I know we're all cynical and that's certainly reasonable these Knick days , but is there any publicized as to when McDyess's doctors think he'll be ready. I mean any real info. The Knicks were pretty vague back in April.

If i were the knicks and Mcdyess comes back and plays up to his old 20 and 10,his value would go up. That way, don't keep him but try to see if you can do a sign -n- trade with other teams who might have other free-agent big men. Hey, Kevin Garnett along with Rasheed Wallace both become free agents after the season. MAybe, the knicks could pulled a deal for either one of them and deal away McDyess. That's if McDyess plays like his old self though.

Pre-knee surgery McDyess was not better than Rasheed or Garnett. No why would either of these teams do this deal for a player that's worse than the one they have plus he has a history of knee problems. Also for a sign and trade to work the player has to agree to the deal. This is unrealistic.

I guess you weren't paying any attention to my previous post and it isn't unrealistic.. If McDyess ends up with 20 and 10 like 2yrs ago, it would be possible for the knicks to do a sign and trade with another team while getting something back. I did mentioned in my previous statement "If MCDYESS PLAYS LIKE HIS OLD SELF" and somehow get the knicks back in the playoffs, his value would skyrocket. Let's also say he doesn't want to go back to the knicks, obviously the knicks are not just gonna let him walk. They'll try to satisfy his wish but at the same time construct some sought of sign-n-trade with other teams. Teams out there will be concern with McDyess's health but at the same time teams will be concern with Rasheed's violent temper thats tends to distract or diffuses the team spirit and reputation.
