Workout News and Rodriguez Rumors

Alan Hahn's on his Knicks beat game today, with two draft-related stories to share. The first is the workout list for tomorrow and Wednesday:

Walsh and his staff will bring in six players on Tuesday to MSG’s Westchester campus for a workout. The lineup includes Syracuse guard Jonny Flynn and North Carolina guard Ty Lawson, along with Toney Douglas (Florida State), Tywain McKee (Coppin State), Dante Cunningham (Villanova) and Leo Lyons (Missouri).

After that, it's the big names:

The Knicks will get a close-up look at Curry on Wednesday when he comes to the MSG Training Center in Greenburgh for his predraft workout. Curry will be joined by UCLA guard Jrue Holiday, whom the Knicks are also very interested in, as well.

Hahn's also got the scoop on a Sergio Rodriguez rumor surfacing from overseas:

The story doesn't explain any detail of the deal and is mainly about how Rodriguez, who we know is unhappy with his role in Portland, would love to play in New York. What we don't know is how he gets here with a contract that has one year left at $1.8M (perfect for the Knicks short-term, cost-effective goals) before he becomes a restricted free agent.

Clearly, if this is remotely accurate, there will be other principles in the deal. We know the Knicks have had their eye on Rodriguez all season and have had discussions with Portland about him and Travis Outlaw (going in to his final year at $4M). Those talks involved David Lee, but Lee can not be traded on draft night.

Tomorrow we'll look over the workout results and find out who turned heads. Gotta believe that the Sergio rumors are merely some wily Spaniards jumping the gun, but you never know...

I don't really like trading Lee

but if the Knicks can get back Outlaw too? Can’t really argue with that.

If the Knicks sign Gortat like Walsh wants it would make the loss of D-Lee a bit more easier.

well

this particular proposed deal would happen on draft day, so it wouldn’t include lee.

Oh...

It has to be a draft day trade?

Doesn’t seem to be a pick in there tho.

This Blazers fan doesn't think Sergio's trade value is all that high

I’m thinking 2nd rounder… maybe just a little tad more, so…

Since the Blazers put a lawyer in the front office just to come up with weird trade ideas and since then gave him a V.P. and a raise, too… Let’s come up with a weird trade idea.

How about Sergio to the Knicks for a 2011 Knicks 2nd rounder (Knicks don’t have 2010 1st, most GMs won’t go without at least 1pick in a draft) and the Knicks Malik Rose trade exception?

That’s sounds about right to me.

Keep Portland Weird.

yea i'm with you

i don’t see how sergio could even demand the likes of nate robinson much less david lee. lee is on the verge of getting 10 mil or more per year. sergio is not getting the mle anywhere in this nba.

but i’d rather keep my malik trade exception. ya’lls could have some cash considerations. and maybe we’ll sign and trade wilcox your way. all this trading our top guys for mooks is out man.

i’m saying what can we the lords do with a punk like sergio rodriguez?
