I agree it makes sense for the Knicks to get any kind of big man even Vin Baker and a point too. I like the trade Vin can give decent number and if he is happy he will definitely be a big plus. Baker goes back to being the 18-8 guy with Dice giving them 20-10 this is a potent line up for the Knicks and it makes it difficult for team to leave anyone open. If Spree and Houston do what they do you have four guys putting up numbers. Both Williams would bring quickness to the team at the point. This team will go far in the playoffs maybe even to the finals. But if they don't start out the gate fast then I can say only one thing Tank the season.

Why should we want williams? we have guys/ Eisley at the point.

I'd rather Seattle take back Eisley/Weatherspoon and Anderson/Harrington for Baker/Williams.

I like this trade also because Williams (Shammond) is quicker more athletic than Eisley. According to what I am hearing from Chaney about this new uptempo style of play both Williams' are better adapted.

My lineup would be kinda decent

PG S Williams, F Williams
SG A Houston, L Postell
SF L Spreewell, S Anderson
PF A Mcdyess, C Weatherspoon
C V Baker, Harrington or free agent
C V Baker,
knicker for life

I'd rather want Keon Clark then Baker. A poster at RealGM.com said the Knicks and the Raptors were talking about a Thomas/Clark swap...

Earth to Knicks: Baker is terrible. Overweight, depressed, not even a 7 footer, huge contract. Any positives? Not really. Come on, that trade is terrible. Shammond Williams hasn't ever done anything. Ward and Thomas for Van Exel or if you need to, trade Thomas to get Keon Clark. A young center or a point guard who can help Spree in leading this team. Say all you want about Van Exel being a cancer, but with Houston and McDyess as two of the quietiest people in the league, the Knicks need people to take charge. That means Spree is untradeable since he's the heart and soul, and getting a guy like Van Exel, who's played with Dyess before and will call for his teammates to be better can only help. In the east a decent point guard, two really good guys on the wing and a dominant power forward could take them places. Hopefully Clark can be taken with the exception. Please Keon, please.

Have you guys read today's NY Post article on the Knicks? They said the Knicks might offer Clark the maximum length for the exception - a six-year, $35 million deal. They're also saying the Knicks will be pursuing Radoslav Nesterovic of the Timberwolves...

Nesterovic, Radmanovic, Drobjnak, Dampier, Foyle, Nazr Mohammed, Keon, Jarron Collins, Jerome James, Olumide Oyedije and whoever I forgot.

Knicks need 2 centers, one to start and one to backup.

No offense is required but would be nice, they have to run, rebound and occasionally block the ball and be a presence in the middle.

Furthermore the Knicks needs to sign some youngsters for the remaining roster spots. Kei Madison (sf/pf) and Smush Parker come to mind.

Ha, KBY, your last post looked like a job ad. "Needed: Center who can run, occasionally block, etc.," Good stuff. I agree, Knicks need two more centers to make the Thomas/Ward for Van Exel available.
