Quote:
The Knicks have a trade proposal on the table with the Memphis Grizzlies that would see Darko Milicic and Marko Jaric dealt to New York in exchange for Zach Randolph.
An executive with knowledge of the trade talks said Friday that Knicks president Donnie Walsh initiated the Randolph-to-Memphis talks with the Grizzlies recently and it's up to Walsh to sign off on the deal. But it appears Walsh has cooled to the idea of trading his player, the executive said.
A Knicks spokesman declined comment Friday.
Milicic is reportedly owed $14.5 million over the next two seasons, and Jaric will make $21.3 million the next three seasons. The Knicks want to trade Randoph because his contract runs through 2010-11. He will be paid nearly $48 million over those three seasons.
The move would help the Knicks with their salary cap. It has been widely perceived that their goal is get under the cap before the summer of 2010 so they can make a run at LeBron James and other high-profile free agents who will hit the market that offseason.

Well... Seems that Chris Wallace really wants Randolph... So, I would call it a good deal if we could include Buckner in this trade. I would even take on Malik Rose larger (but expiring) contract if needed.

Wasn't this reported weeks ago as the Grizzlies proposing this deal and Walsh turned it down because he (amazingly) believed Randolph was worth more? Darrell Arthur gets busted for pot, so now Donnie thinks that he can call a do over? What makes this guy any less incompetent than Isiah Thomas?
Re: Source: 3-Player Trade Proposal Between Knicks & Grizzlies
All three players have bad contracts. I'd rather deal with Milicic and Jaric (not to mention his wife courtside) than with Randolph's idiocy and lazy work habit. At least Milicic puts an effort in on defense.

I wonder if this is Memphis' backhanded way of unloading Darko & Marko for an expiring deal? (By later trading Z-Bo to Cleveland for Wally Szczerbiak Szczuperstar.)

Memphis forward Darko Milicic recently told the Serbian media that he believes there is a "99 percent" chance he'll be a Knick by the end of the week, according to Newsday.
There is reportedly a deal on the table that would send Milicic and Marko Jaric to New York for Zach Randolph.
