I'm not big on trading Spree but I'd do this trade. Phoenix wantes harrington and they only play voskuhl about 12 minutes a game. For the Knics they get a young backup center for camby. I don't know if Phoenix would do the spree-hardaway trade but I think Spree would be good under Skiles and with the running Suns with Marbury and Marion. Hardaway would give us a player who isnt undersized at the 3. If they won't do the spree-hardaway swap I'd like to get tsakalidas or voskhul to back up camby because they are big players and pretty young..

I don't know about this trade, I mean I would hate to see Spree go, and I'm not too keen on Penny - he hasn't had a full healthy season in years. We'd still be undersized at the 3, Penny is naturally a shooting guard, like Latrell is. Also, Othella has played real well recently and I don't want to see him go now. And I can't say I know a lot about this Jake guy...

Spree is better then Penny and Othella Harrington is better then Jake Voskuhl so i really don't see how this benefits us. Besides Spree is the heart and sole of this team and i think of we have any chance to win a championship in the next few years, he will need to be part of this team. I think we need to look into a deal with Memphis. Maybe Houston or Sprewell and Thomas for Reeves and either Pau Gasol, Shane Battie, or Stromile Swift, which ever they want to trade, but i would prefer to trade Houston instead of Spree. They have three young, future star small forwards and they can't keep them all. They are also in desprite need of a pure shooter and Houston provides both that and the possibility of being an all-star, especially out west. We could also make a move for Lamar Odom, but i don't know how we would be able to do that.

Sprewell shouldn't go anywhere unless it's for a young, versatile player who has a lot of growing to do, but can still produce all-star type numbers. Someone like Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, Stro Swift, Rasheed Wallace, Richard Hamilton, and Wally Szczerbiak all come to mind. Spree should not be traded especially for a player plagued by injury. If anyone goes it should be Houston, but i still believe Sprewell, Houston, and Camby are capable of being one of the leagues top tandoms.

I think we should definitely give our big three a chance and not break them up. Houston is improving (remember he usually starts out slow each season) and the Cambyman is about to make his much-aticipated return. I still think that, instead of breaking the trio up, we should build around them with high quality role players.

However, if we were offered trade for Houston/Spree when we would receive a guy like Rasheed, then I would probably accept it - but that is pretty unlikely. So, I would not do a trade like the one suggested, but concentrate on surrounding the main guys with more effective teammates. I'm still not keen on Mark Jackson and, if possible, I would like to trade him for a big man like Danny Fortson.

Now that Marcus is returning, I have high hopes for this team. Let's just see how it goes against the Hawks tonight...

Marcus will be rusty. The worst thing would be for him to get destroyed by Nazr Mohammed.

im not sure i would do that trade both spree and harrington are better than penny and jake.

The Glen Rice rule - never trade for a player you know has a propensity for injury.

I thought it was the LJ rule.

So all those hindsight GM's out there, in retrospect, would you have done the Anthony Mason-LJ trade if you knew what our cap space situation was light and the production of the players?

Camby vs. Atlanta: 35 minutes, 18 pts, 10 boards, 2 stls, 9-13 shooting.

Other than the early airball he did great.
