After the KP trade I was trying to think of trades that actually went down well with fans at the time, and how opinions change over time too.
This article had me chuckling: https://theknickswall.com/most-impactful-trades-knicks-history-pacific-central-northwest-divisions/ Because one of my favorite trades at the time was: Date: October 4, 2005 (I remember a poster freaking out that the picks were unprotected, and I argued that that was irrelevant )
I think the only trade I liked at the time and continued to love were: Latrell Sprewell's second chance will be with the Golden State Warriors for guard John Starks and forwards Chris Mills and Terry Cummings. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/knicks-get-spree-lose-starks/ I hated the Spree for Van Horn trade at the time and even afterwards (when he was growing on people), hated the Melo trade, hated the Camby for Antonio McDyess trade, hated Ariza for Steve Francis Weirdly I liked most of IT's trades at the time- landing Crawford, landing Marbury, landing Zach Randolph- I thought they were all awesome, ha ha! There really aren't that many trades I liked at the time, and even fewer that turned out to be good after a few seasons later. |

I can't remember a Knicks trade I liked. Ever.

Liked the Oakley for Cartwright trade, worked out well for both teams. Admitedly better for Chicago.
