A lot of Knick fans here should be happy their building around Melos timeline rather then Kp :mjlol:

Now they'll sign Howard or Gasol and become an old team shooting for the playoffs which is what Dokans goal has always been

I dont think that's it. I'm hoping its a move just to appease the fanbase for a year bc we were going to be bad anyways. Getting Lopez off the books is a good thing provided we sit tight this year with the money. Rose will be gone next year anyways.

Couple things on this trade

Pros:
- only a year left on the deal. Calculated gamble
- maybe it helps sway KD here?
- not trading a future 1st in the deal (really weird feeling here with this)
- no more bum ass Calderon

Cons:
- Trading Lopez, who was on a very good contract and a good player

All in all, not too bad of a trade. At worst, you've accelerated the expiration of Lopez's contact from 3 years from now to next season. At best, you've got a PG who makes this offense run.

as long as Rose is only here for a year this is fine. He'll probably get hurt anyways....if the Knicks go out and sign Dwight than you might as well pull the curtains on the franchise though.
He's on our team now. Don't wish no evils on that man. He in Blue n' orange now :birdman:

I hope he stays healthy and averages 23-6-4 :ahh: :ahh: :ahh:

dont be short sighted...its all to get more cap room
after this year....if rose is what he used to be....(unlikely) we can put some money into him into the future...if he isnt...all that cap room and we still have our picks :blessed:
we got rid of lopez's contract, calderons contract...and the only somewhat L we take is...not exactly finding out what jerians ceiling was
trust phil :wow:

WTF is it with this guy and trades.
Somebody has to get fired. We stay getting robbed.Robin Lopez at that price is a steal. How is that not enough for a first round pick.

I've braced myself that they gonna sign D Coward :mjcry:
