New York trades to Portland
SG Allan Houston (20.4 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.5 apg in 37.8 minutes)
PG Charlie Ward (5.2 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 3.2 apg in 16.8 minutes)
PF Othella Harrington (7.7 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 0.5 apg in 20.3 minutes)
Portland trades to New York
PG Damon Stoudamire (13.6 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 6.5 apg in 37.3 minutes)
PF Dale Davis (9.5 ppg, 8.8 rpg, 1.2 apg in 31.4 minutes)
TRADE ACCEPTED
Due to New York and Portland being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. New York and Portland had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement
-----------------
Ward has a 3mil buy-out after this season, Harrington is dirt cheap at about 3mil per, and Houston is a 20ppg scorer who will flourish with a low post presence (Wallace in PDX, McDyess in NY)

NY get a PG to push the offence in a much more uptempo fashion, and Davis is a perfect complemnt to McDyess.

What do you guys think?
I would do the deal if Wells is included instead of Stoudamire. That way Thomas is expendable and they can try a make a move for NVE who I like more than Stoud.
This way the Knicks have:
Wells sf
Dice pf
Davis c
Spree sg
NVE g.
This team either win the east or explodes.
