Walsh, Knicks 'Active' In Trade Talks

Jan 03, 2011 2:45 PM EST

The Knicks are still active in trade talks as they look to upgrade their depth at point guard and center.

New York's schedule will get very tough in the coming week. They'll host San Antonio before a four-game road trip out on the West Coast.

"I'm active," Knicks president Donnie Walsh told ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan. "I'm talking to people to kind of find out what's out there. It's not like we're shopping or anything; we just want to see what's available. In my mind the team is getting more defined, so it's not like you're out there not quite sure of what you want. It's a little more defined as to what we need.

"[It's] not just bigs. We're looking at a couple positions to see if we can make ourselves better. But also, whoever we're looking at has to be good enough to play now. This isn't a future thing."

Based on his talking points recently it sounds like he's looking for a vet that fits the system, will get minutes, and has an expiring deal.

Its difficult to find that player with a contract that matches what we have to trade.

I'll give one example; Vlad has a contract that expires and is the type of player who would fit, however his contract numbers don't match what we can give up.

Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)
