    I'm glad Kenyon Martin is back.
    Yeah the MSG news is pretty crazy to me.

    Renovating and then having to move in ten years.

    Since New York City and Penn Station are forcing this, I hope they also pay for some of it. But no, I'm sure that will be the citizen responsibility.

      From what I've read it sounds like a pretty empty threat for now. The Penn Station project would/will be the most expensive renovation in US history and there are zero funds for it so far. I know a decade is a good chunk of time to build up some cash but I don't know.

      Penn Station apparently was built to handle about 200k people per day when it was built in the 60's, thinking that cars would replace rail and that number would be safe for a long time. That obviously didn't happen in NYC and Penn Station now handles 400k people per day, twice the amount it was designed to. And NYC's population is projected to grow quite a bit in the next decade.

      So it sounds like the renovation has to happen sooner or later but it's probably 20-30 years away instead of 10. Who knows though...

        How do you guys feel about Melo picking the roster in 2015?

        Just wanted to mark this as the day the acquisition of Kendrick Perkins sparked a debate about stacking your team.

              Who is reporting that?

              I don't know. I tend to ignore news like that.

                Knicks add Beno Udrih as the third PG.
