ON nba INSIDER, they suggested knicks and mavericks do a trade.. It was Kurt Thomas and charlie ward for NIck van exel which works capwise.. Personally, i would not do this trade cause you're trading a big guy for a little guy and what happens if we cannot get a couple of big guyys later on?? Knicks would be screwed big time... Kurt thomas is a physical hard worker who can bang with the big boys.. you really can't find players like that...

VanExel wouldnt mesh with our current buch. I like VanExel but he more a high scoring PG when we already have 3 high scoring players which will kill our chemistry. Id only do it if the Knick didnt have Sprewell and got back a player like Olowakandi.

The beauty of getting NVE is that you get scoring to the point where you can put any 7' center who rebounds well and blocks shots, does put backs and sets monster picks to open up the scorers . A player comes to mind Marc Ivaroni. The 76ers used him as a solid role player that allowed others to have scoring oppertunities in their championship season. Another player Kurt Rambis did it probably better than any player.

Ok fellas, i see your pt. especially V-mart comments not needing a scoring big man.. I would do the trade only if we already picked up a Jerome James for shot-blocking purposes and Michael Doleac who luvs to pick n roll. That way, we still have some big guys to play the middle where Kurt T. is expendable. Honestly, i would trade Crazy eyes for a Olowakandi like you had mentioned, falcindor. This way you're trading for a natural center whose much bigger.
