One less team to fight with over Howard, now if Dallas could move on.

Wash post reporting that Knicks might give Joakim 18 mil/yr

Guessing a max

 

[Ripcity4life77]

If the Knicks end up doing that deal they deserve to NEVER go farther then getting into the playoffs.

 

[TBpup]

I'm guessing that Knick offer wouldn't be for the full 4 years and is more like a 2 or 3 year deal with a team option after 2.

Damn him and Iron Man would be sick together.

Still not a threat.

Mavs should be rebuilding, not trying to patch together an 8th seed.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I really hope the mavs get Conley actually. Wouldn't help them enough and hurts the Grizz. Just don't get whatever Center Neil wants.

If Conley goes, I think the Mavs blow that thing up. They were on the decline with Conley.

You mean Grizz blows it up?

If this is true, Blazers should be able to swoop in and get Kanter on the cheap, then sign Whiteside and we have our offense/defense combo inside...

Dame-CJ-Aminu-Kanter-Whiteside would be a very good balanced lineup of all players in same age group with huge upside...

that would also be what? 3/4 of our cap? and when CJ gets his deal then be like 95% of it?

 

[selloutking]

I just remember how difficult he was to defend in the playoffs a couple years ago. If Harden had showed up, they might have won that series.

I gotta say, that was by far the best playoff series in recent memory.

don't post stuff like that, it just makes me want boogie again lol

[Fez Hammersticks]

Everything hinges on KD but the plan their GM has put together is crazy:

Out:
Serge Ibaka
Dion Waiters (to make room for another max they have to let him walk)
Fodder (waiving Morrow)

In:
Al Horford
Victor Oladipo
Domantas Sabonis
Ersan Illyasova

IF he can land Horford they would have the best off-season I've seen in long while.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Still not a threat.

Whiteside, Dirk, Matthews, Conley is a nice starting point

Wessy fell off a cliff last year, man. Is Conley really going to be much better than the resurgent Deron was last year?

Conley is a really underrated PG. Wes was coming off an injury. That would be a pretty darn good team. Most likely better than ours

Certainly not if we also got howard

Meh, not buying it. When your best player is a guy in his 20th yr, not so sure.

But let's see what happens

 

[Mediocre Man]

Certainly not if we also got howard

Potentially is probably a better word than certainly

 

[Boise Blazer]

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Yeah, no. Ill give you probably. Not potentially.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Potentially is probably a better word than certainly

Since his "certainly not" was in response to your "most likely", I'd say it absolutely fits. Whiteside/Dirk/Wes/Conley is certainly not most likely better than Howard/Aminu/Harkless/CJ/Dame.

 

[42N8Bounce]

If the Blazers strike-out on landing a big time free agent, my guess is we'll see Olshey press the trade front and be a facilitator to pick up a player that a team is trying to dump to clear CAP space. Not a bad plan B.

 

[Boise Blazer]

If we could land Whiteside/Howard does it make any sense to trade for Kanter if the Thunder are clearing space to get Horford? Does that pair work?
