Knicks that still need to be banished from NYC

Found November 21, 2008 on HotNonPorn:
PLAYERS: Eddy Curry,  Stephon Marbury,  Jerome James,  Malik Rose,  Quentin Richardson,  Al Harrington,  Jamal Crawford,  Cuttino Mobley,  Tim Thomas,  Zach Randolph,  Mardy Collins
TEAMS: New York Knicks

Al Harrington for Jamal Crawford and Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas for Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins : Donnie Walsh means business in New York. Malcontents and ballhogs who aren't helping in the Knicks' rebirth have been sent packing, with two major trades within the last 24 hours. I seriously doubt the Knicks are done dealing. Getting rid of Crawford, and especially Randolph, is a start, but something still stinks in New York. Here are some rotten apples (pun intended) that need to be thrown out ASAP.

  • I agree that it's stupid to count on getting LeBron James and Chris Bosh in 2010 (pipe dreams, until made reality). That said, most of the guys being traded are expendable in one way or another.

    But if I were a Knicks fan, I'd be going crazy if the Knicks started gutting even guys like Chris Duhon (lunch pail point guard reminiscent of Charlie Ward), Nate Robinson (tough, tough little man with bright future), Danilo Gallinari (young, versatile forward), David Lee or Wilson Chandler.

    Granted, none of the guys mentioned above are stars, and some never will be, but they are hard-working players who would improved any team.

  • There would be no point in gutting those guys. The whole point is to clear cap space and Walsh made sure not to sign anyone through 2010 since he came to the Knicks.

    The decisions will have to be made on extending David Lee and Nate Robinson though 2010. We have refused to trade Lee so I'm assuming we'll give him an extension. Gallinari and Chandler have contracts through 2010, but are for a comibined 5.5 (ish) mil so it's not a huge deal.

Knicks see immediate dividends in first game after trades

Via tonyblogs.net  |  November 21, 2008
It seems like the Knicks plan is to be a bad team for a while until they can sign someone and part of the plan was trading away two good players because of their bad contracts. They looked like a very bad team in tonight's loss to the Bucks in Milwaukee. Looks like the plan is working.Check out more from Tony Arnoldine at http://tonyblogs.net
