Houston no longer has use for Cato and they need to get rid of him to make room for Ming. I suggest a trade that will help the Knicks. Send KT for Cato straight up use the exception on Jerome James. They get two shot blocking centers. Cato may come cheaper than KT he may be had for Spoon and Harrington. The Knicks can use and offer of KT, Williams and future number one picks for Baron Davis something that Hornets would consider.

We cant trade our toughest player in kurt thomas. Kurt Thomas is the knicks physical player they cant trade him.

I posted this topic over at Clutch City.
Most were receptive to a deal for Cato, with 2 possible deals being favored.

I think this is the best
Othella Harrington
Charlie Ward
4
Kelvin Cato

But this one was also discussed
Kurt Thomas
Travis Knight
4
Kelvin Cato
Kenny Thomas

I would much rather deal Big O / Ward for Cato, without doubt.

I would do this second deal and i think it would be more fair if Houston replaced Thomas with Morris. I would still do it and it would be very fair. Cato would be a decent back-up center because of his size and ability to block shots and grab boards. I would prefer Jerome James over him though because James brings a little more size.

Cato has no heart. Its sad because he is so talented if he put his mind to it. He seems like he doesnt like playing bball. If you ever watcxhed him alot he isnt a hard working player.

But the Harrington + ward deal would be nice. We would free up the PG spot and get rid of another PF. Seems good but it all depend on how bad Houston wants to get rid of Cato.

The Rockets have three power forwards already. The Rockets will not trade any of their players unless some team offers a deal they cannot refuse.

Yo, yo, yo! Don`t touch my man Kurt Thomas. KT and Spree are the only true Knicks, playing tough and with heart `n soul. People always compare the actual Knicks with the Knicks of the early 90´s. Spree and Thomas are the only guys beeing close to that.

By even mentioning K. thomas name in a Cato trade is disrespect. You do not trade Thomas who we all know is our Hardcore,physical player. We don't need Cato who has no offense whatever....

Kurt Thomas is overrated. I watched every Knick game this past season (his supposed break-out year). What I saw was a guy who’s a decent back-up, forced to start. He didn’t do anything different. His 15 foot jumper has always been there. I like him coming off the bench, but he has trouble with the more athletic power forwards, because he has very, very, slow feet. Which is what leads to his foul trouble. For me, he’s not untradeable. If the deal gets us a shot blocking rebounder that’s not always in foul trouble, we should do it. The reason why the Knicks was such a poor rebounding team is because their PF’s play too far away from the basket. I love Camby, and I’m sad he’s gone but when he and Kurt was on the floor at the same time the Knicks would never get an offensive rebound because they are both jump shooters. We need an INSIDE banger. Kurt did all his banging from 10 feet and beyond. That’s another reason he was always in fool trouble. They refs let you get away with physical play UNDER the basket, not 10 feet away. When he learns this he’ll be much more effective. But he has no back-to-basket game. Let’s get a center and be on our merry way.

dampier/foyle for either ward/eisley would be tight.
