Knicks will either sign who they can and then use Curry's expiring in trade. Or they will sign who they can and let Curry expire and use that space in 2011. Or they will sign who they can and buy Curry out for 2M less to make those signings happen.
Your proposed trade is horrendous for the Knicks.
I have also read plenty of Raptor forums to see that the fans do not like Calderon, have blamed him for playing selfish, and hate his contract.
The only thing the Knicks would want from Toronto are Bosh (who would probably end up in Chicago first) or Bargnani (who isn't going anywhere).
99% of raptors posters are dumb idiots like 99% of knicks posters.
what you get from calderon: a pg that can run an offense and can shoot a great percentage. d'antoni needs a pg like that and there are not that many available. tell me a pg that's available that is better for d'antoni.
I'm sure there are enough that aren't locked into a ridiculous contract that you're so eager to dump on us and take our coveted rookie filled with promise in return. If he's so damn good why do YOU want him gone for Eddy's expiring and Douglas? Yeah, because you don't like him EITHER.
Now, please, keep your Raptors trash on the Raptors where it belongs.

Jose Calderon $8,219,009 $9,000,000 $9,780,993 $10,561,985
Yeah, he's all yours.
