Thomas, Ward, Anderson, and Knight for Zo works capwise. We could also get a decent toss-in like Ernest Brown or Malik Allen. I would do that as well as sending Thomas, Ward, and Knight for Mutombo, but that didn't happen. Right now our best trade bait is Thomas(3-years, 15M and coming off his best season), Harrington(small contract with opt-out clause), and Ward(long contract about to expire). Believe it or not we could actually put them together and be able to get a decent player or two. My thoughts are sending those three to Dallas for Van Exel and either Bradley or Wang Zhi-Zhi, via sign-and-trade. Zhi-Zhi's perimeter game gives McDyess a lot of space to create around the basket and Bradley's shot-blocking ability gives us something we lost when trading Camby. I would prefer Wang, but would take either deal, especially assuming the deal with Bradley would be a lot less complicated. Still, Wang should be attracted to New York for the same reason Yao Ming and the Chinese gov't were.
