I mean in terms of both salary and skill.

I would say it's Ben Wallace for sure. Maybe Kenny Thomas as a close 2nd.

Thoughts?

In terms of salary, I think you could make an argument for Rashard Lewis and Kenyon Martin.

Everyone on the Knicks roster.

I'd say LeBron, just because if you ever did trade him, you'd pretty much have to go underground after all the death threats.

At the beginning of the year I would have said Wallace but somehow Chicago got rid of him. With Lewis having so many years left on that franchise-killing monster, I'd have to go with him.

+1

Honestly, Kenny sucks, but he only has two years left. Personally I wouldn't trade him for Hughes, Big Ben, K-Mart, maybe not Nene, Gadzuric, Randolph, Curry, Rashard, maybe not Diaw, or Miles (if not insured).

Thomas is no longer untradeable. He has 2yrs left at 17mill which makes him a pretty undesirable commodity but I'd rather have him than: Nene, KMart, Wallace, Hughes, Radmonovic, Simmons, Gadzuric, Curry, Randolph, Q-Rich, Miles. Carter and Lewis will be on that list soon.

hah.. beat me to it.

How is Ben Wallace un tradable if he just got traded a month ago?

He was moved for someone equally undesirable. If you take it literally, any contract in the NBA can be traded.

Oh come on how is Radmonovic that bad? He's a sniper who can put it on the floor, get layups in the triangles, and even D up sometimes. Sure he had that horrible season but the dude is underrated. Look at him in his Seattle days.

Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury. Which teams would actually want them?

I have to think Marbury has cemented himself in as a stay away from me at all costs in the league.

Portland traded for Francis this past off season

^and he's doing nothing on the Rockets. I doubt any other teams would be willing to take a chance on him.

It's an interesting thread idea, but it is kinda hard to say cause you're facotring in salary lenght and undesirability.


Marbs - 1 years, 22 million, that's certainly not the most movable contract in the NBA. The trick is what do you take back in the 18-26 million range, but Marbs, 1 year left at this point, not the most untradable.

Jerome James, 2 years, 13 million is probably harder to move than Marbs, cause he can only take back 5-7 Mil in salaries and Marbs is easier to trade in a salary dump.

Jared Jeffries may be the most untradable knick with his 3 years and 19.5 million remaining.

or Q rich, 2 years, 18 Million.

Zach has the biggest contract, but Zach still has enough skill that teams show some interest.

For the KNicks - Jeffries, Q, Jerome would be my top 3 lease valuable.



Bobby Simmons, 2 years, 20.5 million has to be in for consideration

or Marco Jaric, 3 years, 21 million.

and I have to wonder how easily Dalembert is moved with 3 years, 34 million.



but if I were to list a top 3, it would be:


Nene - 4 years, 43 mil (you have to include the player option), and question his ability to return.

K-Mart 3 years, 46 million. He's an OK player, but overpaid.

Troy Murphy, 3 years, 33 million.


Those guys would be my top 3 least valuable trade chips.



but some might put Zach in the top 3. I think Zach still draws enough attention that he's more tradable.

to get rid of Randolph... Portland was not interested in him

But his contract is such that you could just trade for him as salary filler and waive him, and it wouldn't be a big deal. So he's very tradeable, really. And Marbury is expiring, so the same can kinda be said there.
