    Knicks appear close to acquiring Andrea Bargnani from Toronto, per source. NY offering Camby, Novak, 2 picks (1st rd/2nd rd).

    I don't get it.

    Bargnani for Novak alone is barely a fair deal for the Knicks.

    Update: the Knicks will likely have to sign-and-trade a player to the Raptors to make the deal work. Leading candidates are Barron & Richardson.

    My guess is Melo and Bargs create a tricky stretch cover for opponents and Bargs defends fours on the other end to keep Melo from getting banged up. Not sure if this is the Knicks giving up on Stoudemire.

    Due to trade rules with the contracts involved this deal won't be official until the 10th.

    Hopefully Dolan doesn't pull an MJ and take this deal away even after it's been agreed to.

    Supposedly the 2016 first round pick has some weird restrictions on it. Nuggets have the right to swap picks should they chose. Either way, fantastic deal for the Raps. I can't believe we traded Primo without having to give up Ross or picks or anything.

    The only thing better than trading Bargnani is trading him to the Knicks. Can't wait to watch them collapse this year.

    Ujiri just seems to like dealing with the Knicks. First Melo deal, now this
