I mean salary cap be damned, this is interesting, I would be willing to give up ariza but not lee. Crawford might thrive in Orlando, then we can make post on how we gave up a great young talent in crawford for Stevie boy...

First things first. If this is a deal that is on the table that I am definately down for doing it. Francis is a pure upgrade over Crawford and lets remember, the Knicks are the ones getting the value in this trade. Francis was traded for Tracy McGrady and did not want to play in Orlando, from day one he was traded he didn't want to go there. So to get a guy that was traded for TMac and, when he's playing fully ontop of his game is an all-star in either conference, for Craw, Penny and Nate then there is no doubt that you do it.

Second of all. If Cato is traded for Darko, the Magic can include Tony Battie into the deal and it still works under the cap and his contract comes off the books this summer. MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

I still don't see how Francis and Marbury would be a good thing. Their style of play is very similar, we don't get younger, and we take on another large salary.

Sounds like the Darko deal is almost done, now Orlando can focus on working out the details to get this deal done. Edit: Wow, I didn't know Arroyo would be going to Orlando as part of that deal--Francis is definitely on the way out!

I didnt know until now that Arroyo was part of that deal either, your right, that should almost seal the deal for Francis to the Knicks. I dont know, I think this could be a really good deal for the Knicks.

Looks like Penny may get his wish and end his career in Orlando after all.

Make it happen! I'm down to see marbs and Francis together. What do the knicks got to lose? There is always gonna be one of them in the paint causing havok. Get it done damn you!

Hey good to see your name around again hardcore!

Glad to be seen, ENY!

When I read this news I had to let the fellas here know. I guess we gotta wait and see what finally pans out.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

its funny last year when everyone had huge expectations for our expiring contracts I kept saying watch us wind up with Francis because thats the kind of player you get for expiring contracts, castoffs & undersized SGs with huge contracts and everyone hated the idea. Now people are getting excited about a Marbury/Francis backcourt worth what $160mm? Kiss any dreams of rebuilding a championship team goodbye for the next 5yrs now.

I wouldn't mind a Marbs/Francis backcourt but the only way it would work is if LB let's them run wild.....and he probably won't do that!! They are not trying to save the season but they want to make sure they can put butts in seats next season.

I like the trade because more talent gives the KNicks more options.

But will LB coach a slashing, athletic style? Or a less entertaining regimented game?

It also begs the question: Is Steve Francis the kind of player who LB will allow to breathe?

My guess is yes, because what LB wants is good players.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

The dude is the best player we can get with the way the Knicks run their organization.

Make it so, Zeke.

Anyone wonder whether getting Francis might be just so we have more things the Nuggets want in order to get us Kenyon and Earl Watson?

another random thought: anyone think teams might actually want to trade with NY because the assumption will be they robbed Isiah no matter what the trade is?

If Francis becomes a knick then they should get old school and play each other for it. Game 11 by ones.

I still wonder if this part of a move to get Kmart.
