This qualifies as good news. The Knicks apparently have a tentative deal with Robin Lopez, big man of the Portland Trail Blazers. They're waiting to see if they have a chance with De Andre Jordan. Lopez is a good big guy. Not an all-star.

However its Lopez who's waiting, not the Knicks. Hmm.

Knicks sign Arron Afflalo. At least free agency won't be a total bust. ;-)

Please Jeremy Lin do not go back to the Knicks.

At least as long as Melo is there.

I don't think there's much chance PJ wants to get Lin though.

Hint: Brooklyn would be an inspired choice. Deron must have some market value.

Greg Monroe turns down the Knicks, goes with Bucks. He wanted to be on a ready-to-win team where he was the missing piece. "The Knicks have meetings Thursday with DeAndre Jordan and LaMarcus Aldridge in Los Angeles. The team met with Robin Lopez on Wednesday night, and is now their most realistic big-man target."

I'm going to try an experiment here. Mixing links to stories about the deals the Knicks have done or missed in free-agency. The future of the team is very fluid right now, and interesting.
