Knicks sign Rasho Nesterovic to a 4.6 mil per year / 4 year contract

Knicks sign and trade Kurt Thomas + rights to Milos Vujanic + future 1st rounder for Lamar Odom + Chris Wilcox.

Knicks trade Othella Harrington + Frank Williams + Lavar Postell for Dalibor Bagaric + Jamal Crawford

This isn't realistic. Why does Chicago trade Crawford for nothing? And it is nothing... so lets not debate that.

I think Kurt struggles in the west.. he's not as valuable out there which lowers his trade value... for Wilcox and Odom? Vujanic and the first aren't getting that done. Odom and Wilcox are very young players with very high ceilings.

Nesterovic signing that deal is very unlikely... he'll get more anywhere with cap-room in the Center deficient east. His game has improved and his stock is up.

rain first of all, when it comes to dealing with the clipps nothing is impossible, they like young draft prospects and picks, they are cheap, that is up the clippers alley, although it may take a little more to get odom but right now his stock is down so who knows..

As far as KT, explain why he would not be good in the west? next to a good center he is a top PF. Can you debate that, I mean outside of KG, Duncan and Wallace, and webber, Kt is a notch below...

I agree with Rain regarding Kurt Thomas. tkf, if Kurt had to play v.s Malone,Garnett,Webber,Duncan, Wallace out west, his foul prone habits would be exposed. Pretty much, Thomas would have a hard time staying on the floor during a game. 2nd) That trade falcindor proposed to the Bulls would be a steal for the knicks. The Bulls would never unload Crawford for that deal. Krause would be nuts to allow such a trade. As for the clipper deal, they would want more than that. Odom has struggled this yr but he's still young and talented, standing 6'10 with great ball handling skills. As for Wilcox, he's gonna get better as times goes by. You're talking about two promising athletes. Rain is correct regarding Nesterovic going somewhere else for more money than the knicks would offer him.
