I am a little confused about Layden holding on to Doleac for White. Then I checked the salaries in realgm.com and they don't match. The Portland rumor would work though. Derek Anderson for Doleac and Spoon works. We can then have Lampe in for backup center.
I don't know. I like the way Dolaec is playing right now.
While realgm.com is a fun tool to use, it's a web app and not an artificial intelligence, meaning the realgm tool doesn't know that Portland would never take Spoon's contract, nor would anyone else. Doleac is a solid guy for the money, and shows that he works on his game. We need more Knicks like him, inexpensive and willing to work hard to compensate for lack of grace/athleticism.
Did you read the article today in the Post about Othella getting Spoon's slot? Apparently, Spoon has been a very bad boy over the summer. He's even fatter, he's got that strained hamstring (with extra ham, no less), and his play has gotten worse. I even heard a rumor that his hotdog neck had become a footlong!
Yikes! That means if Othella does get traded for a backup SG, then it is even more imperative that McD be able to play. Not encouraging.
