Yeah, I remember that post. It was so funny, I forgot to laugh.

Anderson can play SF as well as 2 guard. The same goes with Spoon playing the 4. He's short, but he's strong a la LJ and MAse.

I would rather have Foyle than Dampier because of his shot blocking ability.

I dont get the joke!! Last year, Lavor was always on the IR, but this year CHaney's gonna get him on the floor more.

Lavor will be hard pressed to even make the team. Houston, Spree, Anderson, all of whom are much better. Where do you think the minutes for Lavor are gonna come?

Eisley, Ward, Houston, Spree, Spoon, Dice, Doleac, Harrington, Thomas, Knight, Williams, Anderson. That's 12 spots. Williams may start on the IR, but Lavor will be on there the whole season.

Yeah, I made the post about the IR. Weatherspoon is a SF primarily, but can play PF. Anderson is usually a 2, but he can play 3. Like nwny said, there just isn't room for Postell on the team.

Here's a better trade idea.

Send Shandon Anderson (and Harrington) back to Utah.

Send Ostertag to NY.

Works cap-wise and gets rid of Anderson's awful contract. Gets NY a banger in the middle, which is NY's most critical need. Tag also has a short term contract and next year, he would be a restricted FA, so resigning him would be easy and relatively cheap at that time.

It's time for Layden to start thinking outside the box.

Oh right. And Utah says: yes sir, thank you, may I have another. Translation? They get screwed. They would never do this deal.

The best chance Layden has is to wait til end of 2003 where he'll have options on trades. He could even get andre miller or a big guy during the free agent period. Knight and ward will have one yr left on their contract. Layden could use them as trade bait along with one of the knicks regulars to obtain a bonifide player in the free agent market. I'm sure there will be teams not able to afford their own free agent. So they'll be willing to trade their free agent player and obtain players with one yr contracts..

Think about this for a second...teams cant afford to pay their players, so theyll do a sign and trade with a free agent for one-year contracts?? That makes NO sense! If the free agent walks they get under the cap (or their situation improves). Instead, why would they take back equal monitary value so they can wait anotheR year to be in the same situation they could have been the previous year?? It doesnt have any reason behind it .. why trade a player with 0 years left for players with 1 year left on their contracts if you wanna go under the cap??
