Who Would We Want from the Knicks ...?

[JohnVancouver]

Isaiah says he sees no trades coming, despite they hole they are in, which means ... nothing. He also says he wants to win a championship or two with this team ...

At the same time they are reportedly talking to Sac about Artest and offering Balkman in the package.

Who would we want if there is a NY 'going out of business" sale?

I'd love to see Balkman or Lee here, just for attitude, hustle and rebounding.

[rsavaj]

Balkman and Lee....that's it. Q kinda sucks now, or else I'd love to have him back too.

[TASTIC]

Balkman and Lee, and QRich if we could dump either Banks or Diaw for him

And that Chandler kid looks like he could be good in a few years...

I'm probably the only one who wouldn't mind Crawford here as a backup 1/2...

[ma_falaa_50]

I think Balkman would be a nice addition. He is a hustle player which the suns lack off the bench. Lee could help rebound and is also a hustle player.

I agree with first 3 players but Crawful would be just frustrating, launching J's and disrupting the flow of our offense.

[TASTIC]

^I disagree. I think he brings an aggresive combo guard with good size and athleticism, and someone who could team with Barbosa to form a decent backup backcourt

[KJ7]

I don't mind Crawford (obviously I thought enough of him to have him on my fantasy team). But he *is* wildly inconsistent and the fact he has never played for a good team is a bit off-putting.

Having said all that a part of me definitely agrees with TASTIC. Not sure about the teaming up with LB part as both of their defending is suspect but especially with our offense I think he's the type of player that plays instinctively and that's exactly what we want. He could pour in the points over a short period of time with our offense. Has good athleticism and is a decent shooter which always goes well in our system.

I think Crawful would actually flourish in Phoenix's system, as long as he is brought off the bench...

I guess the problem there then becomes can both Barbosa and Crawful co-exist?

That's what I'm wondering too....both seem to be similar players, and both are only effective when they have the ball.

[TASTIC]

The thing with Crawford is that he CAN handle like a point, whereas Barbosa gives it up to either Hill or Diaw as soon as he gets past halfway, or he alternatively goes head down and on his lonesome. Crawford and Barbosa would be a NIGHTMARE to try and shutdown off the bench together, the D couldn't let up so we could keep playing small ball when Nash is out, as opposed to slowing it down with Barbosa/Bell/Hill/Diaw/Skinner

[Shzm13]

Only Lee would fit our system.

[ana_suns]

I agree only Lee fits our system.

[eastsidecrossover]

craw and barbs on this team, HELL no. both guys cant pass the ball, especially barbs. they force bad shots all the time.

Lee is a nice player, but I dont think we are going to be dealing with the knicks anytime soon.

[Phx4Life08]

I would trade Diaw for Crawford Straight up

[PHXfan85]

I think the Suns could use D'antoni.

...nah I'm just kiddin with y'all.
