TRADE FRONT: Camby, Webster, Howard on the Blocks?

Chris Tomasson of the Rocky Mountain News says that payroll issues have the Denver Nuggets in a bind, which may lead to trading Marcus Camby.

I’ve heard plenty of Knick fans scream for a Camby comeback, but even if he’s traded I’d consider it a long shot that he returns to NY.

Also, Sean Meagher of the Oregonian is wondering what the future holds for Martell Webster.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Josh Howard may be on the blocks as well.

I love Howard, and is on the VERY short list of guys who I’d move Marbury’s contract for. I think Wilson Chandler is a starter in this league, but Howard is a special SF and the Mavs have to be thinking about cleaning house after two years of first round exits. That said, the Knicks may have to take Erick Dampier or Jason Terry’s contract in return, which would be a tough decision to make.

    Gotta love the Camby-man, but will he be the same block/rebound machine in 2010? All efforts need to be focused on that, and Donnie Walsh has basically said that already. To use the parlance of the Isiah era, we need to ‘stockpile assets’

    I would only trade for Camby if we were able to ship out Curry or Randolph. I personally would much rather ship out Curry because i think that Randolph has more potential going forward.

    I love Josh Howard as a ballplayer. He is one of the few players who can really play both sides of the ball very well. However, I do not think that the Mavericks would ship him for Marbury’s contract. Mark Cuban likes to win, and he won’t trade his second best player for an expiring contract. That said, I would love to have Howard.

    One guy who I think the Knicks should look into is TJ Ford. I think he can be had on the cheap, and he can really play. Although injury prone, he is a pure point who can really lead a team and control tempo. I believe that he can play in the bright lights of New York and he could be more than just a stop-gap point for the Knicks in the future.

    Another deal that I wouldn’t mind seeing Walsh look into would be to trade for his man, Jermaine O’Neal. Maybe a Marbury/ Curry for O’Neal/ Tinsley/ 2nd round pick.
