I agree, kwame's stock perhaps has never been lower. You're overpaying.

dats a whole lotta dim sum.

i'd rather do nothing and just use the draft pick then give up sweets and ariza and another pick for brown.

Agreed

that is a bit much, the key to getting kwame here is to have him team up with ariza, sweetney, crawford, and steph, that sounds like a nice lineup..

If you want to get a sense of Knick players' value, ask Briggs and then multiply that value by 100

love dim sum.

well, i look at it this way. it cost miami butler odom and a 1st round pick for Shaq. this is the same thing but on a much smaller level. We get a 7-0 270 pound 22 year old C for two young back ups an a pick that wont matter 4 years from now. We keep our starters which makes the management happy and are able to put KT back as a 25 minute back up. those guys are good players, but they arent 7-0 270. Im pretty sure hat if Kwame didnt get hurt, he would be untradeable right now. You buy something at its low value, and understand that, without being a Knick fan, we arent giving them an overberaing offer here. we can replace Sweetney or Ariza, but finding a guy who is 7-0 270 with his skill level and atlhetiscm is near impossible. I mean there are 4-5 guys I can think of who can replace sweetney or Ariza in next yeras draft. I dont think isiah will trade Nazr because this is a business and Nazr represents some reliability--sweetney and ariza are expendable.

I agree nice post briggs

... and Sweetney and Ariza are two of the very few bright spots this organization has... absurd BRIGGS.

Give us some ideas to get rid of the trash we have and I'm all ears. Not the two good young players we have for a potential bust.

I want Kwame to prove he's even WORTH that much! You trade him, he comes here, guess what the most likely scenario is? He's playing 20-25 minutes BACKING UP KT because once again KT's consistency and defense and his oversized ego will make him the starter. If you trade for someone, you trade for someone who is outright better than KT so that there is no issue about minutes and who's starting.
Every year people say this is the year for Kwame, well guess what so far all I've seen are flashes. He's as inconsistent as they come and his behavior recently this year with the wizards has not been positive.
By the way, the guy is a 6'11'' 243 pounder who is coming off a broken foot. His stats last year of 11 ppg and 7.4 rpg in 30 minutes could probably have been done by sweetney in 30 minutes too. Kwame is foul prone and should only be picked up if it is a bargain deal. a first round pick + the future prospects of our team is not a bargain.
