Fed-UP Isiah May Eye Deal
Quote:
Thomas insinuated some guys on the club can't play in the manner he wants, and made his most damning remarks yet about Curry, pointing out his flaws and admitting Curry may not develop into a franchise center to build around.
It seems the time for the Knicks to reignite trade talks for Ron Artest, who can opt out after next season. With team morale at its lowest and one of the supposed team leaders, on-the-block Malik Rose, recently asking to be placed on the inactive list, Artest can't make the climate any worse. Rose dressed last night only because of Quentin Richardson's knee injury, but did not play.
Thomas said in the summer he wouldn't deal David Lee or Renaldo Balkman for Artest, but that may have changed.
Thomas' recent rips on Curry could be perceived as bracing fans for Curry's departure.
"I can say that, as always, if we can improve our team, we will," Thomas said yesterday, which usually is code phrase for saying the club is active in trade talks. And there's a growing sense more than just Rose wants out too.
Curry's trade value is in the pits. Would Isiah actually now offer him up for Artest? Meanwhile, Stephon Marbury privately has worried if his Knick days are numbered after the Phoenix incident, when Thomas told him he could go home. The last three Knicks whom Thomas allowed to leave the team, Penny Hardaway, Shandon Anderson and Dikembe Mutombo, were soon sent packing.
Thomas also seems down on the Renaldo Balkman-Nate Robinson-Jared Jeffries bench trio. "Those guys, you got to have energy to be effective," Thomas said. "Right now our so-called energy players, with the exception of David, they haven't been that effective. It's bad play."

Re: Fed-UP Isiah May Eye Deal
Renaldo Balkman isn't giving you guys enough energy? We'll trade you Tony Allen for him.

Re: Fed-UP Isiah May Eye Deal
despite what zeke wants its somewhat obvious a small forward has to go if artest is aquired whether it is chandler, balkman Q, or jeffries too many not ready for prime time characters there...if thomas can make a deal and keep the core of the team intact , i'd be surprised.
