Definitely a trade to consider. Balkman does not make Lee expendable, but he does do alot of what Lee does and he is a better defensive player. It really boils down to this: if you think this team can contend for a championship in the next 2-3 years, then you trade for O' Neal. If you don't, then you stand pat and let guys like lee, Blakman, and Collins develop and see what you have in two years. I would think that with Marbury, Q, Balkman, O'Neal, and Curry, that would be a pretty good lineup, but I am inclined to keep Lee and focus on trading Frye and Nate. Frye and Nate and change probably won't land us O'Neal but we should still be able to get a high draft pick or a solid player for one or both.

It's a risky move, albeit a one you have to consider.


For one, ALWAYS sell high.

Lee has the most trade value of anyone on the roster.


2, Even DPOY cands like Hakeem and Drob needed low post help.


But I don't think JO is the answer b/c there aren't enough points to go around down low.


Some realistic options:



JO
Rasheed Wallace
Udonis Haslem
Anderson Vareajo
Kendrick Perkins
Nene
Mikki Moore
Shawn Marion
Darko Milicic
Joakim Noah
Al Horford

Here's some trades to consider:


DLee & 23 for Noah/Horford

DLee, 23, and Malik Rose for Nene

DLee and Malik Rose for Resigned Milicic

Dlee, 23, and Malik Rose for Rasheed Wallace

DLee and Malik Rose for Udonis Haslem

Dlee for Mikki Moore & 1st

DLee for Perkins

Dlee for Veraejo & 1st

DLee, Malik Rose, & 23 for Shawn Marion

Dlee, Crawford, Malik Rose for JO

DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

I don't think it's that simple. If things don't work out with Jermain, then he is a player you can still move around and bring in some new pieces with. The trade wouldn't be as lock down as some make it out to be.

I originally stopped reading after Nene and Milicic...but then I noticed you offered the same package for Nene as you did for the Matrix?

If Zeke trades DLee, Balkman or Collins there will be a coup d'État!

I only think the coup applies to Lee. If it takes Balkman and Collins to get JO, I think the fans will be very happy. Ditto for Frye. But you are waaay overrating both Collins and Balkman.

Not overating them at all. I know they have a ways to go but they represent a great base for the future. Hard working, defensive minded team players who do not back down.

Yes, could be the nucleus to build around for a real Knicks defensive team in a few years.

LOL............


I guess in a purest sense of Value, we couldn't turn down Lee for Joneil. But I think there is alot of knicks that would almost sign for two more years of losing if you promised that the knicks were going to buikd around Dlee and Balkman with the picks. I don't want to give up either.

I agree. Dlee trade will be the definitive move for me to let this Knicks thing go.
It's like tuff love. You holding on to it and then some final little thing coming out... and it's over.

Whatever. Whenever you have an opportunity to get the best player in a trade, you consider it. We kind of got bitten in the butt a little bit w/ the Francis/Ariza deal, and the Eddy Curry for Tim Thomas & Draft picks deal (when it turned out the draft picks were both lottery!).

we seriously need to rethink that mantra. or at least, adhere to the "consider" part more so than actually pulling the trigger every time. if we keep cashing in all our assets on chasing stars, we'll perpetually be a few years away from competing and have our flaws exposed night after night.

then how is this even a question!? i love a lot of the players on this team, but there is absolutely no realistic way we compete for a championship in the next 2-3 years.

so i guess i'm saying i agree, but don't think o'neal's that much of a difference-maker for us.

Indi blow it big time with JO and much better personnel that we have.
Why JO and our scrubs will have better results?

I'm not too sure Indy would trade with us unless they were ripping us off.

More and more i'm leaning towards the patient approach. We dont have to make any crazy or risky moves at this point. We've got a lot of 20 something players and in 2 years we can make better decisions on which way to go. At that point in time it will be clear what this group is all about and if we should blow it up and start over or just look to add that star player.
