Of course, these seem pretty unlikely, but these are the kinds of deals, made directly with Denver, that MIGHT make me ok a deal for K-Mart:

K-Mart
Miller
Patterson
Najara

for

Marbury
James
Q

This way we get rid of 3 of the WORST contracts and two of the worst headaches. We get 3 defensive minded players in Martin, Najara & Patterson and a TRUE PG in Miller, who can also score. We still have Lee & Frye so even if K-Mart is busted, we'd have hope for their potential to fill out the PF slot. Miller fits in perfectly because we can start he and Francis in the backcourt, and bring Craw off the bench. Martin and Patterson have bad reputations so that's a danger, but Najara and Miller are team players, which adds two more than the few we currently have. Najara and Miller are also perfect because they don't need to score. Najara is a good defensive player who can spot minutes at the 3 & 4, and Miller is the PG of Larry Brown's dreams.

Of course, I doubt Denver does this deal but this is a deal I might be willing to take.

This next deal CURRENTLY works under the cap, but Nene & Evans are free-agents and I'm not as big of a fan of it, however:

Marbury
James
Q

Martin
Miller
Nene
Evans

Again we get Brown's PG of his dreams, and Evans who is a physical player inside (which we lack)and a rebounding maniac. Nene is coming off of that injury so it's hard to say how he will be, but he can help with the Center position, backing up Curry. The problem is he isn't a very good shot blocker. If Martin is a shell of himself, ad Nene done, at least we get Evans and Miller, both of whom this team need, and rid ourselves of horrible conracts and attitudes.

Anyway, these are two that I noticed which might make me buy a K-Mart trade. The first, however, is more to my liking.

the second trade has zero shot of happening... & personally, i don't think DEN has the slightest bit of interest in trading for Marbury... if the deal is done, it'll be for Steve Francis, or 1 of our expiring contracts (Mo T, Jalen).

how about this one:

Francis
Mo T
SA's pick

for

KMart
Najera
Miller

in that case, i guess Baron Davis is on his way to NY next season.

no offense. really.


but u guys are ****in morons if you think dolan trades marbury for anything less than equal talent.

82-120 since the Stiph trade. anybody we trade him for can help to such a record.

if its about the Dough-lan, the Francis NYK jersey will sell and so will Robinson's. Richardson's jersey may do well also. Lowry's no. 1...fuggettaboutit.

WRONG :( Really does anyone REALLY believe that it was due to Steph that this team hasn't won since he's been here. Just what winning players did we actually have on this team with him. You can see how well KG is doing with a team of losers himself thhe last 2 years. NO ONE PLAYER CAN WIN BY HIMSELF. NOT NASH OR KIDD. YOU NEED A FREAKIN TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I happen to think that we have the makings of a decent team if we allow our young players to continue to develop under the same coach and system. We trade Jalen and Francis and bring in the needed defensive swingman and rebounder/shotblocker and a deep threat. That's really all we need to accomplish this summer. Let this team jell and develop.

no, Kenyon isn't all that appealing, but neither is the prospect of having Steve Francis sitting on the bench making max dollars & being a malcontent for the next few years either... it's about exchanging 1 malcontent player for another & hoping for the best... yes, it's not the ideal way of doing business in the NBA, but at this point, we're not really rich w/great choices... on the plus side, KMart comes here & becomes the defensive force & emotional leader this team has been lacking for the past several years... on the minus side, we have another player making max dollars sitting on the bench not contributing... so what else is new?

i'd rather take the chance at the positive return than toss a player for nothing in return... 2 different mindsets i guess.

Unless we get a guarantee that Marting is not done physically, I don't want that fool in a Knicks uniform.

he has a player opt and its the last year of his contract otherwise. Patterson can choose fee-agency or cut/buy-out.

if addition by subtraction benefits this franchise, then why don't we just tell these guys all to stay the F home & continue to collect their millions for doing nothing at all? why give them away to other teams that they can potentially help for nothing back in return? that's just a moronic way of thinking. (no offense fish, not meant directly at you)
