If I’m the lakers I’m throwing Gasol and odom at the cavs for lebron next year. Then the Lakers get kobe, Leborn and bynam for a serious championship window. I think this would be the best outcome for the cavs too, at least they get something in return !!!

fallinup you are sooooo wrong…I was thinking the same thing.
Also why is everyone acting as if Zach’s not the Knicks best player. He’s now proving he can play in any kind of system and if the Knicks keep winning he’ll be the closest thing to an allstar they have. 30 points one night 3 points the next does not an allstar make Mr Crawford.

This would be an amazing trade for the New Knicks efforts to free up cap space for 2010. Right now Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph have contracts that run through 2010/11 season with Z-Bo at $17,333,333 + Jamal at $10,080,000 totaling $27,413,333. With this trade they would be free of all that money and the incoming contracts of Al Harrington, Cat and Tim Thomas’s which all expire by 2009/10. Assuming they pick up Wilson Chandler and Danilo’s team options and Jared Jeffries and Eddy Curry pick up their own player options (they got to with the money they owed) they’ll go from having $51,008,637 in player contracts on the books down to $23,595,304 for the 2010 free agent class. That’s big time, with that they can afford not only King James but some other good talent to support him with. David Lee and Nate Robinson would be the only Knicks free agents they would want to keep in 2009-2010.

The Clips would have to be getting Crawford in the deal. They’re not throwing Cuttino in there without getting a guard back.

This is probably a good move for all three teams:

1. Clips get a true scoring 2 guard to go with Baron and their solid front line, dump the waste of space Thomas.
2. GS gets what they desparately need, a post scorer.
3. Knicks get 3 gunners in Al, Cuttino, and Thomas. They get rid of Zach’s big contract and can now bring Fat Eddy in to play that position. They also get a faster squad more capable of playing D-Antoni’s system. Oh yeah, and they’re likely to get a higher draft pick next year!

I heard it is a straight up deal – Knicks get Harrington, Warriors get Malik Rose

I know the Knicks are freeing up cap space for a run at Lebron but would Lebron really consider going to the Knicks if they have no talent around him? Then he would be back in the same situation he was in Cleveland when he had no support. The Knicks very well could be the worst team in the League by the time 2010 rolls around. So Lebron signing with the Knicks in 2010 with it’s current roster (after this trade) is like Lebron signing with the Thunder. It just doesn’t make sense if he wants to win.

If the Clippers end up getting Zach then they are loaded in the front court. That’s three guys who can post double-doubles in games on any given night. However, I think the Warriors could use Zach more than the Clips. I know he’s a cancer and might not get along with Nellie but they need an offensive inside weapon to pair with Biedrins.

maan how serious is the knicks bid for bron? wouldnt jigga jayz be pulling for him to come to the nets? btw i vaguely remember they aren’t moving to brooklyn anymore? is this true? i guess that would leave the bigger market of ny for bron.

with all these shakes and quakes by knicks management i really hope they are laying the foundations for a long term plan to succeed as a ball club.
