- Deron & CP3 is not next summer, Its two summers from now. Both have options for 2012. Melo is next summer
- The Bosh sign and trade article would only be if Bosh wanted to go to the Bulls so its not set in stone..
- I doubt T'Wolves would ever give us Rubio, if they would then we would most likely already have him.
(Now if T'wolves get a high pick and somehow choose positions they don't need like a PG and draft Wall, then maybe the'yll loosen up on Rubio)
- I'm all for Camby signing here next year, i remember reading that his family was happy when they heard Knicks are interested next season, & Camby said he would be interested too.
- And For Joe Johnson

Johnson's Future Could Hinge On Woodson's Status[/h2]
Apr 05, 2010 4:27 PM EST
The status of Hawks coach Mike Woodson could play a role in whether or not Joe Johnson re-signs with the team.
"Of course," Johnson told FanHouse when asked if Woodson's contract situation would affect his own.
"That will be one of the factors. (Woodson) was one of the main reasons why I came here (signing as a free agent in 2005). Me and him stayed and talked for a while before I signed. So we'll see. I surely hope him and his coaching staff will be back. Those are guys that I'm very comfortable with and familiar with, and the system that they have us running right now, it's been successful. So hopefully we can keep our core right here."
Woodson's contract, like Johnson's, expires at the end of the season.
"I'm thrilled to hear that Joe said that," Hawks owner Michael Gearon said. "I take that as a positive what he said about Woody."

New York's Tax Bill Drops From $15M To $5.1M[/h2]
Apr 05, 2010 5:40 PM EST
The Knicks were notified last week that their request for Cuttino Mobley's $9.5 million salary to be erased from their 2009-10 tax bill has been approved, according to sources.
The Knicks then waived Mobley on Monday, according to a league memorandum obtained by ESPN.com.
Once Mobley clears waivers later this week, New York will see its luxury-tax bill for July drop from nearly $15 million to $5.1 million. That will also reduce the rebate that teams get for staying underneath the league's $69.9 million luxury-tax threshold from just over $4 million to $3.7 million.

Steve Blake Likes Idea Of Playing For Knicks[/h2]
Apr 05, 2010 4:23 PM EST
Steve Blake will be a free agent this summer and could be a potential target of the Knicks.
Blake was traded to the Clippers in the deal that sent Marcus Camby to the Trail Blazers.
New York executive Donnie Walsh had tried to pry Blake away from Portland.
"It's coming up real soon. If a team like the Knicks wanted me to be there, I'd be thrilled about it," Blake said. "I love Coach D'Antoni and the way he plays. I'm a guy who loves uptempo."
