D-Will could join Stoudemire in N.Y.

Williams' New York plan

UPDATE: According to Ken Berger of CBS Sports via a source, "Williams began informing close associates after last season that if [Amar'e] Stoudemire wound up in New York, Williams would follow him there as a free agent in 2012."

So it's possible a new Big Three of Williams, Carmelo Anthony (should he get traded to the Knicks this week) and Stoudemire could happen, though the new collective bargaining agreement's salary cap and salary structure could make such inclusion of these three on the Knicks' roster a challenge.

There's been speculation that Deron Williams' frustrations in Utah could ultimately lead to him opting for free agency in the summer of 2012.

And here's another wrinkle to that story, according to Brian T. Smith of the Salt Lake Tribune on Friday.

"Jazz's Williams said it's hard to get free agents to come to Salt Lake City," Smith tweeted. "He has actively recruited players in past. But 'no tampering.'"

Of course, this doesn't mean for certain Williams will bolt or that the Jazz will be unable to acquire a player of note in the future.

But if he's encountering obstacles in attracting talent to Utah, it's yet another reason why Williams' future with the Jazz is up in the air at the moment.

Some Knicks officials believe the best course of action is to pass on Melo, keep the cap space and team as it is. Acquire a back-up PG and a defensive center in the off-season and then go after one of the 2012 free agents (Paul, Williams, Howard).

I expect Dolan is not one of those people.

Personally I don't think a team of Amare, Carmelo, and Landry Fields is good enough to crack the top 3 in the East

This is becoming nauseating. Pretty soon the Knicks will have been linked with every star player ever. I'm sure a "John Wall to New York in 2014?" story will break down the road.

You mean it's hard to get NBA players, into Salt Lake City - a city with an 80% demographic of white people?

Get the fuck out of here!
