It's been beaten to death, but why not combine the possible Minn and Denver trades to a 3 way?

Outgoing...
Marbury and Udoka to Minnesota
Francis and Lee to Denver

Incoming...
Blount, Jaric and Hassell (from Minn)
K.Martin and Buckner (from Denver)

(possible picks exchanged?)

While I'm not crazy with the idea of bringing KMart's knees to NY (after McDyess), our roster would be more balanced. I would like the idea of adding a resigned R.Evans to the deal - but unsure if he is cost effective. What would you think of this roster (compared to last years)?

Jaric (N.Robinson)
Crawford (Q.Richardson)
Hassell (Q.Woods)
Frye (K.Martin)
Curry (Blount)

Last 5 - Buckner, Butler, M.Rose, J.Rose - exp, M.Taylor - exp... (buy out J.James regardless)

Picks may have to be exchanged, and roster spots may be an issue - but I think our defensive additions give us a better balance. In tight games, we could actually put defensive players on the floor (Hassell, KMart, Bucker - even Blount is better than James or Curry on defense)

If I could determine the lineup - I would put Jaric and Q.Woods in backcourt, KMart at the 3, Frye at the 4, Curry 5. Feedback?? Would this satisfy Brown's request for defense (if he stays)?

Udoka's the key to the deal.

still not sure of the kmart infatuation

lets trade Marbury for a bunch of skankty strippers and see how we do afterwords.
