So you're in Phil's shoes. What moves do you make?

Apparently Phil wants Reggie Jackson.

Yeah I think he's going to try to deal for Reggie again at the deadline using a TPE. I don't think OKC is going to pay Reggie and he's going to try to get max or near-max money.

I would obviously go after a big. Bring back the fear of driving down the lane.

LEGIT point guard is a priority too. Remember, Carmelo had his best seasons playing with cats like Billups and Kidd.

What assets do we have left to trade for Jackson? No way we're trading picks, or at least I hope we aren't. If Jose was involved we'd certainly have to sweeten the deal with a 1st rounder.

Isn't Reggie Jackson's contract up after the year? Why trade for him now even if we could?

Word is the Knicks are trying to use 1 of the TPE's the got in a trade (3.5M Felton TPE) to aquire Jackson

The Calderon rumors are separate from the Jackson rumors, though I don't think Jackson would hesitate trading Jose to OKC for the right offer which includes Reggie.

ehh, your right that moving Calderon will not be as easy without adding an asset. I'm just hoping any moves made are trying to net us a 1st in next years draft, since we don't have 1 due to the Bargnani Fail

Jose is making 7 million this year, gonna be hard to move him.

I agree.

RJ's a RFA. Best to just make an offer in July and force OKC's hand to try and match it. Let the poison pills work for us this time around.

I think we should just be patient on all moves.

There are going to be a few bad teams out there around the trading deadline scared that they'll lose a player in free agency. Al Jefferson has a Player Option for next year. Charlotte has sucked. Maybe his agent will threaten opting out leaving them with nothing. We put up Calderon and our TPEs to make it work.

I'm just glad to be on this side of the fence for a change.

They signed Langston Galloway to a 10 day contract yesterday. The Post also reported that they might move Prigs. So basically, anyone not named Melo or THJR is up for sale.

We might as well move THJr while we're at it. He's a nice scorer off the bench but that's it - move him while he still has some value. No one will want Prigs, we'll have to waive him.

Back to Jackson, I can't imagine OKC giving him up for cheap but you never know. I don't really care of we get him or not though.

No.

Keep THJr. The kid has so much going for himself. His downfall is bad decision-making and lack of defense.

But to me, he has "it" potential. Just needs the situation to be stabilized and he'll be fine. You don't give up on a kid like him so soon.

Re: The 2015 New York Knicks: Year 1 of Life "After" Dolan

If the intention was to blow this thing up there was no reason to resign Anthony. I don't see the big deal here anyway the Knicks history is the Mets not the Yankees. They've been historically bad not good some decent teams on occasion but they are more often bad not good.

[ehh]

Re: The 2015 New York Knicks: Year 1 of Life "After" Dolan

I gotta say it irks me that Cleveland gave up TWO first rounders in the Mosgov trade. We couldn't even get a late 1st for Shump & JR? Crazy.

No.

Keep THJr. The kid has so much going for himself.

At this point I'm already getting skeptical regarding his potential. He can't dribble, can't pass, can't defend and isn't the best decision-maker out there. Yes, he plays hard which is always great to see but I don't think he should be untouchable by any means.

Re: The 2015 New York Knicks: Year 1 of Life "After" Dolan

TH Jr. has shown no growth in his game this year at all. He's still a chucker who plays no defense and makes bad decisions.

I'm hoping they package him with Calderon in a trade to clear more CAP space and maybe a pick back

That's just over-the-top premature.

There may be less than a handful of players playing better than him for a guy picked 24th.

You don't give up on a player in a year and a half unless they totally suck. He's not even close to that.

With that kind of thinking we might as well go back to what we were under Isaiah trading away 1st rounders and young players for homerun swings.
