NEW YORK: The Knicks are still shopping, Keon Clark appears to be in the picture again, but without a deal with Toronto its unlikely. Reports from the region say a deal with Milwaukee died this weekend when Glenn Robinson was arrested. The Knicks are still offering Kurt Thomas and Charlie Ward to a number of clubs, and both players seem to have appeal. Thomas had a breakout season last year, and Ward's ending deal appeals to those looking for space in 2003. The Knicks still seem poised to make a deal, what that deal turns out to be still is not clear.

Seems like Keon Clark is still in the picture for the exception. If we can get him than Layden can't hesitate in offering him the whole exception. If Toronto matches we can just try to swing a deal. Maybe sending Spoon, Harrington, or if it comes down to it, Thomas for Keon.

Thanks for posting that news...
At least that's something about Keon... Maybe the next tidbit will be about his visit to NY. If we had to make a deal w/toronto, I'd give up Spoon or Eisley (if they'd take him). I think we can still keep Kurt and get Clark. If no other trades happen, the $1.4M exeption can be used if needed.

I feel the same as you regarding Clark getting the full exception, he's the only one worth it (and has been).

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Another free-agent center is now off the market. Cezary Trybanski has been signed by the Memphis Grizzlies.

MEMPHIS, Tennessee (Ticker) -- The Memphis Grizzlies on Monday signed 7-1 center Cezary Trybanski, who played last season with MKS Pruszkow of Poland.

Terms were not disclosed.

Trybanski, 22, played just 15 minutes a game last season and averaged 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds. He shot 52 percent from the field and made 62 percent of his free throws in just his third professional season.

"We feel fortunate to have Cezary join our team because he has a tremendous amount of raw talent and has the potential to be a very good player in the NBA," Grizzlies president of basketball operations Jerry West said. "He is athletic, skilled and explosive for his size, and we expect him to develop into a great addition to our team at the post position."

Trybanski will join the Grizzlies' team in the Rocky Mountain Revue in Salt Lake City and is expected to make his debut Wednesday.

Jerry got to him first, Knixkik... How hany days have we been discussing Trybanski?? We were a step ahead of West, now why wasn't Scott LayDown??? They hiring at the Garden? They need some consultants!

Right now it seems like New York is either going to offer Keon Clark a deal(3 to 5 years) for the whole exception or Doleac half of the exception over a 3-year period. The ideal situation would be trading Sprewell, Thomas, and a point guard in a three-way deal and landing Miller and Doleac(s&t) and then signing Clark. Having Clark and Doleac both playing center would be pretty decent.
