I would ab-so-lute-ly <<<3 Seegio on the Knicks. I completely agree that he has the talent to lead an up tempo style of offense. In fact, I know it!

I would be all for a Rodriguez/Robinson swap. Makes a lot of sense. The Blazers need that sparkplug off the bench, Nate has a lot of talent in that role, and he played his college ball at Washington, so the fans would be pretty excited to get him back.

For the Knicks, they don't want to extend him, need a lead point, and can get a guy who has the potential to be a strating point in the NBA. I'd do that trade, though I don't expect it to be popular.

I know we all think Lee may allow us todump a salary, but a trade of Lee/Rose/Collins for Sergio/Frye/Diogu would be nice.

They get a guy they've been after in Lee + an expiring contract + a PG that MacMillan will like better than Sergio (but will also be benched). We get an offensive PG, plus a couple of decent front court guys.

whoa I didnt say swap Nate for Sergio!!!!

My point is Nate is better than Duhon in all phases even running the offense. So its a crime Nate isnt starting. In Sergio's case? Sergio may not be a better overall player but as far as running a team as a true point guard? Sergio would deserve the start over Nate and it would be greatly justified.

To have a real point guard playing for the Knicks is my dream!!! Knicks havent had a real point guard since Rod Strickland. Ron harper, Doc Rivers, Ward, and Childs were very steady and sometimes brilliant. Marbs was too self absorbed.

Please someone in the Garden go free Sergio!!!!

LOL... okay. Well, *I would* swap Nate for Sergio everday of the week and twice on Sundays!!! I'm a big fan of his, in case you couldn't tell

i think i would do this if they threw in a #1 pick in 2009 or 2010.

Eny, don't be stealin mine and Finestrq's thunder, we've been pleading for the Knicks to get this guy for a while now.

I'm not sure what kinda combination can be worked between us and Portland, but you guys know where I stand on this guy by now - I think he's a very talented, exciting, pass-first PG who also can score the ball. D'Antoni and the Garden fans would love this kid. I agree he should be starting (he's a better player than Steve Blake) but yeah, for whatever reason, Nate McMillan doesn't love him.

NYKBocker, you're not getting Sergio, Rudy AND Outlaw (I don't think so anyway - McMillan loves Fernandez and Outlaw) for that package, esp. with Webster hurt right now. But I could see something along the lines of what Purple suggested - Lee, Rose and Collins for Sergio, Frye and Diogu. That could work. I love Sergio's game and I know this might sound nuts but I actually wouldn't mind trying out Frye again to be honest. He's soft, but he's got a lot of offensive ability - if D'Antoni got a hold of this kid, who knows. All he needs to do is play tougher overall, show us a willingness to mix it up underneath and rebound the ball - all things he should be doing anyway (there are plenty of bigs in the league with half the talent Frye has that at least give you the hustle, bang and play hard) - but the size and the skill level is there (say what you want but he's actually got more God-given talent and skill than David Lee). He's been disappointing, no doubt, but in my mind, there's really no reason why he shouldn't be as good as LaMarcus Aldridge if he ever gave maximum effort.

You might have a better chance if you pleaded with Donnie Walsh instead of people on the UltimateKnicks website

LOL

If we traded Lee, I would want Bayless and Frye.

Bip, I know you got some basketball ties, can you throw me Walsh's phone number.. I'd love to tell him about Sergio.

I just called him. He said he'd get right on that after he fulfilled your first request to bring Larry Brown back
