I saw this on another board. Its a good trade and its one that I suggested in one of the many "trading Francis" threads.

Knicks trade Francis for Eddie Jones. I don't know Stro Swifts salary but he could also be included since he has no desire to be there.

This makes sense for both teams. Memphis was one of the teams in the hint for Francis' service at last years trading deadline. Kyle Lowry is developing slowly and Stoudamire is comming off a serious injury. Knicks move Francis' contract for Eddis Jones who expires at seasons end. Jones is also a natural SG. Good defender out on the perimiter and can stick the three (he might work well with Marbury who loves to drive and kick)

Including Stro-Swift might include another body from the knicks (Mo Taylor). Swift never lived up to potential the media labeled on him, but he could be a servicable back-up PF/center who can block shots, run the floor and give energy off the bench.

Don't know how you guys feel about this trade. just thought I'd throw it out there...

BTW, sorry for the typo in the theads heading

Francis for Jones is a good trade for both teams. Gasol needs another superstar (assuming francis is that) and they just lost Bobby Jackson. Jones would be good here too. He would probably be the most consistent outside shooter and he can still defend. He would also be a great teacher for Crawford and Collins at the SG spot. Moreover, getting him would allow us to be at the salary cap that following year.

Unless Isiah is trying it and not some guy in an internet message board then I'd have to say no it's not possible.
