I keep forgetting how much cap space WE have. If we can decline chauncey and josh harrellson's options I think we're at $30.5 M not counting Greg Monroe?? Cap is supposed to be $63 M?? Is HoopsHype still reliable? We could give Monroe $13 M and still have $20 M for free agents?? Am I forgetting anything?

We need to get some pieces before Drummond's extension comes up and our cap is trashed.

Joe Dumars is KING!

Vinny
06-24-2014, 06:54 PM
That's totally wrong, HoopsHype fail.

Vinny
06-24-2014, 06:57 PM
It's like $39 M and change not counting Monroe, Harrellson or Billups I think. Still a lot.

I just read $13.9 but more if we lose Monroe. enough for a couple of nice MLE FAs.

Why would anyone want this pile of crap

because if you sign him once you get buyer's remorse, you can trade him along with a valuable 1st round pick to another team in an effort to get under the salary cap, so you can sign even bigger pieces of crap like josh smith. not sure what's so hard to follow as that seemed obvious to me. ;o)

Not much less, and he's basically a Matt Bonner, putting up good numbers on a bad team.
I bet Harrellson could've performed similarly if given any burn.

I'm finally starting to see the appeal of the Knicks... but will Carmelo?

http://www.tmz.com/2014/07/09/carmelo-anthony-n-y-strip-club-offers-free-lap-dances-for-life-if-you-resign-with-the-knicks/


NBA free agency just got real -- cause one of the most famous shake joints in the country is offering Carmelo Anthony FREE LAP DANCES FOR LIFE ... if he re-signs with the NY Knicks.

TMZ Sports spoke to Scores New York -- one of the top strip clubs in the world -- and they tell us that if 'Melo chooses to remain with the Knicks, they'll make it worth his while with the most sinful package of flesh pressing goodies ever.
The Scores New York "Melo Love" package includes:

-- Free lap dances for life.
-- Judging the “Dollars For Scholars” amateur pole dancing competition (15,000 scholarship in his name to the winner.)
-- A new drink called “The Melo Carmelo” to be served in the club forever.
-- His own personal ball girl and cheerleading squad for every Knicks game that would only cheer for Carmelo.
-- A topless charity basketball game in his honor (in which he could play) ... "where holding is not a foul."

Scores isn't the only strip club throwing some love Melo's way though, The Admiral Theater in Chicago -- another city seriously in contention for Anthony's services -- have their own ideas on how to get Melo in Bulls uniform.

The Admiral Theater's "Sign with the Bulls" offer to Carmelo includes:

-- A life sized portrait of him with various girls at his feet to be on display in the club forever.
-- A LaLa Anthony look-alike contest in the club that Melo and LaLa could judge as a couple.
-- Free driver service to and from the club forever.
-- 3 of the dancers from the club would tattoo 'Carmelo Anthony' on their bodies (they really said this).

Of course, with reports surfacing that Anthony will announce he'll resign with New York -- the ladies at Scores better get ready to work!

Guys, a poster on another Pistons board makes a great point.


Let's not forget one important fact: LeBron has probably seen the Orlando Summer League games, or at least highlights. Do we really think he's gonna want to play in the same division as KCP?

Cleveland is out of the question IMO.
