1) Trade Malik Rose's expiring contract and the #6 pick to Sac for Ron Artest and the #12 pick.

2) Trade Zach Randolph and the #12 pick to Memphis for Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and #28 pick.

C = CURRY
PF = LEE
SF = ARTEST / CHANDLER
SG = MILLER / CRAW
PG = MARBURY / NATE

Draft Mario Chalmer at #28

8 man rotation with Marbs running the pick and roll with Curry, Lee rebounding and hustle, Artest defending the sf/sg spot ( he can shot ) and Miller, Craw and Nate the deep threats. Then 2009 season Marbs comes off the books, whild Q and Jerome James enter the final year of their contracts which are valuable in trade or keep and let expire. Then 2010 roster encludes:

Curry = final year of contract
Craw = final year of contract
JJ = final year of contract
everyone else is rookie contract or FA.

The Knicks need to make a draft pick at 6 or they need to trade up. Even if 2010 comes around you want the Knicks to have some pieces in place to entice Free Agents to come to the Knicks.
