WHarris1 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The Knicks most definitely have a mold of players they look for. I will give them that. They are pretty damn consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanForever Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Where they gonna play him? As a SF or what? They already have a log jam at the SG/SF position with Jamal/Q-Rich/Penny/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how you build a 1-2-3 rotation: 2005/2006 Stephon Marbury $16,500,000 Penny Hardaway $15,750,000 Allan Houston $19,125,000 ($8,000,000 paid by Knicks) Jalen Rose $15,700,000 Quentin Richardson $7,000,000 Shannon Anderson $6,700,000 Jamal Crawford $6,500,000 Maurice Taylor $9,100,000 Close to $90 million, and this is before you tally up the salaries for the frontcourt players, one of which is a huge contract for the heartless, brainless Eddy Curry.

thedoctor Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2317958 Didnt see this anywhere, the Knicks trade AD for Rose and a first round pick. The Knicks now have about 7 guards who can't pass and wont play defense to go with Channing Frye and Eddy Curry.... and they just traded away a solid expiring contract. At least thats my initial reaction. Any other thoughts? my initial reaction is that isiah is dumb as f***. let's see, trade away a guy making 13 million in the last year of his contract for a guy making $15 million with another year on his contract at that rate. then add a shoot-first player to a team already overloaded with selfish combo guards. yep. dumb as f***.

I totally forgot about Allan Houston. That's terrible. Actually, insurance is paying the bulk of Allan Houston's contract, but the salary numbers are still astronomical. EDIT: The Knicks have to pay about $15 MIL or his remaining $40 MIL, and insurance will take care of the rest.

Kyyle23 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) The New York Knicks have acquired Toronto Raptors guard/forward Jalen Rose and a first-round pick in exchange for power forward Antonio Davis, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reports. Hollinger's Trade Breakdown If there's a player who is the antithesis of what Knicks coach Larry Brown is about, it's Jalen Rose. Brown likes his players mentally tough and defensive-minded; Rose is completely offensive-minded and bristles at the slightest suggestion that he might no longer be a star. The two were paired briefly in Indiana and mixed about as well as peanut butter and tacos. Brown grew incensed by Rose's defensive lapses and banished him to the pine, and Rose got upset. Oddly enough, this pattern later repeated itself when Rose played for Thomas in Indiana, which is why I didn't expect to see Rose turn up in New York. Incidentally, Antonio Davis, now a Raptor for the second time, may agree to a buyout with Toronto, and if so one imagines he'll eventually land back home in Chicago. LOL, I am sure Michael Axelrod is thrilled that BOTH Davis' will be in town more often now. Edited February 3, 2006 by kyyle23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 whoops, shoulda looked here before I posted the trade thread. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 At first I thought this was just for the pick, as bad as Toronto's doing. But it's Denver's pick, and protected for the top 10 spots. How long before Brown's head explodes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinilaw08 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I gotta say, AD would help the Bulls out if only it would mean no more minutes for Malik Allen. I have no idea what the Knicks are thinking here, as has been posted over and over in this thread, they already have too many players at that position. And I agree, Larry Brown is getting exactly what he deserves here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Guess this means Q-Rich is probably on his way to Atlanta soon probably, or even Portland, with Harrington or Ratliff coming back the other way. And what's the point really of getting these 1st rounders when Brown's not even going to play them. They make the Blackhawks look like a functional organization.

I guess he plays them now that he has to 'cause he really didn't have to with more veteran teams that played more his style before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
