Knicks-Related Trade "THOUGHTS" Thread

[GONYK]

I know I've said this elsewhere but I'd like to see Jordan Hill back here for Novak.

Knicks need some depth, rebounding, and defense at the bigs and I'd rather see us push for a younger guy instead of a vet at this point. I think Copeland covers for Novak just fine and the guard rotation is much stronger with Felton and Shumpert coming back.

Hill is out for the season with a hip injury

Full season??? **** that then. Nothing happened. Nothing to see above.

Maybe somebody "like" Hill though I can't think of another guy off the top of my head for that price.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Suns GM Lance Blanks and center Jermaine O'Neal engaged in a loud, expletive-laced confrontation on Monday, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
As @paulcoro reports, O'Neal will not be accompanying Suns on road trip. Story soon on Y! Sports.

What can we offer?

Chris Smith?

I could see Denver doing Mozgov for Novak.

I don't love that deal, but we can't go into the playoffs without a reliable third big. Those line-ups with Amare at center yesterday just killed us.

Novak package to D'Antoni for Artest would make more sense...then if they really want to play Anthony out of position at PF they don't have to go with a defense/reboundless Copeland.

My three favorite Novak returns are Artest, Wilson Chandler, and Mbah a Moute. Unfortunately, I don't see the other teams pulling the trigger on any of those.

Mozzy I could see happening.

Denver is in no business of paying luxury tax which Novak would put them over next season. That is besides the fact that they have four combo forwards on the roster already.

Just live with Novak already. He has a three year contract. He ain't going anywhere for at least two more seasons.

Artest might actually be possible. Novak would be raining 3's like nobodies business with D'Antoni as the Lakers starting PF and backup C.

Thought Mozzy was on a multi-year too.

Well, no. He is expiring. We can go after him in the summer if we want.

Or trade KT, Brewer, and White for Mozgov, Stone, Quincy Miller.

Works under the checker.

[ORANGEandBLUE]

How about this one: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=bb3wa53

Detroit gets Novak
Dallas gets Daye, Sheed, KT, and Brewer (all expirings, as opposed to Marion who has two years left)
NY gets Shawn Marion

Maybe the Suns buy out Jermaine Oneal and the Knicks can pick him up. JO is the cleanest, personality wise, of the bunch so if the reason they haven't moved on either Birdman or Martin was because of character concerns then JO would avoid that. He's looked pretty good so far this season as a backup guy.

[falcindor]

I think Knicks are poised for a trade in the next month. Amare isnt going anyway and dont see a reason to move him anyway. Knicks have too many SF's.

Knicks will make their splash for a PG. The east is loaded with better PG's. Knicks want an upgrade.
