Idk how he wasn't let go when he was trying to trade the unicorn. He drafts somebody everybody hated him, then Porzingis made him look like a genius, but then he assures us he still has no clue by trying to trade him--which further reveals to everyone that the Knicks have no idea what they're doing. No direction whether be it trying to contend for the playoffs or rebuilding. He needs to just get rid of Melo for picks and cap space. Melo won't let him. The places on his list don't have or won't part with those assets. He might be able to get Cleveland to part with some 2nd rounders, maybe even a future 1st, but what about the matching salary? Well then buy him out today or trade him to the contender he wants to go to for whatever picks you can get + expiring contracts The Knicks are literally the worst franchise in sports today. They need to move on from Melo at all costs. |

Apparently the Rockets also have strong interest in getting Paul George. If they were to get him, there's a chance that after this year, the Rockets will be pretty gutted next offseason, though they'd have cap space. I'm just interested to see what happens with the Lakers. I think 'if' Lonzo Ball increases their wins next year and they start to trend up, that's going to be very interesting next offseason. Ball being the man at point guard would almost eliminate their chances of Russ wanting to be there IMO Where did Russ to the Lakers come from? I doubt they'd have trouble filling out the roster, but it would look like Miami did with a bunch of vet minimum ring chasers. The difference being playing alongside Harden/CP3 vs Lebron/Wade. If Melo gets bought out, he won't sign for more than this season in Cleveland just to get 1 run at the Warriors. What Lebron does is of course what everyone is waiting for. If Houston has the cap space, maybe they all go there and try to knock off the Warriors in the WCF. Hou/BOS Finals with CP3/Harden/Lebron/Melo/Bum, with Wade as 6th man of the year. Wade in the starting lineup when they go small. That team against IT/Hayward/PG13/Horford/Bum with Crowder or Bradley off the bench. |

Adrian Wojnarowski: Owner James Dolan is weighing the future of Phil Jackson as New York Knicks President, league sources tell @the Vertical. Story online soon. – via Twitter WojVerticalNBA HA! Ace gonna get his wish. I wonder if this has something to do with billiups not yet signing with Cleveland
The last report on the situation was that "no immediate resolution" was expected between the two sides. |

But let's say that Russ does leave, all 4 of those great draft picks would be gone with nothing to show. Crazy |

Adams probably makes sense as he's still young and a reliable center in this league. Oladipo and Kanter are overpaid, but also a product of today's CBA |

Sounds about right
But what really solidified Paul’s dissatisfaction with Doc was a proposed trade involving Carmelo Anthony last season. New York offered Carmelo and Sasha Vujacic to the Clippers in exchange for Jamal Crawford, Paul Pierce and Austin Rivers, a deal to which Rivers ultimately said no. That event led Paul to feel that keeping his son on the roster was more important to Doc than improving the team.

Doc just lost all the credibility he had left with that news. He'll say he did it for Pierce lol |

Phil Jackson made $60Mil since signing with the Knicks in 2014-15. He signed a 5 year deal. Since he still had 2 years remaining on his contract, his contract was bought out for $24Mil
That averages out to $50,000 a day that he held the title. He technically made more this year ($36M) than Carmelo Anthony who made $24Mil

Paul was obviously letting him know to stay away. Damn, Clippers and Knicks suck. Wade and LeBron may play together. Feels like deja vu. |

At least the Knicks canned Phil and can still build around Porzingas. The Clippers are trying to woo an aging Blake and still won't let go of Doc Rivers. |
