But Terry is a better player than Calderon.

Because some GMs in the league have no sense of self preservation? They want their kids to be homeless and starve?

Practical trades appear, at least on the surface and time and place, as win/wins for both franchises. At least push/push.

Sadly a lot of basketball fans believe trades, instead of win/win, should be gang prison rape then golden shower party/complete submission and then begging to get pissed on some more while the team's owner fires you.

Calderon, on his own, I don't think he's movable. The Knicks need to wait on looking to move him, accept he's stuck with them, or package assets to move him if they are that desperate to get him off the roster.

Dolan create the illusion for fans that this gang prison rape trades are happening a lot... but its only Knicks were getting raped...

Not even Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan could motivate this crew.

Which crew? I was referring to the young dudes

Just meant that the teams overall talent level is low, old and young, and that no coach or leader could mold them into anything much more than what we are seeing and besides, why would we want that? We need as many ping pong balls as possible. The debate on Derek Fisher Coach is not one to be having now but next season. Right now the man is part of a finely tuned Tanking machine that is poised to not win another game for quite a while and simply for that he gets my salute.

Oklahoma City Thunder Get: Jose Calderon, Jason Smith, two future second-round picks

New York Knicks Get: Reggie Jackson, Kendrick Perkins

Calderon could go back to playing the limited role he had with the Mavericks, since Westbrook is nothing more than a better and younger Monta Ellis. Westbrook is a **** floor general, so I could see the Thunder benefitting tremendously if they move him to the 2-spot as often as possible. But as a team that has historically been cheap, I'm not sure that the Thunder would be inclined to assume the $17.5 million that Calderon still has due unless we add sweetners (e.g. Cole Aldrich and a Shane Larkin). But I do like the spirit of the trade if OKC can overlook cost.

The Waiters deal took them over the cap. They are so ridiculously cheap that I think they'd be really hesitant to add even more, unfortunately.

Which is why I think they might trade Reggie for a second rounder at the deadline (they'll be holding out for a first but I don't think they will get one). I'm not too interested in getting him (I'd rather focus on Dragic and Mathews or even Beverly and Mathews as our back court)

I will wager you a crisp $10 note that they only get a second rounder for him (maybe two at most)!

Remember Reggie wants to start or he won't re-sign with the team he's traded to. That greatly cuts the number of suitors.

Marcus Smart. They seem to be rebuilding through the draft and probably wont spend major money on a FA right now even though he is young.
