I see where you're going Fish -- getting this kid Randolph would be tremendous -- but if it's really the potential firesale out there like we're hearing, the guys I'd really want would be Randolph, Ellis, Morrow, CJ Watson, Brandon Wright and of course Steph Curry. Don't really have too much of an interest in anyone else on that team...
If we ever put together a blockbuster to get Randolph AND Ellis (to get both of those guys together in the same deal, I wouldn't care what young pieces we'd had to give up -- Hill, Doulgas, Gallinari, a future pick or two, whatever man -- even Lee & Nate though I doubt they'd agree to go there), now you can stand there with a straight face when you sit LeBron down next off-season to sell him on the Knicks' future. LeBron..Ellis...Anthony Randolph...Even if we'd have to renounce everyone else on the roster, that's a PHENOMENAL trifecta to go forward with right there...If we ever got to a position to put those 3 together, you piece together the rest of the roster with role players just like Chicago did with Jordan & Pippen and go to war...IMO, for Randolph & Ellis, you go all-in on a trade like this. Not so much for Randolph & Maggette (Corey's contract is awful, not to mention he'd add to the SF logjam we already have - in your trade scenario, would you really want to bring him here to play ahead of AR, Chandler or Gallo??). No thanks to Corey Maggette but it sounds like we might be able to do something with Golden State here.. If we can get Randolph & Ellis and still maintain enough of a salary slot to add one max FA, it's a no-brainer if ever there was one...
Now I'm dying to wake up one of these mornings and read in the paper that Walsh is having conversations with the Warriors....Pick up the phone Donnie. Where there's smoke, there's fire -- he's gotta jump on this before some other team out there engages the Warriors..
LET'S GO!!!!!!!
