Yeah, but that one year is $12m in savings and is well timed for 2010.
Noah will be restricted so they'll be able to match if they want to.
I just lol'd when I saw that Dalembert is second in all star voting at C.

All those Haitians voting online are propping him up. :)Quote:

Knicks consider trade to bring back Marcus Camby

The Portland Trail Blazers' dogged pursuit of David Lee could result in Marcus Camby returning to New York.
Knicks president Donnie Walsh denied that he is working on a three-way deal with the Blazers and Clippers, but several team sources confirmed that Walsh and the Knicks' coaching staff have discussed the possibility of adding Camby, who was traded from Denver to the Clippers last July.
Portland has been trying for months to acquire Lee, who will become a restricted free agent this summer. Mike D'Antoni would prefer to have the athletic 7-foot Camby as his center as opposed to the 6-9 Lee, who has improved offensively but has struggled on the defensive end.
There was a report of the Knicks being involved in a deal that would send Quentin Richardson to the Clippers and Lee to Portland, with the Knicks getting back Camby and former Knicks first-round pick Channing Frye. Walsh, however, denied having discussed that trade with the Clippers and Blazers.
Camby, 34, has developed into one of the game's best rebounding and defensive centers. He is averaging 12.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots this season for the Clippers. Ten years ago, Camby played a significant role in helping the Knicks reach the NBA Finals.
However, Camby eventually fell out of favor with Garden chairman James Dolan, who eventually had former Knicks president Scott Layden trade Camby and Camby's best friend, Latrell Sprewell, in successive years. Dolan, according to a club source, would not prevent Walsh from trading for Camby.
Lee's future with the Knicks is uncertain due to his pending free agency. Although the Knicks have the right to match any offer Lee receives, the club would be reluctant to sign Lee to a long-term extension if that deal jeopardizes the Knicks' ability to get under the salary cap by the summer of 2010 when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are eligible for free agency.
Last week, Walsh hinted that the Knicks need to add more size, which is something they will do when Eddy Curry returns from a knee injury. Walsh is also hopeful that the Knicks can add a backup point guard. Curry practiced Sunday for the first time since Nov. 1.
"We'll see if there are any setbacks," D'Antoni said. "But if he continues ... after a week he'll probably be day-to-day, shouldn't be too long."

Given what we know today, here are five attractive trading partners for the Thunder.
→Milwaukee: Charlie Villanueva and Tyronn Lue have recently been rumored to be on the move, with the Thunder named as a potential landing spot. The 6-foot-11 Villanueva creates mismatches with his inside-outside game, while Lue is a savvy veteran point guard who knocks down open shots and is a tough on-ball defender.
→Toronto: Anthony Parker and former Oklahoma State standout Joey Graham were reportedly included in a package that would have sent Earl Watson to the Raptors, and now former No. 1 pick Andrea Bargnani is reportedly on the trading block as well. The Thunder could use Parker and Bargnani’s perimeter shooting and Graham’s defense and toughness.
→Utah: With an abundance of shooting guards, and the Jazz potentially scrambling to re-sign big men Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap this summer, sharpshooter Kyle Korver could be made available at a bargain price.
→Detroit: http://wtfdetroit.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13947
→New Jersey: Oklahoma product Eduardo Najera plays with a toughness and defensive mindset the Thunder sorely lacks. Swingman Jarvis Hayes is a 3-point threat who could help off the bench.
I read on SI that the Celtics could explore acquiring Jason Kapono. They're desperate since their bench offers no real threat of mid-range or outside shooting (Eddie House apparently doesn't count).
Scalabrine and a future pick for Kapono...is whats kicked around?
I have a hard time thinking Ainge would really want to take on Kapono's contract...but at least it's not as bad as Matt Carroll's...
Scalabrini has a terrible contract himself and it would have to be a pick FAR in the future to not be anything but essentially a high second round pick from the Celtics.
Kwame Brown for Saer Sene -- you heard it here first and last
We need Kwame for the playoffs to foul Shag. His value is 5 fouls.
Oops, thats for the 'Remember when' thread.
The Celtics offered J.R. Giddens & Gabe Pruitt to Orlando for J.J. Redick, but Otis told them no...
Boston is DESPERATE for some perimeter shooting. Eddie House can't even bring the ball up court, let alone be counted on to make contested shots...
Per RotoWorld...
What a terrible trade that would be for Milwaukee, IMO. Sessions showed signs of brilliance down the stretch last year, and their going to dump him because Skiles doesn't like him??Quote:
The Grizzlies and Bucks have discussed a trade that could send point guard Mike Conley to Milwaukee for guard Ramon Sessions and swingman Joe Alexander.
Conley has just never impressed me. If I was Milwaukee, I'd rather have Kyle Lowry than Conley...
