Yeah free agency isn't as big a part as everyone thought.


Hopefully they can use some of those free agents in trades to add to the top of the roster

Well, we all know how hung up you are on TRADES, but when the team is not appealing, less talent will be interested.

- which is what makes the next round of free agency so interesting.

If you think money in free agency will mean so much more next summer would you be in favor of "trying" to trade Lopez? How about afflalo and dwill? Where do you cross the line. Honest question? How much could you "give" away without affecting the trajectory of this team?


I think you could get Joe Johnson for Lopez and afflalo. Would you do that? Lopez and Calderon for Joe seems like a no brainer right

can you keep your stupid trades to yourself

No but the Nets would have to add a player to Joe Johnson. Bargnani would be perfect

Why aren't you rooting for the Cavs. You must be a closet fan, because no Knick lover in his right mind would want half those losers you'd trade for. And picks as well?

No. You're DEFINITELY not a NY fan. Case closed.

[bluechox2]

porzingis is not a center, not anytime soon, and jr smith and bargnani are only coming back in your wet dreams

wolves aint trading lavine when hes improving immensely

we made this team last summer and it has been good, and yet you just want to trade everyone...yea thats what teams do

kevin love is jsut gonna be handed to us right? yet i dont even want his soft ass on this team

[el gringos]

Wolves get- d rose, j grant, zBo, McDermott, NY 1st, tony Allen, 2 NY 2nds

Bulls get- mike Conley, Afflalo, Galloway, Robin Lopez, pekovic

Grizzlies get- Rubio, Calderon, d will, cleanthony, 2 NY 2nds

Knicks get- 3 2016 2nds, Noah, Pau, Courtney Lee, LAVINE, Jeff green, Hinrich, Bjelica

Agree w 1st and second paragraph and half the 4th.


No this teams not that good. Still need pieces in the top half the rotation. Trading all the 3-8 players on this team even for 1 new guy in the top 3 would be good. They're all replaceable.



I shouldn't have made a Kevin love trade just because thst couldn't happen. Gotta trade Lopez and afflalo, dwill, saraphin if trade value is possible. Esp if Calderon can go with them.

For a Lavine you throw in Galloway or grant


I agree that KP isn't a center now. Don't dven knew that he ever should be

[el gringos]

its already time to make a major change to Phils direction here. It's because KP is that good. He didn't know he'd be this good this fast


Need a guard and need to sell high on AA and Lopez to add to Calderon to get a guard and a better center


It's time to win now


Lavine and Enes Kanter and this team could try to win series in the playoffs. Then use all capspace to signs between Durant and A Fournier type and it's a championship contender team for a long time

Lavine
Fournier
Carmelo
KP
Enes


is there any chance you could get Lavine and Enes for aa, Lopez, grant, Galloway, o'quinn, dwill, 1sts? Some group of that? Those guys are all replaceable. This time in free agency maybe a big talent like Durant or even if you could get Fournier.


Basically, try to consolidate assets now that you found out you have 2 huge building blocks.

[el gringos]

Maybe Jordan's the only one who Phil can trick.

Batum and Hawes
For
Lopez, Calderon, Galloway, Afflalo
