This works perfectly on paper numbers wise.

Why do we do it? Anything to get rid of Shandon and Kurt's time here is done. over.

Why do they do it? They get 2 blue collar players who fit well with their team, one can play 2,3 the other can play 4,5.


We bring Van Horn off the bench for the 30-40 games Allan will actually be able to play in next year and for the majority of the season in which Allan's TWO knees keep him out once again we start TT at the 2, Keith at the 3, Sweets at the 4 and Nazr at 5. Dermaar and Penny back up the 2,3

The fact is Allan's knees are a lot worse than anyone on these boards (except for maybe Briggs) seems to want to accept. Doctors are telling him to get more surgery in the off season and he's refusing. He's in bad shape. Do you really think if he had anything but a near career ending situation on his hands that they wouldn't have put him in for the last few minutes of game 4? Unless he's near death, Allan's gonna hit an open shot. Or at the least Stephon would've been double teamed instead of triple teamed.

I don't see the point of this. Kurt is a very good player and awesome on the pick and roll, and who guards PFs now? Van Horn?

I don't really want Keith back.

KT is awesome in the pick and roll? If he can get a clear shot he is reliable. But if he can't get free he gets in trouble.

Keith is a good pick and roll guy....better than KT. I wouldn't mind having Tim and KVH on the court at the same time. The defense would definately be stretched the distance......Marbury would have the lane open all day....Keith is always reliable for 7 rebounds per. It could work.

Not a likely idea though....but half of the stuff we think of aren't. I wouldn't mind this trade. Loose Shandon and KT and get a player that played well for us before? It's a no brainer.

Van Horn has become a shell of his former self since being traded to the Bucks.
Alot of people talk about him being injured..
The guy has been feeling the results of the same FINGER SPRAIN since March for Christ sake.
He has contributed nothing to the Bucks in these playoffs.
I would really not want him back...
Only way I want him is in a swap for Shandon Anderson...

Kurt awesome? you must be joking. this guy is lucky he plays for the knicks cause he would not be a starter any where else. Van Horn may be soft,but he is more athletic than Kurt any day.and till this day I wish we had traded Kurt for Tim instead of Keith.

Some fans are so dumb, I really wonder about them. We are one of the weakest team in the league defensively. Why would we trade for KVH? How will that resolve our problems defensively?

You can't be serious with this post. It sounds like you were playing NBA Live and traded these players for KVH and it worked in the game because:

1) it a video gaem
2)KVH is a small forward and small forwards can guards PFs and Centers in the game
3)You don't have to worry about players disappearing come playoff time.

I'll give u credit though where it is due; if we had another big man who can run and post and shoot (granted, Kurt tha "Flirt" is not a big man who can do this) then I would like this trade, but until DeMarr proves he's gonna suck then I say the Knicks concerns should be a dominant PF or Center who's very very acrobatic.

By tha way. I call him Kurt tha "Flirt" because he's a Flirt on offense. He makes you think he's gonna drive off a pump fake but winds up still shooting a jump shot.

Also, don't put your money too much on Rasheed, I think next year he might be very injury prone. He was limping last night. But damn, he hit this sweet fade away jumper 18ft away on the baseline.

how about kurt and anderson to boston for raef lafrentz and chris mihm?

boston gets rid of raef who isnt playing much for them anyway. mihm isnt playing much either.

we get rid of anderson, who they could use to backup anderson. and ofcousre i'm assumng they would want kurt.

it would leave us with an alright line up

c-raef or mihm mihm put up the same numbers in less minute as nazr. as did raef.
pf-sweetney, nazr
sf-thomas, johnson
sg-houston, penny
pg-steph, williams

i'm kind of drunk so i think this makes scense, let me know what you think, if it works for us - boston.

Boston will never try to help the Knicks;boston is the reason detroit was able to get Rasheed.
