I admire your persistence, but for the umpteenth time:

- the Wolves are not trading Ratliff's expiring for Marbury's one year extra, because it will plow them into the luxury tax and chew up almost all the savings they get elsewhere (and possibly cost them young players they can't re-sign)
- the Knicks have little interest in taking on those longer-term contracts for limited players, much less give up guys they actually want to keep (like Collins and Jones) to get them.

It's just flawed logically, shag, and swapping out bit parts here and there is NEVER going to make it work.

See, loserX, this is where we disagree. I don't admire his persistence.
