Why would the Clipps do this???? Clipps have the goods to get almost any player they want. Why would they want Spree and Camby?? The numbers arent even close. Why would the Clipps do that when they can resignt their own players for about the same amount. Why do people overrate Sprewell?

If Q. Woods is available to the Knicks with the 7th pick they should take him. This will allow the Knicks to trade Spree and Camby to the Clippers for Olowokandi and their 8th pick. With that pick they should take Hilario. He is very athletic and has a Wing span that is like a condor. He is young and has a work ethic to be great in the NBA. Q. Wood at 6'9 a Tracey McGrady type player has potential to be a superstar in the league. Adding Olowokandi a 7 footer to the mix and you have front line that has height which will make any team think twice about going in the paint.

Now why the Clipper will do this trade. They get a veteran that will help the young team grow in Spree and they replace Olowokandi with Camby who I think needs a change of senery and a game.

With the second round pick the Knicks can take any point guard that is available Dickau, Logan, Parker or Dixon.

Vmart you are on the right track buddy.. Good post. thats what the knicks need to do, start thinking like that.. and for those who say why would the clippers do that? Well I follow the clippers a lot and Sterling is a cheap azz but looking at spree's and camby's contract they have about 2 years left on them, and for players with that type of talent and experience it is a bargain. Kandi wants about a 6 year deal worth 60-65 mil so they would not tie themselves down with long term deals. The clippers have problems more so with long term deals than deals that pay out big money for short years. People often only look at a players yearly salary and say its too much, what really counts is the length of the deal.... But vmart if you substitute the clipps pick at 8 with their #12 pick then it seems more likely, at least the clipps keep their higher pick, at 12 we could still get a great pick... Again we are talking about the cheap clippers, but you are on the right track with the deals....
