I mean trading for Marbury is bad enough, but including two first rounders, including the 2010 pick that is SO highly protected that the Knicks would have had to be an elite team for it NOT to be unprotected is unforgiveable.

I also can't imagine anyone taking Randolph (17 million) and probably not Curry (11 million). The most likely trade condidates are David Lee and Jamal Crawford - guys that actually have some value. If the Knicks dump Crawford for a contract expiring in 2010, they could get under the cap enough to make a run at Lebron. They would also be pretty bad.Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570303484329212847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-62579058805387202032008-07-10T14:40:00.000-07:002008-07-10T14:40:00.000-07:00One would think the Knicks would be crappy in two ...One would think the Knicks would be crappy in two years because, as the Guru points out, they're going to be unloading salaries like crazy in preparation to go after LeBron James ("go after" might be too weak of a phrase. . . "have David Stern mandate the addition of" is probably better). On the other hand, they have some AWFUL contracts. These include a bunch of player options worth tens of millions of dollars. . .not all that easy to unload. On the OTHER hand (yes, I have three hands) their expensive players also happen to also be incredibly crappy -- except for Randolph, who is crazy instead -- so even if they don't unload them they'll likely suck. <BR/><BR/>As the secretary who sued the Knicks for $11.6 million and won once said (or at least should have said), God Bless Isiah!Pasty Gangstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443807466654920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-14793077943501148322008-07-10T13:24:00.000-07:002008-07-10T13:24:00.000-07:00Brilliant summary!

The Knicks will be trying to unload salary in the meantime to get under the cap for the 2010 spending-spree (who knows how this will affect their wins/losses?). This is important to the Jazz...because we'll be going through serious changes with resigning our players & managing our own cap space over the next two years. Having a dynamite lotto pick in our pocket could literally change our fortunes and future in how we desire to spend our $$$. Oh the possibilities in 2010!Draft Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119001539960595745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-13530128768317861132008-07-10T13:14:00.000-07:002008-07-10T13:14:00.000-07:00By the way - it's REALLY hard to find a picture of...By the way - it's REALLY hard to find a picture of Keon Clark in a Jazz uniform.Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570303484329212847noreply@blogger.com
