And They're Off!

The clock has struck 12 and two years of planning and cap clearing are done. Now it's time to remake the Knicks! Coach D is out in California and is meeting with Joe Johnson firts. Amar'e is probably second. Go Knicks!!!!!!!!!!!!


UPDATE: Coach D'Antoni along with Jim Dolan, the owner, have been in a conference room in the Fairmont Hotel out here for nearly three ours. They just ordered food about 40 minutes ago. I didn't realize Dolan had made the trip to Cali. They must be trying to work out the money or if it's a sign and trade. There's no other reason for them to still be at it, with an early flight to Akron that's probably leaving here no later than 4 this morning. Dolan is the money supply, and I'm sure he has his cap people and accountants there, so something could actually get done, and signed on the 8th. Amar'e is not meeting them tonight, though they may have teleconferenced him at one point. He'll fly to New York to meet them over the weekend or on Monday. This could be headed in the right direction. I'll see how long I can stay up and update you.


FINAL UPDATE: According to a Marc Berman tweet, the meeting ended up at 11:45pm pst. and Coach D'Antoni said, "We're just trying to do the best we can." They have a flight to Akron pretty soon. By the time I wake back up, you'll know more about what happened than I know now.
