any deal with the Kings betta include Garcia

No doubt he'd be a nice player to bring in. A nice shooter at the 2...

No, but would you consider Q+Nate+Frye for Artest?

i wouldn't. i can't possibly see artest working out with a building squad in ny. he needs to become a rental player for contending teams. plus the guy's now shooting a career low 38%. i think we'd end up regretting big-time bringing him in here.

I totally agree, moving any of our young bigs will be abandoning the youth movement...Artest had a better cast in Indiana and they couldn't get it done...I think we continue to develop the young guys here and be patient...I will try Artest for a throw away player like Malik and Nate or a Balkman and Nate or Jeffries and Collins...None of our young bigs...

great..another shoot first guard.


Let's be realistic now......Artest is 10X the player Lee is. and as much as I enjoy watching Lee play, He will prolly be nothing more than a 6th man in the NBA. Artest in a Knick uniform will make them one of the favoites in the East.

with that said....I wouldn't make a trade like that because you never know what your're getting with Artest. Especially if you're bringing him back home. Plus...If I.Thomas brings him in, it will just show that he has no faith in Balkman and Jeffries. 2 players that HE brought in to fix that 3 spot.

Successful Scenario

New York and Sacramento had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
