to LA myself and protest.

Superman wants to be in LA, may not happen right away but its gonna happen. Gotta feeling Mr Howard is somewhere grinning about this one.

Agreed, I love this move for the Knicks, they would finally have some defense. Maybe Tyson can teach Amare how to play great D.

Besides play some of the best post defense possible against the man-child himself Dwight Howard?

No Bynum and we got bounced by the C's. Got punked by Garnett Perkins and Big Baby. Bynum comes back, goes up against Dwight and wins a ring. Then goes up against that C's front court and wins another ring.

I know Bynum didn't play every post season game the last 3 years, but his limited presence made a big difference, no way we beat the C's without the time he did play.
Besides Bynum is much better defensively than Brooks, which is what we needed. I'm not saying Brooks is bad at all, it is the opposite but he wouldn't have helped us win like Bynum. We needed defense from our bigs, not offense.

Saw a good comment today that said "Thanks new CBA for making the small markets farm teams for LA, NY, Miami, Boston, and Chicago!"

Disagree with this statement...LA has always fed off smaller teams, and besides Miami the others don't really get big free agents like LA.

Agreed. Knicks got a lot better with that deal.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Bynum has a far superior FG %. Huge advantage in Rebounds (and rebound % while having a team full of guys who can rebound). Efficient with less touches. Solid post defense. Championship experience.

All Brook has is 20 more games than Bynum over the last 3 years. The argument for Brook is that he remains healthy while Bynum doesn't. But he's only played 20 some odd more games.

You're right, Brook can't hold Bynum's jock.

-All while averaging 2 quarters a game.

-Yeah he's efficient...especially when he's the 3rd and sometimes 4th option and all of his buckets are off lobs and putbacks.

-Solid post defense-I agree. Never said Brook's was better(in fact I said he needs to work out that)Now post Offense...Brook has the advantage.

-Championship Experience: Good for him....and the rest of his team. I wish Brook got to be blessed with the Black Mamba and Phil.

From the same teams that brought you Kobe and Shaq comes the thrilling sequel... CHRIS PAUL AND DWIGHT HOWARD!
