Anyone who thinks that Portland traded for Frye because they were in love with his game and thought he would be a star is surely delusional. We got rid of Zach Randolph, that was the only point. You guys got rid of that douche too. Lee would be a nice back up for LMA but I really do think that Portland is after someone else besides Lee. This may just be a smoke screen distraction for what Portland is really up to. Perhaps Caron Butler or Gerald Wallace to Portland? As for the knicks, I really hope they don’t destroy the team, or whatever is left of it at the moment, in hopes that some star like LeBron or Wade will come and play, turn the team around, an win championships. Goodluck to the Knicks, hopefully Portland doesn’t pull a stupid trade. Then again, we do have Kevin Pritchard…

@Antonio

I don’t think Lee has the ball handling or shooting touch required to be a SF in the NBA.

And how do you bench Chandler who has arguably been your best player this season?

Im a big Knicks fan and would lkove to get Camby back. I will even take Frye too he was starting his career off strong. Until, the trade that sent him to Portland resulted in a career downfall. He can get back on track in NY cause he is a midrange shooting big D’Antoni likes that. As, for Camby I have always said he is the most complete center and the 3rd best overall. He is super athletic and gives us a blocking presence as well as a defensive one something we need. He can also score in double-digits and has had a couple of 20/20 games this year. He also has a nice midrange game.

But, I would never trade David Lee he is a keeper to lure in a 2010 FA. Him and Chandler and maybe Duhon are our future. Harrington could be kept if he signs a veteran minimum contract his play shows he is playing for a contract and he would take it. Having Camby would lure in a big name as well.

Instead, of Lee throw Nate in the trade they make the same range in slary and Lee is by far better. Yes, Nate is athletic and can score. But, he frustrates me more than all the Knicks he has no basketball IQ and commits many boneheaded plays he tries to force the action. Anyways, this will re-unite Roy with Nate his good friend and former Washington teammate, so the green light for Camby and Frye coming to NY is still on leaving us intact w/ Lee.

Furthermore, the Knicks need to showcase Curry and pawn him off to Indiana for Daniels and Diener. The trade makes sense financially and talent wise as well. Daniels is a spark plug with great versatile talent on both sides of the court. He scores as much as Nate and gets more rebounds and plays d. Diener can flat out shoot and would take the outrageous 40 mpg load off of Duhon.

Knicks could also go through the exchanging of expiring contracts in a trade w/ Dallas in which Knicks get vet shooting extraodinare Jerry STackhouse. This former scoring champ can produce a bit off the bench for only this year. He wants out of Dallas and Cuban could accomodate this by saving cash and taking up expiring contract in Malik Rose.

Then waive Anthony Roberson and sign Pat Ewing Jr or Jannero Pargo, who is possibly retuning to the NBA on the IA list being that we have a roster space after Mobley retired.

PG. CHRIS DUHON
SG. MARQUIS DANIELS
SF. DAVID LEE
PF. AL HARRINGTON
C. MARCUS CAMBY
6. Wilson Chandler
7. Tim Thomas
8. Jared Jeffries
9. Channing Frye
10. Travis Diener
11. Jerry Stackhouse
12. Danilo Gallinari

IA:
13. Jannero Pargo/Pat Ewing Jr.
14. Jerome James – Contract finally expires

This deal sounds good for NY and NY alone…which makes sense considering the last sentence of the post.

why do the blazers want david lee anyway?
to ride their bench?

is he going to start over lamarcus aldridge? or greg oden?
NO. and if david lee is a restricted free agent at the end of the season, do they intend to match?….they better.
if not, whats the point of portland trying to get him? They gonna loose channing frye and jerryd bayless in this trade and lose david lee if they dont match an offer for him in the off season.

i dont see how this will make a lot of sense for portland right now.

Are they saying Knicks get Camby and Bayless or Camby and Channing?? Bayless would be a better look for the Knicks, but a pick or something would have to go to Clippers to make sense…

Have to agree with those who think this is a no-brainer for NY. Lee is probably at his all-time high for trade value right now and NY does not want to break the bank to sign him so he is leaving sooner or later.

If the Clippers are offering Camby for Q you have to make that deal if you are NY. I don’t know what LA is thinking. Absoltuely horrible trade for the Clips who’s only bright spot right now is Camby…Gordon maybe but I’m not sold.

I DON’t understand why the Knicks would take back Channig Frye after they duped the Blazers into thinking he was a future star.
