How bout' this trade. I think it's fair. More importantly we clear up some log jams and get a great starter in Brian Grant. The only thing we would need to do is to trade Brian Grant and Travis for a center.

Thoughts?

New York trades: Charlie Ward $5,110,000 to Portland (plus Trade Kicker $814,500)
New York trades: Kurt Thomas $4,413,375 to Miami
New York trades: Othella Harrington $2,475,000 to Portland
TOTAL: $11,998,375


Portland trades: Bonzi Wells $2,028,240 to New York
Portland trades: Dale Davis $7,010,000 to Miami
TOTAL: $9,038,240


Miami trades: Brian Grant $10,009,688 to New York
Miami trades: Kendall Gill $1,538,000 to Portland
TOTAL: $11,547,688




TRADE ACCEPTED

Due to New York, Portland, and Miami being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. New York, Portland, and Miami had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

I don't think Riley would give up one of his more tradeable players in Grant to get Dale Davis and KT. Also, now the Knicks would have Wells, Spree, and Houston to play 2 spots. I don't think it'd work.

Lavor should work on his handle, he would surely crack the rotation if he could play PG.
