i think he meant this one...

Nov. 11 - Take the Newark Star Ledger's report on Sunday about a potential Jalen Rose-for-Spree swap for what it was. Yes, the Knicks have attempted to pry Rose away from the Bulls. No, Jerry Krasue doesn't have the slightest interest in adding Spree to his dysfunctional family. A Bulls source told Insider over the weekend that while the Bulls would certainly entertain trading Rose (and Marcus Fizer and Jamal Crawford for that matter) it wouldn't be to add a bigger headache in return. Rose may not be easy to get along with, but he's younger, more versatile and has yet to have any major off-the-court issues. The Chicago Sun Times, in today's editions, also reported that there was no way that trade will happen because Krause doesn't want Sprewell, and any conversation was just Krause listening to an offer.

According to one league source, the Blazers and Suns are the two teams most likely to get something worked out, but nothing is imminent. The Suns have been trying to pry Sprewell away from the Knicks for a while. If Penny Hardaway can get back to the point, Layden may have to consider the move. Layden is under the gun to dump Spree and replace him with some young talent. Would the Suns agree to a Penny, Jake Tsakalidis, Bo Outlaw and Alton Ford for Spree and Kurt Thomas trade?

Several league sources also told Insider recently that the Warriors may get involved in ongoing dialogue between the Blazers and Knicks concerning Spree. At issue? The Blazers are attempting to pawn point guard Damon Stoudamire off on the Knicks. The Knicks have been trying to get some combination of Derek Anderson and Dale Davis. They are not very high (no pun intended) on Stoudamire, but understand they aren't going to get an angel in return for Spree. Can a compromise be worked out? The Knicks own a $4.5 million disabled player exception that may allow the teams to work out a multi-player deal that fits the needs of both teams. A three-way deal with Golden State that would send Spree, Fortson and Mills to the Blazers. The Knicks would get Stoudamire, Davis and Antonio Daniels. The Warriors would get Ward and Knight.
