I personally don't think the trade to get rid of Rice and bring in Eisley and Anderson hurt the Knicks.
I think the best possibility for us is to get Foyle for Ward so he can run the 4/5spot.
Out backcourt is better and we are fine for the 2 & 3. What we need is another stellar season from Kurt, for Marcus to stay healthy (that means 70+ games), for Eisley to grasp that starting role (I say it takes 15-20 games for JVG to implement this) and for Houston to stop being such a wimp.
That said, no is going to beat the Lake-show barring anything abnormal, so the point is somewhat moot.
Talent-wise the trade didn't improve us, but chemisty-wise it did and thats what matters. On top of that, we got younger, more athletic and that improves our team a lot. The only thing we are really missing at this point is a solid back-up center who can give Camby a break here and there. Foyle, Miller, Ostertag, Geiger, and White are some possibilities for Ward.
