How about JJSkinny, JJFat, Mardy, Morris and Nate for Gadzurich and Bobby Simmons.

Gadz give you great rebounding and shot blocking off the bench. Simmons is coming off an injury so thats a wildcard, but he's a good player when healthy. This move would really pair down our roster and give us two guys that would have real roles, and not just cap fodder.

Morris/Nate/Mardy is the cost of dumping Isiah's MLE mistakes. Also lets us keep Nichols

that's crazy man. Bobby Simmons =one year wonder who had a serious injury with a fat contract and an aloof C who plays well against the knicks for half of our guards? Q rich is essentially a better version of Bobby Simmons and we have him under contract.
Our SF should be Balkman and I want to see our young guys get chances the way Balkman got his. They've played very GOOD team ball.
Other than this whacky dacky frontline chemistry thing the team looks good--no need to keep messing with it. We have zach so lets see if it works.

let's try to hold onto Mardy unless we have to trade him for some good talent... Gadz is a role player & Simmons doesn't impress me either... i'd much rather see Q Rich & our 3 young SF's getting burn over him.

funny how you kill simmons briggs. Wasn't you the one defending him a couple of years ago, when I was calling him a overpaid, one hit wonder, fat ass? correct me if I am wrong....

I don't recall saying anything glowing about Bobby Simmons--thats not to say hes a bad player--hes a pretty good player--but this trade is about as bad as they get--with apologies to fish:)

Terrible trade. You're trading 3 young players for crap? and questions. I love when these so called experts who can only critize isiahs moves put out their trade proposals and they are so BAD. Thank heaven that youre not the gm of the knicks making these crapazz trades. This would set us back another couple of years. If you are going to trade these young players (I don't want to trade nate at all) you need to get back a sure thing, not just dump to get back questions. This doesnt help the cap either.
