Reading some of the posts in the last two days, I put this in RealGM and it was accepted.

We trade Kurt Thomas and Tim Thomas to Atlanta for Antoine Walker and Al Harrington (from what I've read, this is a distinct possibility.

We trade Penny straight up for Jalen Rose

Three team trade, well, maybe not three teams, but the knicks starting five would be:

Marbs/Cooch
Craw/H20
Jalen/Ariza
Walker/Sweets/JYD
Nazr/Vin Baker

Let me say again, I'm a Tim Thomas fan (believe it or not) so if this trade didn't go down, I'm cool with riding out the season, hoping we gell (like last year when we got some wins) and getting swept out of the second round by the heat.

There's no defense in that squad either. We will score more points, but we will probably lose just as much.

looking at the trade again, it probably doesn't make much sense for the atlanta (unless they want players) or toronto (cap relief)

Trade ID number 2187512

Won't happen. Atlanta traded fro Walker becuase of his expiring contract. They want cap space.

walker is an effective low post threat that will be double teamed. Opening up the floor for others? The more I've thought about it, our team is a team built for a future run at the championship.

The young core of sweets, ariza, crawford...led by marbs and surrounded by role players JYD (defense and energy), H20 (offense and veteran leadership) and Vin (the wild card) keeps me confident in Zeke.

I even thought for asecond that we should have traded craw for vinsanity (btw, did you see the billboard across from the garden of Vince Carter...does any knick have a giant billboard?)

but in the end, I like this team and I would like to think TT and Craw won't shoot 20% the rest of the season.

If we do this deal, it will be the best move that Isiah has made since he acquired Marb...Walker is a definite upgrade over Kurt, Nazr, and TT combined. Jalen can play 1,2,and 3. However, JYD can't be behind Sweet nor ARiza...

We would instantly become the running thugs.

Our nastiness will be our defense.

Because we are deep, we can play one on one in the post and prevent layups with brute force.

I'm this close to calling for Lenny's head! We must "be aggressive, be be aggressive"

I just think they are playing some sort of thinking mans defense as opposed to a beat yo ass defense.

the way our team plays defense definitely resemble Lenny with his arms crossed around his chest.....slow to react, and most of all no desire what so ever.....

man, i would so love to get Al Harrington for this team, but i don't see ATL doing it.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
