Here's an idea -- I'm not sure what Marcus Williams is up to now but I think he's a FA (he went to Europe for a quick stretch before returning to the States to sign a small deal with the Spurs last April). Instead of trading away the #8 for Sergio Rodriguez and a bunch of low picks maybe just grab Williams on the cheap. He might have as much potential as Sergio when you get right down to it. Grab Marcus Williams and just keep the 8th pick. Again, I'm not relinquishing the 8th pick unless there's a strong package coming back.

I take from this Walsh has no interest in trading up for Rubio.

with pick 8...Jrue or Derozan FTW

That would be pretty sweet...

I favor Jrue. When is the Jrue-Curry workout scheduled for?

Sergio Rodriguez to the Knicks!

Mon Jun 08 12:28

June 25, 2009. Madison Square Garden. In that day will be held on 'draft' in the NBA. On that day officially announced the future of Sergio Rodriguez. Informally we can advance that, after three seasons in Portland, the canary will base another dream fulfilled in their promising career as a basketball player: dress shirt from the New York Knicks, one of the most prestigious teams in the NBA.

According to sources at the New York team consulted by Yahoo-Eurosport, the agreement was closed for 20 days between the Blazers and Knicks. As the player who does not wish to make statements on 25, go these days engaged in close daily affairs of what is going to be the everyday player in New York.

The coach of Italian origin, Mike D'Antoni has been the principal protector of the signing of "Chacho" by the Knicks. The team of New York is facing a transition period pending the 2010-2011 season, which wants to effect a coup with the signing of monumental Lebron James, who in the summer of next year will be free agent after its contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The hiring of Sergio, that molds perfectly to the type of game that would make New York with James would have collateral consequences for one of our large bases, Ricky Rubio, who would have no place in the team of Big Apple.

And closes the first stage of Sergio Rodríguez in the best league in the world. A period of light and shadows of the garden of roses, which have been mixed, but has made it clear that to Nate McMillan does not trust his qualities to lead the Oregon. In this last season, the player has participated in Canary 80 matches, including 13 as owner Steve Blake was injured when his shoulder. His averages were 4.4 points and 3.6 assists in 15 minutes. The straw that broke the glass came in the first round of the Play-Offs''''of the series against Houston, which averaged five minutes per game.

At the conclusion of the last game,''11''the Blazers said the newspaper "The Oregonian": "Here, I do not think I can do more. It is impossible. I do not know what will be my future, but I think it will something to happen, either a transfer or something. I believe in me and I feel I need a change. "

Said and done. The player's agent, Jose Ortiz, who had already had contacts with the Knicks and several teams in February, reached a settlement with the New York franchise for the next three seasons.

Meanwhile, the player continues in Madrid, trained under the command of Jack Cuspinera - technical students with the aim of improving the defense and change their shooting technique. The goal: to start the season at the top and leave feeling good from the minute in which one is going to be your new home: Madison Square Garden. Changing garden for one of our great players.

NYK, we do that and now you're cooking with gas.

Combine all of the latest rumors and you've got

El Chacho - Outlaw - The Mayor - The Rooster - Gortat

Derozan - Beaubois - Duhon - Al Jr - Hughes - Darko - Jeffries

That's an explosive team at least.

A couple more guys with nicknames and we'd be set.

Portland gets the 8, we get the no. 2.

DLee is gone. The rest I don't know.

Rubio is gonna be a knick.

How do we end up with the 2nd pick?

Sergio is an assist machine. He destroys guys off the dribble and creates so many open looks for guys. He's all passing. He would average more assists than Nash did under MDA. Would this mean we are trading down to get him? I this alot either way.

Also, wasnt he the guy that destroyed the US and everyone else when Spain won the Gold in the world champs 3 years ago?

Finally, if this happens I REALLY like that we targeted a guy we WANTED. The draft is a crap shoot and so is pick 8. Maybe you get the guy you want, maybe you dont. If MDA and Walsh look at the NBA tape and say this is the guy we want I like this move even more.

Give Gordat the MLE and let Lee walk or sign and trade we got better upfront and in the backcourt. Its a start
