Trade Forum

Because we here at TKB are men of the people, I received an email from Gym Rat Barnaby who requested that I create a post for possible trade thoughts.
I agree, and I’ll start. We know that Rubio is still in play, Kidd or no Kidd, Nash or no Nash (the latter seems to be destined [...]

Is Now the Time to Go Get Amare?

We are all hearing the rumors about Amare.  In recent days, there have been deals, but if Amare is dealt, I would have to believe that he would be the highest profile player to be moved.  Vescey had a rumor of McGrady, Aaron Brooks, and Carl Landry going to the Suns for Barbosa and Amare.  [...]

Dealing Wilson? A Major Gamble

I am not a gambler, but I know a big risk when I see one. With rumors swirling around that the Knicks might be willing to offer Wilson Chandler for the Wizards’ #5 overall selection, I figured that I would chime in before anything comes to a head. The Knicks have to acquire young [...]

Curry: Henderson Better than I thought

Interesting stuff from Stephen Curry who was a guest on The Dan Patrick Show.
“…Curry said he knows less now because there’s a lot more trade talk going on. Curry says he’s getting a lot of information, but he’s not sure what it all means.
“You don’t know who to believe when you hear stuff from GMs,” [...]

Can Mehmet Okur Be a Fit?

With the rumbling surrounding a Jazz shakeup this off-season, I have to wonder if C Mehmet Okur would fit on this team.  His outstanding 3 point shooting attracts me the most.  But he is not a terrible rebounder either, averaging close to 8 rpg.  The Knicks can use a shot-blocking center, but Okur would fit [...]

Where Does Harrington Fit?

With all of the trade chatter on this site about Lee, Chandler, and others, I began to think about our most valuable trade chips.  Al Harrington, a Golden State cast-away, has to be considered a valuable trade chip.  While his play summarized the type of season that the Knicks had, Harrington put forth a pretty [...]

Marion a One-Year Rental?

Brandon Hoffman, who does a bang-up job with REALGM’s ballerblogger, speculates that the Knicks may consider bringing in Shawn Marion for a one-year rental.
“…Marion will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Marion’s desire to play for a winner will be put to the test. Few teams will have the cap space or financial wherewithal [...]

Al Passes 10,000

Via Knicks.com
“…Al Harrington may not be the league’s leading scorer, he’s never been an All-Star and an MVP award won’t end up in his trophy case this summer. But the Knicks’ top offensive weapon showed once again just how good of a scorer he is. Harrington surpassed 10,000 career points during Sunday’s loss to [...]

Long Term Al?

According to Alan Hahn, who asked Al Harrington his thoughts of being here past 2010, the Knicks forward said it’s already being discussed, and he expects to be here.
“… Al Harrington said he has reason to believe that, despite his expiring contract next season, he will remain a Knick beyond 2010. “I know that Donnie [...]

Star Treatment

Just an add on to that last Harrington post.
I feel Al wants star treatment, in fact, Al DEMANDS star treatment and I think that’s his problem. He’s frustrated the team is losing and he’s not a star in the eyes of the officials.
Think back to the post game interview Shaq had after the Suns [...]
