This is from ESPN Insider:

The latest has the Knicks and Hawks talking about a trade that would send Spree and Othella Harrington to Atlanta for Jason Terry, Nazr Mohammed and Alan Henderson. The Hawks have been shopping Terry since they acquired Dan Dickau on draft night.

According to one Hawks souce, the coaching staff doesn't believe Terry has a future as a two guard because of his size. While he's shown flashes at point guard, the Hawks would prefer to deal him and bring in a more experienced, taller two guard that would allow them to play Dickau. Spree, who has been stuck playing out of position in New York his entire tenure there, meets the description. With young swingmen like Dion Glover and DerMarr Johnson waiting in the wings, the Hawks can afford to let Terry slide away.

The Knicks, who are desperate to upgrade at point guard and center, get both needs taken care of with one fell swoop. Mohammed is better than any free agent centers out there right now. Terry's game is hard to figure out, but the Knicks believe he can still play the point. While Henderson's salary (3 years, $22 million remaining) is tough to swallow, that has never stopped the Knicks in the past. The Knicks have been trying to get Toni Kukoc thrown into the swap instead of Henderson, but right now the Hawks aren't budging.

Thats a retarded trade, we dont need an under sized SG (Jason terry can't play the point) and another bad contract. We need a pure PG , who will dish...
Layden , cant be this stupid, we need to keep spree and KT and wait for a better deal.

unless we get dre, don't move spree

It's probably time for Spree to go but who are you referring to as a deficient on defense and lacks fire????
Players like Allan Houston. ONE cat like that on our team is enough. I've made my opinion known regarding several players and scenarios often enough for those who post here regularly to recall, so read the hot topics that we both posted on for the last few weeks or so (they are too numerous to mention). No need for me to be redundant here.



Look, Knicks need to get younger and Spree isn't a spring chicken..
And Allan Houston is??? Your words reek of bias already...

Playing sf will slow him down very soon.
So trade Allan Houston and put Latrell Sprewell, the Best Player On The Team, in his rightful SG position. On what other team is the Best Player being forced to play out of position????

Knicks need to get younger and agile
OK, true....

so trading Spree is the next best thing for this organization.
In the world that is your opinion. that is absolutely true. Fortunately there is an outside world. Thank God for this universe of varying opinions.

Terry is better than Spree cause he's smarter, quicker and younger....
You have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to mine. Your bias against Latrell Sprewell, though, is well documented on these boards, and I'm sure I am not the only one who observes that consistency. Try being objective regarding Sprewell. Try hard. Please.

Allan is a bonifide shooter! Most shooters play till over 40. Spree's game is attacking inside so thats alot of wear and tear driving to the basket. Also, spree's game will eventually deteriote to the point where he won't be that good on offense anymore.

Playing sf will slow him down very soon.

I said it before,for the position the knicks are currently in, in order to get something valuable and resolving your need, you would have to trade your best player. For someone like spree whose your best player,why did his team loss 50 games?? I don't wanna hear comments like "OH THE TEAM LACK CERTAIN COMPONENTS, THATS WHY THEY LOSS 50 GAMES". What about the year before when they got knocked out of the 1st round?? befoe spree played for NY,he also was the best player in golden state so what happened there???? He's a poor example of a leader.. He comes late to the games and occasionally misses practice. Thats why Chaney suspended him during the season. You say all these things but can't admit that between spree and H20, chaney prefers to have H20!!

Yo, terry is alot younger and quicker than spree.. You that game where charlotte blew the knicks by 40plus pts, Baron Davis blocked spree like twice in that game.. C'mon man!! Spree got a full 2inch on him and he gonna have Baron block his s--t, what up wit that???

Since you are still doing this, I'll repeat what I said in the other thread:


"We all know Allan is ya boy, and once again, the bias is obvious. Oh, BTW, McDyess wants Spree to stay; and there are teams that would take Allan before Spree because they just need a jump shooter instead of a player with multidimensional skills like Latrell."
