EXACTLY!

What is "FINE?" Top 3 in a horrible East? Patchwork bullshit team with a china doll #1?

NO. I refuse to accept your premise!

You're right Phil doesn't have to but teams do it all the time. He the Cavs did a sign and trade with LeBron after he destroyed their franchise.

What major free agent has the Knicks signed in the last 20 to 30 years?

Two all stars at the time forced/demanded trades to NY: Marbury and Anthony.

It appears that the Knicks took back some awful contracts to get the Marbury deal done. Check out this list:

A Yahoo Sports report stated Anthony also planned to reach out to Gasol to discuss him joining the Knicks, another in a growing set of signs that Anthony may re-up in New York. Joakim Noah, intimately involved in the Bulls' pitch to Anthony, has told several people he believes Anthony will re-sign with the Knicks.

Carmelo and his wife live in LA so beyond being born there why does he need to stay in NY?

Both the Daily News and the Post regard LeBron James as the only wild card here -- the Lakers are reportedly trying to sign James and Anthony, and there's also the slim, slim chance Anthony could wind up in Miami. At this point, all signs point to him staying in in New York. Anything else would be considered a surprise.

Lakers have moved into serious contention on Carmelo Anthony, multiple sources tell Yahoo. "In the game now," one source close to Melo says.

The Los Angeles Lakers have ascended into serious contention to sign New York free agent Carmelo Anthony, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The Lakers moved into strong consideration with the front-running New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls over this weekend, sources told Yahoo Sports.

No one with direct knowledge of the process would declare the Lakers had overtaken New York and Chicago in Anthony's mind, but one source close to Anthony said of the Lakers, "They're in the game now."

The Lakers met with Anthony on Friday, offering him a four-year, $97 million contract. Lakers star Kobe Bryant has been in constant contact with Anthony, and the Lakers could re-sign Pau Gasol to pair with Anthony on the frontline.

The Lakers' roster is stripped of talent, and the combination of Bryant and Anthony possessing max contracts would limit the financial flexibility to upgrade the roster. Nevertheless, Anthony keeps a home in Los Angeles and the franchise's pitch has resonated with him.

After Friday's meeting with Knicks president Phil Jackson and coach Derek Fisher, sources told Yahoo Sports that Anthony had become more comfortable with Jackson's plan to use him as the cornerstone to lure free agent stars into salary cap space in 2015 and '16. One thing that still bothers Anthony is Jackson had wanted him to take less than a max contract, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Anthony, 30, is a seven-time NBA All-Star.
