Let's say that for some miraculous reasons, we have a legit shot at trading for eihter Brand or KG at the trade deadline. In both deals, we give away expiring contract(s), youth and picks. Marbury, Craw, Q, JJ won't be in the deal (they stay). Who would you prefer to go after - KG or Elton Brand? KG is 29 and Brand is 26. They are both 20-10 players who plays on both ends of the floor. Both are legit post players who gets double teamed. They block shots. Both have 4 yrs left on their contracts (Brand's $60mm vs KG's $80mm). KG will be 33 and Brand 30 when their contracts expire.

KG. He, Marbury, Q, Wally, and whatever young players we have left over, would make us a top 6 team in the league. Replace KG with Brand and it's more like a top 10 team.

I went with Brand. I don't like KG's punching habits. I consider Brand a better teammate. Age and money favor Brand. KG is the better player, but I think Brand would mesh with this team better.

Players like KG dont come around very often so if you have a chance to get him you gotta take him...KG gets double and triple teamed and he still manages to put up 20 and 10 at least so for me this is a no-brainer
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers!!!

brand has been known to lose it on the court (note last year's flagrant foul against us out of nowhere)...and, face it, KG is waaaaaaay better

depends on the price, but I'd give away the team for KG and rebuild around him and marbs.

I'd have to take KG over Brand. I'd love to see KG in a Knick uni making it happen down the stretch in games (after Larry Brown teaches him how not to disappear in the 4th quarter lol).
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

This is a no-brainer. While Eltron Brand is a very good NBA player, Kevin Garnett is Top3 in the NBA today and I think he will continue to be Top3 in the NBA for the next 3-4 years. Garnett does everything, scores, rebounds, blocks shots, steals, assists -- he is the ultimate big man and if you have a chance to get him, you do, no questions asks and no if's and's or but's.

The ONLY PF I would rather see on the Knicks other than Elton Brand is KG. KG, if he played in a certain situation, would be on par with the all-time greats.

How about both. We can play KG at small forward.
