Will the #7 pick be enough with a player like Spree or Camby + filler to bring the Coney Island native home? At the 7th spot DuJuan Wagner may still be on the board. Marbury has said the possiblity of NY is exciiting but he doesnt mind being in PHX either. If the Suns were willing to trade Tsakilitis + Marbury Knicks would definitely listen but PHX would probably want us to take a bad contract like Penny. Maybe somthing like this can make everybody happy. Ny has discussed trade for Marbury during the deadline maybe they will up the anti now that we kniw our draft position. PHX is definitely in the rebuild phase with shipping out 2 big part of their offense before the deadline. It can happen if Marbury pushes trade with Phoenix.

Anferenee Hardaway + Stephon Marbury + Jake Tsakilitis
for
Latrell Sprewell + Charlie Ward + Marcus Camby/Kurt Thomas + #7 pick in the draft

If you could have a backcourt of Starbury and Wagner, then I'd do the trade. Don't trade the pick, though. Marbury and Wagner would be completely off the hook. Wow, that'd be fun to watch. I doubt they'd pull the trigger on a deal like that w/o the pick though.

The Knicks on the contrary are in need of backcourt players. We need a legit, young ,productive, athletic point man if we are going to make any noise in the NBA. Please dont loose sight of the big picture here we are not in this to get back to the playoffs we are trying to go all the way and i am sorry luv Jax but he just isnt gonna do it for us not in the long term anyway. I like the deal with Phoenix but only if we get rid of Allan Houston and keep the draft pick because it will be defeating the purpose to give it up if we are trying to get younger. Lets face it we are not going to ressurect over night but i feel with a couple a key moves by are genius GM ,yeah right, I think we will be a little more competitve. On the other hand what we really need and cannot draft or trade for is the return of the pride and passion, burn and desire, the "HEART" that our players once had in NYC.
