With all the movement out of New York today... (along with an interesting thought from our friends at poasting and toasting) I decided to play with the following trade scenario.
Now.
Why would we do this you say?
We are giving up arguably our best post defender in "The Landlord" Shelden Williams. Our energy/hustle/coolnessfactor guy in Mikki Moore and our favorite combo-guard-with-a-uni-brow Quincy Douby.
And getting in return a defensive liability in the post (i.e. Curry) and an undersized 4 man with a great motor and a lot of hustle in David Lee.
I have always had a fascination with Eddy Curry (these days it is more like the fascination with a train-wreck or watching the fat-kid eat 12 doughnuts). He has a massive amount of talent but never seemed to have the drive to really get out on the court and achieve his full potential. I think in a place like Sacramento where we are patient with our ball players and care for them on a level that sometimes borders on sainthood (helllloooooo Bobby Jackson) Eddy could come back around as he is still young. Not to mention that playing for a guy like Theus could be a good thing because Theus always seems to get a lot out of the players. And we have a decent big-man coach in 'Reef.
We get rid of Williams (who I actually like despite his warts I think he could be an asset as a third or fourth big man who can board and play good D ala Haslem) and we do lose our "hustle guy" but we get back a younger better scoring version of him in David Lee. We clear a bit of the wing-jam but do not help ourselves upfront.
What do you guys think?

NO thanks
Want no part of Eddy Curry. Especially for a price that allows the Knicks to cut salary for no real reason. The Clippers already did the Knicks one favor today. I say the Kings should let some other team do the Knicks a favor.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on
eh
They swapped their crap. I’m not sure they really did each other a favor other than trade another guy off their roster.

holy crap
I just read about the Clips trade. wow. They are really just a ragtag bunch of misfits right now.
Baron, Ricky,Camby, Randolph, Thorton. Weird group. Hella thug group. They’re going to be a disaster. The only way they could have been worse is if they kept Thomas.
Donte? Donte'! Donté?!?!

Before Kaman & Camby were paired up
I th ought Z-Bo would be headed to LA. Guess I was right, just a lot different outlook than I thought. LOL

The Clips are
the new Knicks(or just the Clips) and the Knicks are moving in a good direction.

I love it Kfan
This is an insane trade from LA’s perspective I think. But that’s what I Think. It could easily work too.

wont work
im sorry but mike dunleavy is a terrible GM. he ruined that team in his first year as a GM lol.
first hes beefing with bdiddy, secondly Z-Bo is a player proven to do well on the court but he just isnt a winner. iono i just think this trade hurts the clips alot more than it helps. the only good thing i thoguht this trade would bring is playing time for eric gordon…i was wrong, they decided to start ricky davis lol.

agreed
Mike Dunleavy is a dumb GM, yes, but he is not a good coach.
This team has weird, complex talents. Dunleavy is not the person to make them mesh. If I had to pick a coach for this squad, I can only think of two coaches. One would be Adleman, but that’s not an option. The other would be van Gundy, because he would mire them in defensive focus to the point where their offensive incongruity would become useful.
Donte? Donte'! Donté?!?!

No thanks
Williams and Douby are expiring contract and Moore is either small trade bait or a $2+ million buyout. This versus $31.5 million of rotten meat and a guy that is good but will be looking for a payday. Ick.

It's a good point
I do not particularly love the trade idea… but I do love changing things up a bit.
I just know that New York wants to deal and we have some pieces that can/need to be moved.
Blessings.Love.Peace

BRILLIANT!
Well it is, even if I’m using the stupid Guinness commercial to mock you.

That's just
cruel.

That is hell
Or another version is probably admitting that DTS had a good master plan all along.

eddy curry
is a fat fuck who cant play. no way would i want him under any circumstances.
ive always been a fan of david lee but for how much money? hes gnna want alot of money this coming offseason…personally id rather just see what jt and hawes have to bring to the table.
its a FUCK NO because curry was involved…if you coulda found a better way to bring along lee it might been better but nontheless curry ruins it.

compared to bogut, okafor, etc.
He can get a five year 40 mill deal.
9 mill a year for a really good back-up?
Donte? Donte'! Donté?!?!
'spect da 'xtra E'
9 million
isnt chump change…first things first im pretty sure pietrie has a plan for that money, iono what it is but you know hes figured somthing out…as you guys saw yesturday teams are going crazy to find money in 2010…the knicks dumped ther whoel team for the hopes of 2010…we got some valueable contracts that expire in 2 yrs so i saw we take advantage of some teams :)

Prerequisite for Kings/Knicks trade scenarios
The Kings must include Kenny Thomas (NY is one of the few teams who would take him)
The Knicks must include a first round pick (they don’t have anybody on the roster that could really fill a need for the Kings at the moment)
Guys
How does Adam Morrison sound on the kings?
Or how about Brad Miller and Mikki Moore for Dwight Howard. hahaha jus playin. But Im serious about Adam Morrison

$5.3 miilion next year and a $6.9 million QO the year after that
For a guy that is third on Charlotte’s (CHARLOTTE’S!!!) depth chart at small forward, and a guy that cannot play defense at the NBA level.
No thanks.

Knicks biggest problem
are guys with no heart. Curry has one, but it doesn’t work so well. Layden, D’Antoni are dismissing these guys from the roster any way they can. It is no secret. GP is not buying.
