Well since there has been a ton of trade rumors surrounding him I figured I would throw my hat in the ring and say:

SPREE ISNT GOING ANYWHERE.

In fact, nobody on this team is going to be traded. The best odds would be sending KT off somewhere, but even that isnt in the stars. Layden would have to be stupid to trade any of these players for the pile of mediocrity that the rest of the league is putting up - Gary Payton aside. We have no chance of getting a good player so there is no point, dumping salary does us no good as well because we are too far over the cap. The best thing this team can do is go to the lottery - but even the Knicks seem to be fighting that one. Either way something has to give, I dont see this team as the #8 seed, so my bet would be lottery bound. Maybe not with a solid chance of getting Lebron, but at least a bit of hope for the future.

The person that needs to be traded is Houston, not Spree. But unfortunatly Spree may get traded because he is not a so called "company guy" like Houston.

Houston's ridulous contract makes him very difficult to trade but a team like Utah (Layden's buddy) needs a shooting guard like Houston who may help Stockon & Malone make their final playoff run. I would love to get a guy like Kirelenko, but Utah would be crazy to trade him. I would even be willing to take back a stiff like Ostertag if it would sell the trade.

Kurt Thomas needs to moved as well, maybe to the Rockets who is also making a playoff push. Possibly try to pry young Eddie Griffith.

Anyway Spree needs to stay and move back to SG. As a matter of fact he should be captain of the knicks because of his passion for the game.

I still dont see Layden making any moves. His hands are tied, and he wont make a trade just to make one, he wants to improve the team and I dont see anything out there right now that will.

His hands have been "tied" for the last 2 years and he keeps using that excuse. His multi-million dollar salary for doing basically nothing. Its time for results. Its time to work your magic Layden or get out NY. He is forced to make a trade for the better or just to make a trade. Tell me of a significant move he has made, none since he has been here! Layden if you need help, holla at me.
