Maybe a deal is close and that the Knicks needed the roster spot. We have too many PF but Wright was a prject that could have worked out.
I know i'm going to get hated on but I think that this is what's in the works - plus VG can keep his roster rotation to 8.
I definitely don't like it... but it might be a necessary evil to get a good Center. I mean, we need someone who can actually play Center for us and Marc Jax might actually be our future at the Center Spot, with Camby sliding over to PF for the next 5 years as the NYK's front court. I think we all agree that Marc Jax is a better Center than Foyle. I mean, Foyle is not a legit starter, and Marc Jax is.
Or we could trade Eisley for Foyle straight up once his BYC expires - sometime around november i think.
