New York trades:
PG Jason Williams (if we get him)
PF Marcus Camby

New York receives:
SF Lamar Odom
2 Lotto picks
Fillers

LA Clips get their PG solution and we get our picks for drafting rebuilding parts ..

New York trades:
SG Allan Houston
PF Kurt Thomas

New York receives:
C Antonio Davis
SF Mo Peterson
Fillers

TOR gets its second scorer and with VC driving to the hoop (hopefully) Houston will thrive in the 3 point arc .. TOR also loses nothing by receiving Thomas in place of Davis ..

New York trades:
PG Charlie Ward
PF Othella Harrington
2002 2nd round pick

New York receives:
C Greg Ostertag
Late 1st round pick

UTA gets rid of Ostertag and gets Ward, whose contract runs out the same year Osterfats contract runs out .. UTA also gets a cheap banging PF in Othella .. The positive thing for NY is it gets rid of the PG glut and moves up in the draft ..

New York drafts:
SF Caron Butler(LA pick)
PF Amare Stoudemire (LA pick)
PG Jiri Welsch (UTA pick)

These three are excellent young players that will help ease the transition of the old Knicks to the future Knicks ..

New York signs:
C Jerome James

New York Knicks 2002

Butler is a small forward, and with Mo-Pete that doesn't make sense. I'd rather have Borchardt, a possible steal late, and he wears cool knee-high socks. Knicks would then have Postell to back up Spree @ the 2. Build around a Borchardt/Stoudy combo and then in 2003 hope for the number 1, because Knicks wouldn't be that good, and get LeBron James. Down the road:
C-Curtis Borchardt
PF-Amare Stoudemire
SF-Odom/MoPete
SG-LeBron
PG-Welsh

That's a hot team right there.
