NEW YORK — Jim Dolan’s big fat wallet will be of no use to the Knicks until next July. The Knicks sent $3 million to the Washington Wizards as part of today’s three-team trade to acquire Tyson Chandler, meaning they don’t have any more money to spend in trades this season — and they might not have any draft picks in June. A new rule in the recently ratified collective bargaining agreement limits the amount of money a team can trade in

Guest Column: Moke Hamilton on Knicks
By Moke Hamilton NEW YORK — Why judge a trade before it’s even officially announced? Oh, that’s right. Silly me. The mandate of the “New York minute” requires that your mind be made up and declarations of “win” or “lose” be made almost instantaneously. Ahem. Pardon my refusal. Tyson Chandler is expected to be announced as the newest member of the New York Knicks, perhaps as early as today. Late Friday night, Marc Berman of the New York Post reported that the Knicks agreed
Howard’s agent talking to Lakers, Nets, Mavericks
“Right now, we’re here in Orlando. We just had practice, and that’s what matters. Nothing else matters beyond today and this moment.” — Dwight Howard, Dec. 9. That is what we call living day to day, or moment to moment, and that’s what we’ll all be doing today – whether we live in Jersey, central Florida, the BK, El Lay, the Metroplex or the Bayou. Somebody is going to trade for Howard and/or Chris Paul, be it today, tomorrow or the next
Chris Paul talks have been renewed; Nets deny Howard meeting
Here is the latest news. So far, two guys are getting amnestied: Gilbert Arenas and Chauncey Billups. Richard Jefferson was expected to be a third, but he showed up at Spurs training camp and participated. Vince Carter was bought out, as was Richard Hamilton, and Brandon Roy was told to retire. Also, Mark Cuban revealed that he was one of the five owners who voted against the new labor deal. He also came out in support of David Stern for vetoing the
Gibson Column: Basile puts Cantu in Top 16; Bulls’ Mirotic killin’ it; ‘Melo crossed over by Bodiroga
BARCELONA — They say you should act like you’ve been there before. With a Euroleague-best 396 career 3-pointers, Cantu’s Gianluca Basile had been there plenty. Still, with the clock racing toward triple zeroes and the game tied at 64 in Bilbao, nobody thought Basile’s 35-foot heave would turn into number 397. Then it did, and some 8,000 Bilbao supporters sat in stunned silence. The scoreboard told them that Cantu had taken the lead 67-64, and that in one-tenth of a second their

NBA is open for business. 4 p.m. EST news roundup
Here is the latest news: The Dwight Howard situation remains fluid, complicated and strange. Same with the Chris Paul fiasco. Gibert Arenas has been waived under the amnesty provision, and the same is about to happen with Chauncey Billups. Amid reports that Howard and his representatives met with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov and general manager Billy King last night in Miami, SI.com is reporting that Orlando is considering filing tampering charges against the Nets, and there were conflicting reports over whether Howard had
Stern issues statement on Chris Paul veto
This was just sent out from NBA headquarters: “Since the NBA purchased the New Orleans Hornets, final responsibility for significant management decisions lies with the Commissioner’s Office in consultation with team chairman Jac Sperling. All decisions are made on the basis of what is in the best interests of the Hornets. In the case of the trade proposal that was made to the Hornets for Chris Paul, we decided, free from the influence of other NBA owners, that the team was better served with Chris in a
