There is true to the rumor. The reason why it's pending is Knicks have to take 2 people in return from Toronto in order to get Mo. That's the only way works under the cap. As you see the Knicks situation, they already have 15 guaranteed contracts which is the limit in the NBA. The Knicks are looking for a third team to get involve.

This is what I heard: The New York Daily News reports the Toronto Raptors are holding up a deal that would send Morris Peterson and another player to the Knicks for Othella Harrington. The personnel meets the needs of both teams, but the Raptors are reluctant to make the deal because Harrington has another year left on his contract.

The Raptors are buggin about 1 year left on a relatively decent contract. If that's how stingy these GMs are, its gonna be almost impossible to ever rid the knicks of shannon anderson and eisley.

if the deal goes down.can the next move be Peterson n Thomas in a package trade for Jalen and Crawford.

Nobody wants Harrington; Layden has been shopping him for an SG or swingman for weeks. Portland and Denver (D.A. and Rodney White, respective trade targets) both want Doleac, but Layden was reluctant to trade his only cost-effective player (a guy who doesn't get paid a lot but gets good numbers per minutes played) while McD was still out.

With McD looking like he could be half decent, and with Mutumbo playing well, Layden may be willing to trade Doleac. Toronto wants a C. Doleac is a C (not a post-up dunking kind, but a decent backup.) Doleac has been good for us off the bench, but our scoring needs help. If no one will take Othella (shocking as it may sound!) we could run KT as the other C to Mutumbo, get some speed and scoring.

Now that Toronto has dealt their frontcourt for Jalen Rose, Mo Pete is even more expendable and Toronto needs a C.

Well if you think like a gm there would be other things to consider. #1 It has only been a few games and Rose isn't scoring that much so far and we know that will change.#2 If you are thinking like a gm and your team could possibly challenge for eastern title(and end of facing a team from the west) ,you have to have big strong solid center who can take guys like shaq away from the basket with jump shots ala Divac etc... .

i hate to break this to you but doleac doesnt really turn me on. yes he has a nice jumpshot and a big body, but is he really an inside player? is he a starter? is he better than mike bradley? he's inconsistent. again if im toronto im going to play with the guys i have right now and if a deal looks nice then maybe i swing something. can i get someone like melvyn ely form the clippers or wilcox once Brand comes back? to me there are better options than doleac . Im not saying that mo pete is a world beater because he isnt. he just as likely to shoot 0-6 as he is 3-5. but his value has jumped in the last two weeks as he has played better. they do have lamond murray and they could be jacking pete's trade value, but in a soft east a VEY soft east, there is no sense of urgency IMHO--to change something that is working right now. mo pete has been worth 10 points as 6th man--am i going to get that production from doleac? i think toronto is likely done until the trade deadline. im just scared that laydumb will start throwing around 1st round picks for back ups.

i hate to break this to you but doleac doesnt really turn me on.
