well IMHO, there is a legit chance that the Knicks could offer Marbury for Tmac. It would be hard to go around the league and find a better player than Marbury who would be dealt which would make sense. Orlando would likely make us take Howards contract and possibly take back Sweetney, but I think in our position even with the bad back at 24 years old you have to do what you can to go for a deal like this. I dont know at the end of the day if the knicks are a better club, but but Mcgrady is a guy who has top 5 talent and with our pay structure and his age I think that becomes a priority situation. If we give them a package that included
Marbury
Sweetney + end contract
for Mcgrady
Howard
I think you have to do that. There would have to be some other moves done but that would leave the knicks at
6-10 Nazr
6-9 Howard
6-10 Thomas
6-9 Mcgrady
fill in the blank Frank Williams?
7-2 Mutumbo
6-9 Thomas
6-9 Johnson
Houston 6-6
young vet PG
Baker 6-11
If you are looking to trade Steph fot T-MAC I would have to pick up Rafer Alston as a good replacement that would favor Lenny's coaching directives. I think Skip should be available this summer.
I would favor T-MAC + Howard + 2005 second round pick for Steph + KT
