Jimmer for a 2nd rounder? We got any? They want a high second or a low.

Picks are like gold now. They are big assets that teams want.

We got Capspace in 2015. Yeah!!!!

Yea who needs 2nd rounders when you can trade them for guys like Bargnani

NEW YORK KNICKS
Why they will make a move: They’re the Knicks. New York has managed to play more respectable basketball of late, but don’t expect that to appease one of the most panicky front offices in the league. Point guards are reportedly the team’s opiate of choice, with players such as Kyle Lowry and Jeff Teague being linked to the Knicks. Any talent of that caliber would take a significant trade package to pry loose, but we should know better than to doubt New York’s ability to muster roster action beyond reason.

Why they won’t: Past moves have left New York’s cupboard a bit bare. Due to lingering costs of the deals to acquire Carmelo Anthony and Andrea Bargnani, the Knicks are unable to trade any of its own first or second round picks prior to 2018. The only draft pick the Knicks still have in their possession is a 2014 second rounder that originally belonged to Sacramento, though it bears such heavy protection that it almost certainly will not be conveyed.

MAHONEY: Five trades we want to see before the deadline

That leaves the roster pieces on-hand as the sole components of a potential trade, of which only a handful are even reasonably attractive trade pieces. Anthony is reportedly off the table. Tyson Chandler would likely draw some interest, should the Knicks completely sell out any notion of playing defense through 2015. Otherwise, you’re looking at some combination of Raymond Felton (who isn’t particularly attractive trade bait), Tim Hardaway Jr. (perhaps New York’s only long-term prospect), Iman Shumpert (who has been brutal on both ends of the floor), and Beno Udrih (a merely passable player on a minimum salary) as the basis of a potential trade package. Best of luck in constructing a sensible and legal deal for a quality player with that bunch, let alone Rondo.

that would be awesome for us because Houston would probably look to dump Lin at a reasonable price

brutal... it was discussed yesterday and is off now because of the knee

I thought I read it depends on his MCL, if it's torn or just sprained? Anything official come out on Shumps knee status?
