Re: February 21st

lets see.1st some of the rumors

zach for gadzuric and simmons

marbury for snow and hughes

ben wallace for Q , f jones and malik seems like a good start.

and an added one i made up myself jerome james +3 mil. for marko jaric, to me this is an easy enough deal , james has 1 year less on his deal the wolves have a bunch of perimeter players and have litterally 1 guys on their whole roster above 6'9 (mike doleac and theo rathliff and i beleive both guys are hurt right now.)james and his use me or move me rant aside he would get some time there until he hurts himself again, the knicks gain another guard so maybe they stop playing crawford 45 minutes a night, a guard who has some size can play some pg and a passable outside shot.

if all 4 were done i think there would be improvement on several fronts

1. eddy would have the post again all to himself...that in itself should give a good shot in the arm to the team because through no real fault of zach eddy lost confidence when his touches were shared with randolph.

2.all 6 players the knicks would be getting back are defensive guys something the team needs .
3. all 6 guys the team would be getting back are known for their effort on the court.

4.wallace is a 4 on the knicks who can play center and that would balance out the knicks roster which really needs it

5. it would free up more time for lee at the 4 since wallace is adept at playing center...in my mind gadzuric would be foul/injury insurance, which apparently morris and james are not.

curry/gadzuric/morris
wallace/lee/jeffries
simmons/balkman/chandler
hughes/nate/jaric
jc/snow/mardy

not the world's best roster but one that actually fills some needs (defensive intensity, spacing for curry all around improved depth, while retaining some ability to make deals in the future (snow is an ending deal next season)
