This?

....This?

...Or this?

These guys played their ASSES off for us this year. They showed heart, poise and determination. These guys are all young and they all played great knowing how much pressure was on them coming into this year. If this deal goes through, it will be with a sour taste in my mouth. I understand Melo is great, and yes I want him on my team, but not like this. This is pretty much our ENTIRE team. I'll miss the Felton attitude and toughness, the Gallo SWAG, and the Chandler determination. I've grown to love these dudes (pause). They have come to exemplify what New York is about. They repped New York....HARD. I never thought I'd say this, but if this deal happens it looks like I'm gonna have a second team to root for behind the Knicks.

This?

....This?

...Or this?

Carmelo! Carmelo! Carmelo!

I'm sorry for making you click on this thinking it was about Carmelo Anthony, really, I am. Carmelo is going to Jersey ok? Are we over it yet?......Good. I'm sad about it too (but glad it's almost over), and since there has been a rash of trade scenarios posted lately I thought I'd post mine and ask you about yours (pause). My question to you P&T'ers is who do you want to see donning the orange and blue after this trade deadline? At what price? And, why does this trade happen?

Let's not be completely realistic because frankly, it sucks. I say let's be realistic with a dash of fantasy sprinkled in for fun. Here, I'll go first:

Players:

Stephen Jackson. He's just an overall great player in my opinion. He can score in bunches, and defends like a beast.

Tyrus Thomas. Great defensive presence and alley-oop machine for Felton.

Boris Diaw. Decent shooter, and decent player but more importantly he's an expiring contract.

Check this:

Price:

Curry, Mozzie, Randy, Bully, Buike, and (sadly) Safari.

Why?

Charlotte, is in debt AND wants to rebuild. We are in essence, sending them cap space and cheap talent. Timo's contract has clauses that can have it cancelled by it's franchise after this year, Randy is cheap and they can use him to either rebuild or trade him for a pick in June, Bully is an expiring next season ( + dirt cheap) and decent to hold them over till the end of the season, Safari cus' he'll get em fired up and is also an expiring, Buike is an expiring, and Curry can scrub their toilets and is also an expiring. I'd send them like $3 Mill too, just for their trouble. What's not to love?

Imagine this lineup:

Felton/ Douglas/ Rautins

Jackson <--> Fields

Chandler <--> Gallo/ Williams

Thomas <-->Amar'e / Diaw

Amar'e <--> Thomas / Williams

This lineup is a contender. I'm serious. We'd be fast, defensive, young (only 1 player over 30---Jackson) and aggressive as all hell. We get bigger with this lineup too. What do you guys think? Am I out of line? Are you mad you clicked cus you thought this would be about Melo? Let me know! You guys have any better ideas? Share em!!

If this is true...

Then we might as well just stop right now. Let's stop all this madness, it's over. I mean come on, if this is true we never had a chance. If Isaiah "I ruined the Knicks" Thomas actually went out to recruit LeBron, it's all over. No wonder the news came in late last night. I can imagine a scenario where I'm LeBron James and I'm dead set on going to New York, becoming a legend, earning ridiculous money, then there's a knock on my door....and it's Isaiah Thomas. I would do what any sane person would do in that situation, call Dwayne Wade. I can't believe this.
