"It's no secret the Knicks are desperately trying to land a big man. GM Scott Layden has been burning the phone lines for months, and even more since the team is struggling and the Garden fans are getting restless. Vin Baker is still a possibility, but it's doubtful the Knicks would be willing to give up Latrell Sprewell for him at the moment. The Knicks are also interested in Raef LaFrentz, who is on the trading block, or Pacers power forward Dale Davis. There has even been talk recently about New York acquiring Jazz forward Karl Malone, who might be looking for a way out of Utah's losing situation. No matter what, it's probably going to cost the Knicks the services of Sprewell since Marcus Camby's trade value has plummeted because of injuries and Allan Houston is a base-year-compensation player, which makes him virtually untradeable to any team over the salary cap."

All i have to say is you can't get rid of Sprewell, Houston, or Camby for any of these players. Take what you can get with Thomas or Harrington, one of the point guards, and extras, but nothing more. If we can't get anything, as long as Camby stays healthy we'll be fine.

Agreed, for the moment anyways.

Trade either Thomas, Chollie, Othella, Spoon, Jax, Eisley, Knight or Anderson (or a copmbination of these players) to get a

SF?

PG?

C?

Do not trade Houston, Spree or Camby unless we get a desperate GM come trading deadline who's eager to make a run for the playoffs/finals and is willing to give up a good piece.

Patience...

I agree Spree, Allan, and Camby stays use everybody else to get what we want. Upgrade the pg, sf, and c positions. Is Allan Henderson a small or power forward? Whatever position it is i would take him and D Johnson and with Shareef there i think Atlanta might take a trade for those guys.

HENDERSON IS OUT FOR THE YEAR INJURED. HE WAS INJURED THE PAST 2 SEASONS ALSO.

We should offer someone like Eisley or Harrington plus extras to get Marc Jackson. We could also offer Thomas and a draft pick for LaFrentz and if not, we could ante up the price by offering Thomas, Eisley, and a draft pick for LaFrentz and either Abdul-Wahad or Voshon Lenard, which ever they prefer. Other options would be hoping Eddy Curry develops very fast and trading Eisley and maybe a future draft pick for Brad Miller or there's always the possibility of Harrington to Cleveland for Micheal Doleac.

doleac is hurt so that trade wont be happening anytime soon... thank god

Problem with trading for Cedric Henderson is that the deal is too good. Cedric his contract runs out after this year. I'd do it in a heartbeat but I think the GS GM would want more. Hopefully not.

So would i, but even if they would want more, i would be willing to part with a future draft choice. It would still be worth it.
