you think Houston would do that? I can't see that they would include pick 8.

Steve Francis is a tremedous upgrade from what they have--i think its a good deal for them
they didnt really use swift and rafer was just plain bad. I think for us--i still do believe swift can be a very good third big if given continuos minutes --we move up 12 spots and rafer is a third PG


i mean houston could snag

Steve Francis
Hilton Armstronmg for example is that bad for
rafer
swift
pick 8 and 32?

I like Rafer....he has shown he can play point in the NBA. He was great in Houston last season when he was healthy.

The way he plays point is more like what we all want in a point guard.....but I think the media would flame broil his ass too.

I live near Toronto and got a chance to see Rafer play a lot and learn a lot about his character. If you think Marbury or Francis is a cancer, you've seen nothing. Rafer's attituded is much worse.

I think Houston is a good team to deal with, but I say a big NO to Stromile. He is an awful players with no brain. He is just athletic.

No thanks then. The last thing the Knicks need is a cancer at PG. Why can't we have a distributor and a defensive player for once!

Unless we do something like Francis for Martin[and thats not a good $ deal for the knicks] you need a deal--like marbury's where you take back salaries and grab a high pick with it. If I can get Marcus Williams to be our PG---i will do it. That would be my goal as a knick boss-----i will do whatever is in my power to move up to get both Williams and Obryant ---now can I entice Houston and Minnesota into deals? I do think there is a legitimcy---because we can offer a high value player to teams who are trying to win now--take back guys who havent worked out[who would be our role players/bench guys or moved again---and in these trades IF the guys we want are there--we can also include the later 1 to each team keeping them in the draft. Now the guy I WANT has to be there for me to consider doing this--thats the big thing--otherwise after 6-8 i dont think the level of player is materially different from 20/29
