i really like watching ariza on the court, and i was almost happy when crawford was going to be out since now ariza will finally get some real minutes and prove himself. maybe he'll be able to earn his way into the rotation or make him valuable enough to trade in order to upgrade the frontcourt.

I will be so relieved when we resign him to a longer contract.
He is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

GEEEEEEZZZZZUUUUSSSSS KRISTY KREME!!!!!! I just don't understand the mindset that says we should even remotely consider trading Ariza or Sweetney to upgrade the front court. Sweetney and Ariza are front court players. You don't trade your most obviously promising young front court players for question marks. CRAP!. Kurt, yes...Sweetney, no. Tim, yes...Ariza, no. It's like swapping wheels for tires. You don't swap the brand new Pirelli's. You need both. The Knicks aren't winning a championship with Kurt or Tim in the starting lineup.....and once and for all, Isiah ain't trading Marbury, Crawford, Ariza or Sweetney....Period. SHEEESH!!


P.S. AND...Bird ain't gonna make a deal with Isiah....PERIOD...(and definitely not for Artest)

If I could make an NBA player out of the Knicks team.

Vision - Marbury
Heart - JYD
Hands - Sweetney
Build - JYD
Brain - Ariza
Handle - Marbury
Jumper - Houston
Feet - Marbury
With Crawfords athletism & Marbury's creativity.

i would use Crawford's handle instead of Marbury's...& mix in a generous helping of some of JYD's energy & hustle, along w/Marbury's strength & quickness, Ariza's leaping ability, Nazr's rebounding, Crawford's crossover & KT's crazy eyes.

And make the size Bruno... With Marbury's Agility 2.

Vision: Marbury
Heart: JYD
Hands: Mike Sweetney
Size: Bruno Sundov
Agility: Marbury
Free Throw: Allan Houston
Dunk: Trevor Ariza
Handle: Jamal Crawford
Toughness: Kurt Thomas
Brain: Ariza
Jumper: Allan Houston
Feet: Marbury
Build: JYD

While I understand your logic you do make a trade for a proven player like Elton Brand or a player with a greater upside like Eddy Curry. Since trades with both of those players are probably gonna be lopsided against us, it just isn't gonna make sense.

I really like Samuel Dalembert too. I would give up someone for him, probably Ariza and JYD. It makes sense to me, Dalembert is 6 11 and he would have an impact right now with something we have none of -shot blocking. It would make a difference for us. I would say trade for what we need. If TT can consistantly give us 14 points, we will be good with him. He may blossom this year we'll see.

From every trade I have tried to figure out, we probably should not make a move until next year. We wont be able to get Kwame for what is fair and washington doesn't have any big contracts for us to take.

Eddy Curry, last time they wanted Sweets and Nazzy and that is just too much.

They probably would want Zekes first born child for Elton Brand. And if TT continues to play well we may be able to pry Samuel Dalembert and bad contracts for TT. and someone.
