weird. Why send them down to practice with D-League team for a couple of days? I think your thread title has something to it.

Something does seem up, If they all had been playing poorly I would get this move, but its been the opposite.

We would be freeing up three roster spots... I don't blame anyone for thinking this is a blockbuster. It could also be management having no clue what it's doing. I'm betting on inept management

It had better be a good one if that's what they're planning.

I think the Knicks are just trying to mess with our heads at this point! From last nights weird episodes of Dolan taking the GM crew to the locker room to see Iman, to Beno's mysterious disappearance mid-game, to this!

There's probably nothing behind this- assigning these three to D-League wouldn't clear up any roster spots (still count as Knicks), so it must just be for practice reasons. I guess with K-Mart and Shump out, and maybe Stat not ready for full contact, they didn't have enough bodies to have any scrimmages as planned today, so they cancelled them and sent the rookies to practice with the D League team.

If it is a big trade I hope its for a quality starting PG, should be the top of list. Don't necessarily want to see Felton traded, just need a better and more consistent floor general that plays better D. The way Rondo was limping around and combine that with Boston collecting draft picks and their youth movement, makes me wonder if the Knicks are trying to get Rondo at what might be his lowest trade value, hurt and rusty.

If this is just to fluff Allan Houston's resume I will be PO'd. They gave JR's brother a contract, nothing would surprise me.

How would this help facilitate a trade--they still take up spots??

Yup...Knicks are getting ready to recall Chris Smith, but his head was to big for just one roster spot Seth is reporting....there is no news here.
