Knicks being curt with Kurt on deal BOSTON - Preliminary talks between the Knicks and Kurt Thomas regarding a contract extension for the veteran power forward have stalled before really getting started. "We've had discussions but they haven't been very fruitful," said Thomas' agent, Jerry Hicks. "The fact that they've expressed interest in doing something with Kurt, we interpret that to be a positive, but nothing has happened." Thomas, who had six points and eight boards last night against Boston, can exercise a buyout clause in his contract this summer and become an unrestricted free agent. But until the Feb. 19 trading deadline passes, he is a prime candidate to be traded, possibly to Portland in a deal for Rasheed Wallace. Isiah Thomas has said that he wants to keep Kurt Thomas, but that hasn't stopped the Knicks' president from pursuing Wallace. Unless a third team is included, the Blazers would trade Wallace to the Knicks only if Thomas were part of the deal. Yesterday, a Portland newspaper reported the Blazers were discussing a deal with Golden State that would send Nick Van Exel and Erick Dampier to Portland for Wallace. With Allan Houston out indefinitely with sore knees, it is unclear if Isiah Thomas would make a run at Van Exel, who can play either guard position. Thomas would like to make the Knicks more athletic along the front line, which is why he is after Wallace. A trade for Van Exel also would have to include Kurt Thomas. If Thomas is still around after Feb.19, the Knicks would want to re-sign him but they also run the risk of alienating someone who has a history of doing the unexpected. Thomas, who is from Dallas, left the Mavs as a free agent after being insulted by their contract offer. It was believed Thomas would re-sign with Dallas until the moment he joined the Knicks. Thomas says that he wants to stay in New York but that could also change. Yesterday, he refused to comment about his contract status. NOTEBOOK CHOOSING ISIAH? Dennis Rodman made a pitch to join the Knicks yesterday saying, "I could play for Isiah," on Howard Stern's radio show. Rodman says four teams are interested in him; the Knicks claim they are not one of them. Frank Isola |
