Read this is the 'bloids...and, believe it or not...I agree:
Sweetney is foul prone and I'd give him up for a front court "big" right now.

Quote from 'Bloid:

Remember, though, that Thomas said last week he wouldn't consummate any "short-term fix ... patchwork" deals just to change things for the sake of change. Let's see if that holds up against his itchy trigger finger and his desire to keep the news of his team from getting buried next to the NHL labor-talk reports in the tabloids.

Thus, expect the Kurt Thomas-for-Long Island's Wally Szczerbiak scenario to reemerge. Minnesota is also reeling and needs toughness, while the Knicks need a shooter with Allan Houston on ice again.

Their early season reluctance to trade Michael Sweetney could also soften, for the second-year big man one fan recently serenaded with Fat Albert-like shouts of "Hey, hey, hey!" has seemingly plateaued. Even the criticize-with-care MSG Network lambasted him for lack of effort Tuesday night - a likely sign his welcome is wearing thin at the top.

I would say trade him and keep Kurt...We are not using anyway....

I agree that Sweets should start. He is only going to get better. He will learn the game faster if he starts. KT until we get rid of him would be a very good 6th man. Sweets will improve his game this offseason and hopefully will hit weight room and not the fridge. If he can lose a few pounds his production will improve. A good coach next year will help me improve his skills.
