The thing is, it's gonna be hard to improve that much - even though there's some big contracts coming off the books, aren't the Knicks still gonna be over the cap in 2007?
And there's no awesome rookie coming next year either (as you'll be swapping with the Bulls). Thankfully, the 2007 draft should be deep enough that a 20's pick should be worthwhile. Not as good as it could have been.
In retrospect, does anyone think the Curry deal was a good idea?
Sweetney, Thomas, 2 1st rounders.. (well, 1 and a swap) for Eddy Curry, and Antonio Davis.
= Eddy Curry and Jalen Rose.
As opposed to simply having Sweetney, Rudy Gay (I imagine a SF would have been taken), and possibly someone like Thaddeus Young..
But anyway - I don't think the Knicks will make the playoffs (barring a trade), but they won't finish last.

I'm not saying the Blazers are a lot better than the Knicks, but I think we just match up better to you guys. Blake(Jack)/Roy(Dixon)/Webster(Miles)/Zach(LaMarcus)/Joel(Raef) is decent, but just too young to be any good. The Knicks are a total mess, and the Blazers aren't much better. But we are on our way, and much faster than the Knicks.
That Curry trade has really kicked you in the ***. If it wasn't for that, you guys would be in the playoffs and decent in 1-2 years.
