Also, according to Marc Stein: Source with knowledge of Knicks' thinking: "They will match any offer on Lin up to 1 billion dollars"
Rockets have committed a 4 yr, $30M sheet to NYK guard Jeremy Lin.

According to @WojYahooNBA, Lin offer sheet is $5M, $5.2M and the balloon third year is $9.3M plus team option 4th. Jerome James cost more!
Love the trade for Kyle Lowry. Whoever said without him we were in the running for pick #1 was way off, realitically we would have been in the 7-10 range without Lowry. We managed to get 8 with a mostly injured Bargnani and no Valanciunas.

It will be interesting to see if a team from the east that was in the lottery this year will make the playoffs. I know the Wizards are gearing up for an 8th seed run. With the lowry trade the raptors have improved as well.

if NOLA matches I wouldn't mind the Suns offering Ilyasova, he is still one of the most underrated players in the NBA, plus Frye's post D actually looked Center like last year and his contract seems far more reasonable as a C
Gee whiz, Mayo's still out there? What does his list look like. Knicks can afford him?
He wants more then the MLE. So no unless the Memphis Grizzles want to accept the Knicks crap package they were trying to offer the Suns for Nash minus Shumpert.
I actually agree with this and was quite serious when I suggested it. at the very least some variation of Dragic/Mayo/Dudley/Beasly/Gortat is a high-scoring lineup and might create some excitement.

Bingo. It's a move I really want to make, but it isn't happening.
Phoenix currently has zero SG's or scorers on this team. No Mayo is not that answer offensively as my Larry Hughes comparison coming out seems on par but he would easily take that starting spot. Lou Williams and Courtney Lee are also guys they should target. Nick Young plays crap defense but would be a decent addition for Phoenix, just anyone who can put the ball in the hoop.
