who do you believe?
philly journalist: "Spree + KT for Mutombo"
or
ny journalist: "KT + Ward + Knight for Mutombo"
To be honest, I think too much nyreporters are taking the "vecsey" approach on sports, if it checks out in the realgm tradechecker I can report it as a trade rumor. Too bad D'Allessandro hasn't written anything about this as of yet, he's probably the only NY reporter left with a spotless record.
I believe both were options at one pt. I think that Billy King wanted to ditch Mutombo badly. And Thomas is solid... if Thomas were 6'11" instead of 6'8" or listed 6'9" - we'd be saying he was great...
If the nets can play 6'9" PF A-Train (Aaron Williams) at Center, why can't we? KT can play in the post, but Chaney tells him to play center, but play a Charles Oakley game, from 15 feet out and hit baseline jumpers all day to draw the opposing center out from under the basket (since he's not overpowering them underneath). That is the same game Doleac plays and will ask to play.
In recent history, the only Knicks players that played in the deep post was LJ and Ewing. (Felton Spencer doesn't count, but he played deep too)
And now that we have Dice, he will be asked to own the post inside.
