Thats the rumor that is going around. Bonzi Wells would go to Toronto and Keon Clark plus a filler like Dell Curry would go back to Portland.

Speaking as Knicks fan, i am praying that this deal doesn't happen. Wells could be the 5th element to their success and with him, i'm not sure if New York would still be the better team. Lets just hope this trade falls threw. Thoughts?

Why would Keon for Bonzi actually happen (from Portland's perspective, as we know that the Raps would do this in an instant)?

Let's break this down -
Portland has 3 Starting Quality PF's
An all-star, first name Rasheed.
Double D, Dale Davis
S. Klump, Kemp

They have a Great rookie PF - Zach Randolph.

Now is Keon better than any of those guys? No. Can Keon Play Center better than any of those guys (or handle Shaq better than any of those guys?) No. Why trade Bonzi then?!? Unless Portland plans on trading away Dale Davis and Keon in a package for someone else (like Vlade Divac/Elden Campbell), but probably not.

I am not even sure this trade works from the Toronto point of view. They already have Childs, Alvin, Carter, Mo Perterson, Tracy Murray in the backcourt and only Hakeem and Davis as regulars in the tall positions. By doing the trade they give up a big man where they are thin and add a redundant player.
