Q:In the New York Times, they reported you were interested in acquiring players like Jamal Crawford and Rasheed Wallace. Can you talk about this report and your ultimate vision for the Knicks' roster?
Thomas: "We are always looking to improve our roster in any way possible and will go wherever we can to do so. We have made some strides in that area but it doesn't make sense to speculate on speculation."

I don't like being super nit-picky, and he could be talking about EITHER Crawford or Wallace, and it certainly makes sense that he'd be after Wallace more than Crawford, since they just acquired Marbury to be Isaiah's crowned PG, but...
"We have made some strides in that area..."
Sounds like he's not done. Is there a New York trade that is good out there?
I can't think of one. I would have liked Lampe from them if they kept him. Frank Williams is a good home-state talent, and I'd be happy turning ERob + Fizer into KVH, but that's too big of a makeover and it seems like Marbury and Van Horn are doing okay.
