Ridnour just had two pretty bad seasons and has been outplayed by Watson last season. He doesn't looks like he's able to come off the bench and help a team, while Watson produces no matter if he starts or comes off the bench.
Overall i just think that Ridnour won't cut it for this franchise anymore and that a trade would be the best thing for him.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if Ridnour's BYC expires in July the deal could still be completed then (assuming Presti and Walsh trust each other enough). You guys could draft Bayless at 4 but not sign him, we could draft Westbrook at 6 but not sign him, and then the signing rights could be officially traded in July when Ridnour's BYC expires.
I can't remember a trade like this and i doubt that any team would be alright with doing something like this, where another team could still decide to go another way, which would leave you looking really dumb.
He doesn't represent the Knicks board at all. Most Knicks fans understand how much D'Antoni wants Bayless and would give something of value in return. I would give any player on the roster not named Lee.
