Goldan st. trades: Jason Richardson,Evan Eschmeyer, Speedy Claxton

New york trades: Dikembe Mutombo, Othella Harrington, Frank Williams, Cezar Trybanski.

At first i would say after looking at this trade that it would have no chance but first u have to realize that goldan st. does not want much 4 richardson. All they want is to claer up room pietrus to play & they want cap room 4 next year. Eschmeyer is their only bad contract & the knicks would be giving them an ending contract 4 him. williams would provide the warriors with a talented big young point guard for their future & mutombo & Harrington provide them with decent front court guys for them to get buy for a year after losing dampier & Foyle & they would be off the books after a year. As for the knicks richardson would be a greatguy to put with marbury & he makes an healthy houston a bonus instead of a nessesaty & while claxton is not in my mind the player williams can be but he is still a very good back up. Mabe if this exact trade doesn't work the knicks could put in Kurt Thomas in place for someone or some other combo could be worked out. Basically just sayin that J-Rich is available and we should try to get him.

i'm not sure if these r the exact players that would be traded or if this trade could even go down but im just throwen it out there and wonderen what everyone thinks.

Maybe they don't expect to get much from him, but they're not going to gift-wrap him for us

New york trades: Dikembe Mutombo, Othella Harrington, Frank Williams, Cezar Trybanski.

out of that package, the only player i would even be remotely interested in as a GM of another team is Frank Williams (considering Deke has already said he'd retire if he was dealt to any team that didn't play in the Philly vicinity)...you might be able to get just Speedy Claxton for that package, but forget about Jason Richardson.

trades that make little sense at first sight like this happen all the time.

No, they happen a couple of times a decade. They're extreme exceptions to the rule.

BTW, the Rasheed deal does not fit your description. Detroit gave up 2 first round draft picks.

if they want to deal J. Rich don't you think they'd look for a better trading partner than the Knicks for what they had to offer in that package?

i'm not saying the Knicks have no desirable trade pieces...only that no one fits the Warriors needs that would motivate them to give up a young, talented player like J. Rich, unless of course you want to give up a Mike Sweetney & Frank Williams, which i'm pretty sure none of you are willing to do.

we are just trying to think about trades in terms of what the other team might want, that's all.
