How about a Camby trade like this:

New York trades:
C Kurt Thomas (11.7 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 2.0 apg in 33.5 minutes)
C Michael Doleac (4.1 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 0.6 apg in 13.2 minutes)
New York receives:
C Marcus Camby (7.6 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 1.4 apg in 27.1 minutes)
Change in team outlook: -8.2 ppg, -3.5 rpg, and -1.2 apg.

Denver trades:
C Marcus Camby (7.6 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 1.4 apg in 27.1 minutes)
Denver receives:
C Kurt Thomas (11.7 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 2.0 apg in 39 games)
C Michael Doleac (4.1 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 0.6 apg in 32 games)
Change in team outlook: +8.2 ppg, +3.5 rpg, and +1.2 apg.

TRADE ACCEPTED

Due to New York being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. New York had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

There are strictly centers in this trade, and the numbers are pretty balanced.

man that would be the worst trade in Knicks history.. I don't think I'd trade Frank for him straight up lol I think we need to go after a guy like camby but only lose othella, Sweetney, Doleac

As far as the comment on the up and coming pg, i would trade frank. I think hes gonna be a great player, but now that we have marbury, i think hes one of only good trading pieces we have left. people used to say that having 3 pg w/ ward eisley and frank were too many, but now when we get a great pg in marbury who should b playing about 40 minutes a game, you think that we should hold onto all of our pgs? Id b all for trading norris and keepin frank, but i dont think many people want him

I feel like some of you guys are throwing Kurt Thomas's name around WAY too much. Seriously, the guy basically averages a double double and is one of our few solid defensive players. I wouldnt trade him for Camby, Wilcox, or any of these bums. Maybe Rasheed, but honestly I feel like KT is the perfect pick and roll guy for Marbury. Look at the numbers hes been putting up since Marbury came here. I cant think of a better 4th option in the league.

And another thing...Im sure most of you have been following this squad for years, so you know how great it was when we use to put Mason, Starks, Oakley, and Xavier McDaniel on the floor. Toughest groups of guys since Isiah's Piston squad. I see alot of that in Kurt Thomas and I almost feel like hes playing in the wrong Knick era. Maybe Im nostalgic, but I dont ever wanna lose this guy.

i'd do it.. camby would start for us right away whereas we can hardly find minutes for frank. plus i think camby would be better than thomas, plus hes younger.

no way would denver take othella, doleac, or sweetney for camby...that would be a joke to offer that.

They certainly wouldn't take FW for him. If they would I'd do it in a second.

i agree..fwill+thomas for camby would be good. but, its not gunna happen.

I wouldn't trade thomas for Camby. I really like Cambys' game but he's too injury prone. Plus I think Thomas and Camby are complementary type players as they have such different strengths and weaknesses. I was replying to the FW for Camby idea - which I would do.

at 32, i just dont think thomas has that much left..its time to get something for him while he's still putting up big numbers
