Jamal Crawford Mo Taylor Josh Childress 5th Overall Pick Pick (from Atlanta) 20th Pick (from New York)
To New York
Rashard Lewis Danny Fortson
To Atlanta
Luke Ridnour Mikki Moore 10th Pick (from Seattle) 2nd Round Pick (from Seattle)
WHY?
Seattle - Times is rough for Seattle. They've been trying to cut costs b/c of ownership "issues". Since they plan on resigning Wilcox, they slash some payroll to do so, and build through the draft instead of having to overpay Rashard in the future. Crawford's a hometown kid, and isn't making nearly as much as Shard will. Plus with the 5th pick, who do you draft?
Brandon Roy. Another hometown kid.
New York - B/c Rashard has All-Star written all over him. That, and b/c we desperately need some outside shooting. He can post up too. Fortson is a 1 year loan, but gives us some nice energy and badass....ness, off the bench. Crawfords been playing well, but our backcourt is stacked as it is, and teams may not bite on Francis. If they do, a trade I personally like is Francis for Tinsley and Croshere.
Tinsley Marbury Rashard D. Lee Curry
Just hypothetically speaking, that's a ****in lineup I LIKE...
Atlanta - B/c Ridnour is better than Marcus Williams, and they NEED a PG......

DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure.
And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.
