What are other teams offering?I seen the 3 players that Houston was offering for someone.Wildthing is overpaid,but is a solid defender who has shown he can hit outside shots if needed,Hickson is going to be godd when he starts to hit a outside shot,West is a bargain for what he will make in 2011 and has a 500,000 buyout and Parker is average at best.

I know that the Rockets have talked about sending back Kyle Lowry, Shane Battier, Chase Budinger and picks (one of which could be one of the Knicks' future picks).

Dallas could offer Dampier's expiring contract, Caron Butler or Jason Terry, a young Pg in Jose Juan Barea or Roddy Babeouis (can't spell his last name) and draft picks.

Out of those three teams, Butler/Terry and Battier are easily the best players.

Not sure what other teams would offer (the Nets would start with Derrick Favors, which would be THE best offer they would get).

I am still hoping Mikhail can swoop in and get Bosh. Bosh told the raptors he would be willing to do a sign and trade to the Nets. Then they can get either LeBron or Wade too Unlikely, but one can hope.

I wouldn't mind seeing him go to NJ to see if he CAN be a #1, an alpha dog, like he wants to be.

If not, I hope he gets traded to a Western Conference team. (Dallas....I am looking at you....outbid Houston).

It's now being reported that Wade and Bosh are both going to Miami, and that the Heat are the leader for LeBron too.

We'll see...

i wanna talk about the knicks!~~

scenario that lebron doesn't sign with them

there are talks about a sign and trade with gs for monta and wolves for big al

which player?

monta's a nice offensive player that will do well on d'antoni's system but we def. need to work on getting some def. minded players

never saw big al play but i do see that he's a 20-10 guy but unsure if he's a def. beast or not. prob. not. lol!

dont think we need amare and big al along with gallo as our back three...that's no def. ugh!

boozer, amare and gallo? but doesn't seem like boozer wants to come. think he'll end up with the bulls...

man, they have no chips to move for trades....stinking ****'s can't draft for the life of them....

The originally proposed scenario:

David Lee to Minnesota
Al Jefferson to GS
Monta Ellis to NY

It fell apart because GS doesn't want Al Jefferson.

So, the latest talks I have heard, is a David Lee for Al Jefferson swap. Minnesota REALLY wants Lee.

Guess it's a bit dissapointing the Bulls didn't get Wade or Bosh.

Funny thing though is I'm not sure the Heat are, or will be that much better than the Bulls. (Assuming James doesn't go there too).

All the attention, money, super-team talk, trying to manufacture a championship, etc......really is starting to wear thin (at least to me). It almost makes me wish after all this, all the hype, Durant and his actual team they built around him, becomes the next dynasty. They've become an after thought at this point, but if it happened, it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Bornagaincollector]

Mark it down,you heard it here.Lebron Signs a 6 year deal to stay in cleveland on Friday morning and another star player will be obtained by sign and trade within 48 hrs of Lebron signing.

Tony Parker might be the guy.

 

[Daltonb1219]

Carlos Boozer signs with the Bulls 5-year deal worth $80 mill!

Bron Bron is goin to either Chi town or NY.

only problem is tony parker is no where near a star player and all the star players are already gone (excepy cp3 if they could get him in trade, but even that wouldnt make them a championship team) i really want to see him go to CHI or NY

 

[Daltonb1219]

If Cleveland could tell Bron that Cp3 is coming there he would go. Them two are really close friends.

If LeBron doesn't go to Miami with Bosh and Wade they will be the next dynasty. Durrant just extended his contract 5 years 85 MIL.

I really think Durant is going to be the best player in the league a couple years from now. With how great he is he doesn't get near the attention he deserves. Even though I'm a Bulls fan, for whatever reason I find it easy to root for that OKC team - it was fun watching them go toe-to-toe this year with the Lakers - a lot of great young guys that play together on that team.

The most recent I've heard:

Multiple sources told me the Warriors have an offer on the table that sends forward Anthony Randolph and other pieces to New York in a sign-and-trade deal for Lee.

If LeBron announces he is going to New York, in order to make room for his max contract, the Knicks would have to renounce Lee to free up the cap space. That would end the sign-and-trade possibility and the Warriors’ chances at Lee. But if LeBron doesn’t say the Knicks when he announces his decision …


… Then the Warriors are “in the game” for Lee. One source said the Knicks have at least three sign-and-trade offers on the table in case LeBron opts to play elsewhere. But the Warriors like their chances, considering Randolph is a hot commodity. I have not confirmed who the other players are, but the obvious candidates are center Ronny Turiaf, swingman Kelenna Azubuike and forward Brandon Wright.

The Warriors are close to a sign-and-trade with the New York Knicks for their All-Star power forward David Lee, according to multiple sources.The Warriors would send forward Anthony Randolph — not guard Monta Ellis as previously rumored — along with a few other pieces to New York.

I really really really hope that is just a rumor. That is a HORRIBLE trade for the Warriors. We don't even know what Randolph is capable of yet He might be capable to putting up David Lee numbers by himself. The Warriors are stupid if they do that trade.

[/quote:1vdyhp04]

Latest rumor, adding on to this rumor, is Lee for Randolpn, Azubuike and Turiaf, which I actually think is a BAD deal for the Knicks (even if Randolph is a stud).

The Knicks need guards, especially with Duhon gone now.

The need to move Lee for Ellis, like was originally rumored.
