I concur. In fact I'd say lets leave Lee and Thomas be. Lance does provide the leadership our young core needs and Lee too. As for who goes when lee is Active I don't know. Coming up to a quarter of the season gone by and its tough to observe that we don't have a clear cut core for a set rotation. Our yoots are inconsistent as expected. Timmy and Enes are but not always in a good way.

Trading guys require in most cases we take back salary. There lies a problem.
I agree, with a likely top 5 pick, KP and room to sign talent this franchises starting lineup will look very different next year. Let the yoots play thru their problems. Don't tank for losing sake, but let the kids play thru.
They can learn how to win in time. KP will be back in February one can guess.

Taking back salary is fine as long as the player is worth the contract. Beal is worth his contract, imo. Alot of the Knicks on the roster now aren't going to be later. I don't get the impression that Lee is going to be here next season and Haraway isn't this trancendent locker room prescence. DOes a team with our record really get to crow about chemistry? Maybe make a trade like this later in the season to preserve our draft positioning.
