2 things to add:

1) Does anyone think that all of the Denver and Portland and Charlotte rumors means either someone within the Knicks org or just outside of it is leaking? In a good way?

2) Follow-up from Tommy from his own blog comment section:
This was the post from gym rat Bathija who apparently has serious ties to the Clips/

I haven’t been able to confirm this from my clippers source yet…

…the trade will send Marcus Camby and Channing Frye back to the Knicks along with Deandre Jordan from a trade exception, Jerryd Bayless and Jason Hart.

The Trail Blazers will receive David Lee and Anthony Roberson from the Knicks and Brian Skinner and Ricky Davis from the Clippers.

The Clippers will receive Quentin Richardson, Malik Rose and Sergio Rodriguez. One source has said the trade should be complete by next week. All salaries/.roster spots work out for all teams….

my name is mike dunleavy and i am mentally retarded.

Really boils down to Lee for Jordan and Bayless since those 2 would be the long term pieces we'd keep here, and Lee is the major piece we'd be giving up. That's 2 pretty good young prospects that we'd be controlling for cheap...

This would be a slam dunk if Jefferies could be subbed for Q or Malik (and thus save us another 7 mil in 2010), but its still reasonably compelling right now.

Camby is obviously a great short term answer for Lee's productivity.

I would have to agree...that's a lot of moving parts a pretty awful trade for the Clips, who get two forked players and only one decent prospect back for Camby and Jordan...

But you usually see stuff like this across the board. And I haven't seen it. It's usually bigger rumors going around and I don't put too much vested interest in one blog, site of whatever. But if you say it's out there, then I'll go look to see what I can find. I just can't believe they'd want to get rid of Lee. And I never understood why so many here want him gone.

I don't think anyone wants to just flat out get rid of David Lee. What it is, as I've tried to illustrate and probably not so well, is that we're looking to execute the John Gabriel 2-max-FA summer plan (he did it with orlando, he was brought in here to help do it here). That summer is 2010. You sign Lee to a lucrative contract (which he deserves) you cannot execute the aforementioned plan. Is David Lee a good enough player to give up on a 2nd max FA? A number of people think not. That's why you see people figuring out trades involving David Lee.

Lee for that bum Oden, Bayless and a 1st round pick. Time to make a stand here and stop Portland insanity.

That is very interesting.

NY Recieves: Camby, Frye, Jordan, Bayless, Hart
NY Trades: Lee, QRich, Malik

That's a very good package. I hope that source is right. I wonder why the Clippers are making this trade though?

Interesting? Thats an unbelievable package if DW can pull that off. Dumping Q along with Lee, and getting prospects like Bayless and Jordan, not to mention Camby and Frye who I think is tailor made for this system. I just can't believe Dunleavy would make that trade. But then again......

Until Dunleavy pulls the trigger and then you have his apologists saying what a crafty move he just made.

I'd be very surprised if that trade went down.

Would be a good trade for us though

I'll go first.

Having Frye back is just too depressing. Now I know this thread is crazy.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Any rumors about who we are getting back?

Jerryd Bayless and a #1 PICK.

first off thanks martin, I know you're always paying attention.

Secondly guys in fairness, you can blast my site if you want. I have already built some credibility, but this is not about me, never has been. Let's just be clear.

I have sources around the league (not that difficult when you know the right people) and i had someone post the clippers deal in my comment section. I got on the phone and no one had heard of it but I heard plenty of rumblings that the Blazers have a man crush on lee for the reason stated. They appear to be interested in making a move.

For me there would have to be a third team involved, but I haven't confirmed with sources ( or the people who helped me break the Randolph trade 15 minutes before Alan hahn as well as Marbury suiting up. I also had Harrington for Crawford on the radar in July. It's on the blog check it out) about this clippers thing, so at this point I'm not putting my name to it.


Can someone please defend the rack?

They could have! Up until the draft, reports had D'Antoni and Bayless being connected in some way???? Bayless had said he was familiar with the D'Antoni system... and watched several tapes of Steve Nash. If the Knicks had elected to draft a guard, we had 3 targets (Gordon, Westbrook and Bayless)... As you know, the Knicks opted for The Rooster instead.. hahaha.

I like Bayless.. I think he can score. I doubt that he is a point guard in the truest sense of the word, however he does have upside and would look good here in NY. If we get back a #1 pick... that would be cool as well.
