I like the Dampier and Richardson trade. GoldenState has no clue on what they want to do. Maybe with a new GM they want to start fresh. Getting the vets would bring back that to win at least for a season. That would be a better foundation to set the example for guys like Mickael Pietrus.

Richardson and Marbury? Wow...with Houston on the bench? and PEnny, and Timmy? That's a great rotation.

Never say never playahs. Isia done proved that he has some skills as a GM.

At this point, Mo Taylor and a first round pick is ideal. The Knicks will need as many draft picks as possible. As for Dallas, we can pry away one of the Toines away from them.

and thats ok. I would be more than happy to add one more young guy to the fold and move on from there. I think Isiah is stil high on Frank, and we know he loves Sweetney. I'm not concerned about Frank playing the same position as Marbury because both can do things and guard bigger players. On a team often desperate for defense I love Frank coming off the bench. If its Harrison great. If we could trade KT for a late #1 to Utah and grabe a guy like JR Smith great, maybe a good athletic wing player like Sato would be nice also.

Getting a guy like Dampier or even Blount to sign would give us a lot of flexiblity trade wise.

Why do they HAVE to get rid of Kurt Thomas? He's their best post defender, best with Marbury on the pick and roll, and an above-average PF in the East. He's as good or better than Mark Blount, yet everybody is ready to throw him a lot of money.

KT vs. Blount
PPG: 11.1 vs 10.3
RPG: 8.3 vs 7.2
APG: 1.9 vs .9
BPG: 1 vs 1.3
FG%: 47% vs 56%
FT%: 84% vs 72%
MPG: 32 vs 29

And Blount is 3 inches taller. So all this talk about signing Mark Blount to the full MLE when you have a player who is arguably as good as him, arguably better than him, is absurd. Why is everybody in a rush to get rid of KT? Look at his #'s in game 4 vs the Nets. Only him, Penny, and Marbury came to play. He had a broken pinky he played with for much of the season after the AllStar break, and he's playing the best basketball of his career.

I'd trade him near the All Star break if Sweetney was showing he was ready to step in and start, but to just tarde him for anything is absurd.

Can we please stop posting these trades for McGrady? They are laughable, I can't believe these are posted? Are the other team's considerations taken into account? Let's be a tad realistic here, ORL isn't giving away one of the best players in the game for a broken down Houston and garbage like NAZR not Naser Mohammed.

Everyday it's something else, today it's trading Kurt and FW for Dampier and Richardson? So GS gives up their starting C and starting SG and potential All Star to get a backup PG and backup PF? OH man what a deal for them, they should throw in their lottery pick too!

As far as I am concerned, the Knicks or Isia has to get rid of all the players that Layden brought in to the Knicks minus Williams and Sweetney. We need players with talents and most of all a freaking heart. The squad that we had on the court this season truly didn't show any of that, specially Kurt and Anderson. We need players with Oatley's mentality or better yet a Denis Rodman type of player. That is why I have mentioned JYD and Dampier as future Knicks

Kurt has to go mainly because of the fact that his athleticism doesn't complement Marburry's skills. The hell with the pick & roll game between Marb and Kurt, that normally slows the game down and hurt our athletes. Besides, teams have learned how to defend it.

A Rocket trade would be the best out there for us, but I would rather have Cato than Mo Taylor. He is a true center. Taylor is a better player but it would stunt Sweetney's development. Cato and a pick would be good for me.

mo taylor? come on! at least kurt plays some type of defense. just b/c mo ate us up in houston doesn't mean he's good.
