Fix it in one fell swoop by something like:

Houston
Ward
Thomas

for

Staudamire
Wells
Davis

I can't guarantee that the salaries match up, but both teams would be better.

Knicks would start:

Staudamire
Wells
KVH
Sweets
Davis

Portland starts:
McInnis
Houston
Woods/Patterson
Wallace
Randolph/Thomas

Both teams would be candidates for #6-8 seeds in the playoffs, but more importantly (since neither has cap room or Championship hopes)...both teams would be more palatable. Blazers= Far less criminally inclined. Knicks= Some real live athletic ability!!!
