Knicks - Blazers trade

According to executives with two teams, the Knicks are discussing a swap of first-round picks with Portland. The Knicks would send the No. 6 pick, forward David Lee and another player to the Trail Blazers for the 13th and 27th picks and a player, possibly Steve Blake or Jarrett Jack. (Portland is acquiring the 27th pick from New Orleans.)

wtf are the knicks doing??? I mean not that I think highly of Lee but together with #6 you shouldn't trade down while getting equal player talent. and "another player" is certainly not going to be a player with a fat contract because Blake and Jack don't have fat contracts either.

... and I thought Isiah wouldn't be in charge anymore...

it sounds like a lot of horse **** coming out of NY

Lee straight up for the #5, and now at the opposite end of the spectrum, 6/Lee for garbage

all ridiculous
