Thoughts On NBA at midseason

[Cannon Shell]

Jamison to Cavs done.

Nate to Celtics supposedly done.

Mcgrady to Knicks? If they Knicks give up 2 unprotected first round picks for his giant expiring contract there is virtually no doubt that they wont get LeBron, Wade, Bosh or anyone else worth a damn. It just works that way with the Knicks.

Darko's corpse to Minnesota

Salmons to Bucks for expiring contracts

Hinrich to lakers?

Donnie Walsh is no dummy. He knows something the rest of us don't know.

As a Knicks fan I remain skeptical. They have finally erased most of Isiah's mistakes yet have also given up all of thier 1st round picks in the near future.

And, knowing Walsh, do you really think he does that without a plan? That guy has a plan for going to the bathroom. I'm not saying Lebron is going there. All I am saying is that there will be two max contracts in New York this summer. That I would wager on.

There are only 3 guys worth max contracts and I just dont see 2 of them going to NY. Personally I think that they had no choice but to purge that roster and free up cap space. But If they dont get Lebron or Wade they are still going to have to come up with a team. And how many teams can be built strictly via trades and free agency?

I just saw the Bulls trades. They did exactly what they needed to do. Got rid of Thomas and Salmons.

I can't believe they did something that actually worked out well for them. Gar Forman for President!@

But thats my point. This isn't Wes Unseld or Isaiah riding this horse. This is Donnie Walsh. Is he really going to give away unprotected draft picks to free up that kind of space when all he has to rely on is hope especially considering those contracts would be gone by the following summer anyway?

Walsh has been given some kind of assurance that he will have a reasonable shot at landing two big free agents. That is pure speculation but that guy has a track record for being smarter than most everyone else in the room.

I think the Knicks stuff is awesome. We will get to return to the LeBron is DEFINITELY going to NY stories nonstop again. I have heard it already in the national media. Good stuff.
