Of Course. His contract is up after the season. Rockets would have to take one of Jefferies or Curry to do so, though, which is why it aint happening. In addion to Curry/Jefferies I’d give them any damn player they want except Gallo, but as soon as Donnie says Gallo isn’t to be had, Morey hangs up the phone.

wouldnt give em wilson, but a curry(or jeffries…ha)-duhon-harrington move would be great if it werent so unlikely.

course id also love to trade duhon for mike conley and hughes for rudy fernandez, but thats just me.

since this is only a trade option…I’d consider it if we could get rid of Curry and Jeffries.

But only if we can get rid of Curry and Jeffries (and AL Harrington and Chris Duhon…tired of watching these mopes on the floor).

Only.

No one else.

     We’re looking to trade either Curry or Jeffries. They’re both killing our cap space, but at least Curry can contribute something, but we know Jeffries will never contribute anything.
     For them to take Jeffries, we’d have to give them a really good player, like Lee. That’s okay with me. I love Lee and appreciate all his hard work, but I still believe that he looks better than he really is, because of A) D’Antoni’s system, and B) all the other crappy players around him.
     Plus, this opens up minutes for Jordan Hill. Hopefully McGrady will come here, his injuries will linger like they always do, and the young guys will keep developing.

The Rockets are looking for expirings – they don’t want to take on salary. So I doubt they take on Curry. But I happen to think one of these expiring-for-expiring trades is going to happen for the Knicks. Harrington/Hughes works. Or Harrington/Duhon/Darko. I don’t know how Walsh explains that to the fans. Maybe we can do Harrington/Duhon/Jeffries. They save most of their money but get Harrington…. Though I’m not sure why they would risk poisoning their team attitude with Knicks at this point…. I just like the trade idea if the Knicks trade Harrington and Duhon because that would allow Gallo and Douglas to play extensive minutes.

Don’t trade with someone way smarter than you — the Rockets, unlike the Knicks, understand basketball. They wouldn’t take Curry if he were the last 7 footer on earth — the best you can hope for is that he doesn’t die on the court (sad but true: Eddie’s lethargy is metabolic: he’ll never block shots because his heart doesn’t beat hard enough to let him jump). I personally hope he retires before his body quits for good.

If we end up with McGrady, you’ll find that through some technicality we have no 1st round draft picks until 2015, no banners left hanging from MSG, and the letter “S” removed from all team jerseys.

Forget about it. We missed our chance with Iverson.

is interesting because its really sheds some light on whom each of us thinks has value going into next season. I’m really surprised that people think that any of our players are worth holding onto except Gallo, and to a lesser degree Douglas. Wilson Chandler is not a very good player. Sure he has potential, but the reality is that he can’t shoot, plays low percentage basketball, and plays the most replaceable position in the lig. I just went through all the rosters and found only 5 teams that I would not currently trade starting SFs with (for this season, contract nonwithstanding)

Miami – James Jones
Nets – Trenton Hassell
Kings – Nocioni
Warriors – Magette
Clips – Al Thorton (close)

For Utah and Portland, I used Kirilenko and any of B Roy, Outlaw, or Rudy Fernandez even though they either don’t start or are out of position.

Anywho, I’m saying the guy is about the farthest thing from untouchable. Plus he plays the same position as Gallo. He’s definitely not a 2 (can’t shoot) nor a 4 (can’t D or board well enough), so he’s gonna be our backup. If a team wants him who is willing to give up an expiring, pull the trigger

In our 3 wins he’s averaging 8.7pts a game. I’m so excited somebod hold me down! He moves stiffly on the court. No defensive presence. He gets some stas, but it’s the NBA — players with minutes are bound to get a certain number of pts and rebounds. The question is do their teams win when they get those numbers? How many games has Gallo won for us?

Now c’mon, I’m not saying he’s a bad player. I like him just fine. But people are going crazy like he’s untouchable just because we have nothing else. There are other rooks (look i even give him the benefit of calling him a rookie) who have definitely won games for their teams so far: Jennings, Evans, Thornton/Brown, maybe Ty Lawson, but so far Gallo has just shown he’s worthy of good minutes on a last place team.

Again, not a bad pick, but if the price is right, I’d trade him. Especially since he’s likely to be overvalued thanks to all the PR and because an average player among bums is gonna look exceptional.

Now I’m just making myself smile, but AI is still out there, for $1.3M. I would love to see him and McGrady together on the Knicks. That might actually be a team.

McGrady was soooooo sweet. He was up there with KG, Kobe, Duncan, Carter (in his prime) as a player who would single-handedly win games no matter what. I remember him just popping from 3 ft behind the top of the 3 pt line over and over and you just knew . . . . He could be playing with me and my friends and he would’ve won some games. And then AI! oh I fear I am getting old and nostalgic. But I’d rather the knicks be a keepsake team then a total throwaway.

or lack thereof. the only thing i see in any of these trades is $. with a 3-10 basketball team that has no chance to make the playoffs, that’s how the Knicks should be looking at it as well. this isn’t about improving the team for 2009-10 – it’s about freeing up more monopoly money for this summer.

so $22M expiring for a 2nd round pick, 2 yr/$1.25, 2 yr/$10.5M, and $13.5M expiring seems to make sense to me. (that’s McGrady for a 2nd rounder, Chandler, Curry, and Hughes)

i’m not sure if the Rockets would do that deal, but i can’t imagine them getting any semi-attractive trade packages for an injury-prone 30-year old with a ton of tread on his tires.

im a point guard who made 6 for 8 three pointers in a game once… (and shoots 20% fg rest of the time lol) and also injury prone

I would fit right in

We need to get T-Mac & Iverson. i read in a interview with koby that new york aint never had a superstar nba player like him or lebron, and dwade, tmac could be and iverson. im just saying give up dohun and darko for T-Mac, and sign ive vets minimum and we could be like the next boston, trust me…

if every one just submit to the fact that there is no i in team and team work makes the dream work, we could be making some noise in the eastern confrence.

ill give darko and jeffries

Who needs Mcgrady — this is one of the basketball capitals in the world. You telling me our blacktops aren’t full of showboating highschoolers, bearded dads with hook shots, asians who play crazy defense, mexcians who shoot two handed jump shots, white boys who run the pick and roll, russians who swing sweaty elbows etc etc etc — who are better than Jefferies, Darko, Duhon and so on?
