Knicks Get Melo: Did they give up too much?

[clyde]

"giving up 115 to Cleveland under any circumstances is troubling"



AND...they lost.

You left out that little fun part.

They need to add a player or two...will watch and see how things work out. Way too early to evaluate this trade.

This trade, you could devaluate the day it was announced.

They need more than that. They only have 5 players that are NBA worthy to play real minutes and with the system that they run you will need depth. They will need to replace Billups after next season and they desperately need frontcourt help which is hard to find. This years draft is terrible and it is a real stretch to think they can get a impact player there. OKC just gave up a 16 pts a game guy, a starting center and decent number 1 pick to get a solid defensive center who cant shoot with a bum knee that is a FA after the season. Jermain O'Neal is actually collecting a paycheck. Shaq is still getting 2 year contracts. That should tell you all you need to know about how easy it is to find quality big men. Add in the Knicks have nothing of value to trade and you just wonder where these other players are going to come from. Azubuike ?

Agree with every point but look at how the league has changed just this year. I hesitate to say a team can't make major changes, the NBA is better off when major market teams are strong...shifting sands!

If the Cavs go for 115 on you, you have lost

The Cavs don't win games, other teams lose them.

Perhaps he should stick to dressage.

I'd pay money to see Clyde vs. Cannon Shell in a game of H-O-R-S-E

I think the " O-R-S-E" become irrelevant if he "drills" the H....
