Comments on: Is A Doomsday 2010 Really That Terrible For The Knicks? http://www.3rdstringsafety.com/2009/11/is-a-doomsday-2010-really-that-terrible-for-the-knicks/ An MMA Podcast with all the news, rankings, opinion and general absurdity that you are used from The 3rd String Safety.

As for 2011, the FA class will likely be headed by Melo since he has an opt out (similar to Lebron and Wade this year). Also, don't underestimate the trade value of Jeffries and Curry's expiring contracts next year when CP3 might be on the trade block.

The Grizz offered Gay an extension of 5 yr $50 mill and he declined. I dont like the plan for 2010 cause Camby and Bell are really old but for 2011 with the money off the books, it certainly could pay off. Apparently the Wolves have their eyes set on Gay and are going to push hard after him. Compare NY to MIN and its a no contest but Flynn, Kev Love X, and Big Al could be decent enough to sway him (doubt it).
