Al Harrington
The Knicks completed a wild day of trading on Friday when they sent Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins to the Clippers for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley. The deal comes less than two hours after Donnie Walsh traded Jamal Crawford to the Warriors for Al Harrington.
Both deals were made to clear salary cap space for the summer of 2010 for when LeBron James becomes a free agent. The contracts of Harrington, Thomas and Mobley all expire in two years which will put the Knicks in position to make a run at James, the most coveted free agent since Shaquille O'Neal left the Orlando Magic to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
TIM THOMAS??? ewwwwwww!!!
sorry to see Jamal go but at least now we will probably stink for the rest of this season & end up w/a high lottery pick w/which we can take a young stud like Derozan who would look awesome in a Knicks' uniform, & now we're gonna be well under the cap in 2010 to sign a big name FA.
Donnie, my faith in you has been restored... thanks for following through w/your plan & showing all the naysayers that 2010 is worth going after.
