Oh, there's a game tonight....
Denver @ Cleveland. 8pm EST, TNT
It'll be interesting to watch tonight whether there is any hangover effect for either team. Neither has played in a week. The Cavs just made a major trade and lost one of their best teammates. The Nuggets are playing after learning the news that coach George Karl has throat cancer. Jamison will be behind the bench. Oscar Robertson and Jerry West are being honored during the game. Going to be a wild night at The Q.

McGrady is a nice fit for the Knicks. They like to have flashy, big name ball hogs with max contracts.
Yes. McGrady is only signed through this year. Once the Knicks drop him, they will have the room to sign 2 big contract players in the offseason. (D-Wad and Bosh possibly?)
Celtics & Knicks reach tentative deal....
Can it get done before the 3pm trade deadline? Stay tuned....

I'm baffled. The salary list I have seen showed that the Knicks total cap obligations for 2010 were only $27 million, and that included Curry's player option of $11.3 million and Jeffrey's $6.9 million player option. I thought that New York could have gotten out from the Curry and Jeffries obligations simply by paying them to not exercise their options. Maybe there was a timing problem with that. Maybe, the window for buying out a player option does not open until the free agent shopping spree has already begun, but in any case, this deal increases New York's 2010 available salary allotment by only $6.9 million. Giving up two first round draft picks for that and that alone does not seem prudent. I think they may want to sign McGrady. That way, they can spend $40 million on new stars, reaching or just exceeding the cap, and then take advantage of the fact that they can resign McGrady for $20 million over the cap since he will already be their own player.
I am sure there are quite a few trades that made it BEFORE 3:00pm but just not announced to the media.
SI.com is reporting the second Knick involved in the deal is rookie Marcus Landry
THAT was a hell of a game played by both Denver and Cleveland.
(Everyone's talking about the Cavs and Lakers, BUT... I have a sneaking suspicion that we may see these two teams again in the NBA Finals.)

Helluva game. Both teams looked rusty in the first half, then the second half became a LeBron v. Melo show. The final stat line of the two:
Melo: 40 Pts, 6 Reb, 7 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 Blk :up
LeBron: 43 Pts, 13 Reb, 15 Ast, 2 Stl, 4 Blk
That shot by Melo at the end of OT was as clutch as they get. Good for them. Good to see the team get a win for coach Karl. It's probably been a tough couple days for Coach and this win was exactly what he needed to get his mind off things.

The scary part is in a year or so, after a lot of other things have happened, you'll forget most of this...and Sabres will remember every detail!
