Hehehe, sorry!

Well, I too agree that it is a good trade for both teams basketball wise. As many have mentioned here, Toronto will probably not recieve the star value of Carter, and a trade for good players is a good one for them. They dont have a star to attract people, but with a new and capable starting SF, a new PF/C in Thomas (depending on how they want to use Bosh), a young and cheap PG capable of starting and doing it effectively, and a backup C who also is an expiring contract, they could be a good team, and wins also attract fans, just ask Detroit. Its a good trade for them if they are really pushed by Vince to trade him to NY. They also have young talent that will surely help them. By making a 2 for 4 trade, they lose their star but they fill other needs. Who knows if they could do better with other teams, probably yes, but it isn't a bad offer from the Knicks.

As for New York, they get a star who wants to play here and another bad contract. I would only do this trade from the Knicks standpoint if the Dampier trade is already done because in this trade we lose most of the pieces in the Crawford trade. A concern for the Knicks should be the fact that if Dampier's trade and this one happen, they would have a lot more bad contracts, making the team they have the one they'll probably have for some seasons. If this trade would really be a possibility, then I would think on all the pros and cons of the Crawford trade and the Vince trade. In the Crawford trade we don't get a star like Vince, but we could be able to dump some of our bad contracts too, something very positive for this team. The Vince trade would be more about having a chance to land a star than having a real need.

Who knows how much of a chance we really have with Vince, but this is a good trade for both teams if they really want to make a deal between only them. We'll see if the Vince rumor is true, or just another Ilgauskas rumor to make us dream and nothing else.

make the trade.....Vince is the man.

Trevor Ariza is good enough to make up for not having Crawford.

Knicks are starphuchers, so sweets is gone. With Bosh, they might not want Sweets.

They need to keep him. Vince is a wuss, he wants out of toronto and making up real BS reasons to leave. Dr. J for GM? Why? Dude does not work!

Vince can make big money in NY. Vince si Gazy in his own way.

Do I want him? Sure why not. Pay them all!

getting carter is a risk b/c of his health. but i think the main reason he has been unhealthy is that he is asked to do too much. he is usually the main offensive weapon on the team if not the only one. so he force drives, shots and definately minutes that are taxing to his body. true, red flags should go up b/c he is young and having knee problems ala mcdyess. but he proved last year that he is much more than a dunker. he can flat out score. to have him, starbury and houston on the floor simultaneously would be unbelievable. carter will not have to force shots and marbury will create easier shots for him. but if he tries that punk crap of sitting out games with a bruised hand, ny will eat him alive. i hope he is considering that if he wants to come. i am also suprise that he wanted to play in new york with wilkens still the coach after he badmouth him all last year.

He's young, cheap, healthy, and getting better. He is the only player on the roster who can become a dominant rebounder, and possibly a post presence. As Riley used to say: "No rebounds, no rings."

I wouldn't be so sure-

Antoine Walker to Toronto

Vince to NYC

and Stuff (KT, FW & filler) back to Dallas

that makes sense a few ways around-

Toronto gets their Star in Walker

Dallas gets their D Man in KT & young pg in FW in case their PG situation doesn't recover off Nash going elsewhere

Now- admittedly, there might need to be some other stuff involved and we might need to take back bad contracts

And- don't imagine that Toronto would take Marbury- his contract is massive and they just signed Rafer to that MLE maxed out- don't think they need a PG.
