Early results: Take 'Em or Trash 'Em

Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — So how do you see this Knicks' roster unfolding this summer? In the annual "Take 'Em or Trash 'Em" voting, Jason Kidd and Amar'e Stoudemire got the boot. Kidd didn't score in 208 straight minutes in the playoffs, and Stoudemire is due $21.68 million next season -- the highest on the team's payroll -- without even a guarantee from Mike Woodson that he'll start. However, fans stood behind J.R. Smith and Tyson Chandler, even though they were basically no-shows in the Pacers series.

Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas — ESPNDallas.com will compare the Mavericks and Clippers in five facets -- other than money -- that could play a role in Chris Paul's free agency decision in a one-per-day series: owners/front office, coaches, co-stars, supporting casts and franchise tradition. We'll focus on Dwight Howard next week. The power forward’s production has dipped significantly after his award-winning 2010-11 season. That statement applies to both Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin.

Lawrence: Cap has Knicks Chris-crossed for lone star Melo

New York Daily News — The search for the No. 2 star to pair with Carmelo Anthony is not leading the Knicks to Los Angeles, as much as Chris Paul would be Anthony’s perfect wing man. Instead of landing a star talent like Paul, a free agent this summer who once toasted an Anthony-Paul-Amar’e Stoudemire alliance at the Garden, the Knicks will have to set their sights considerably lower.
