PeterNorth09 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Isiah seems to be aggressively pursuing Rashard Lewis, and for good reason, the guy can play. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/basketball/317759_campbok30.html?source=mypi Apparently the deal could end up being a sign and trade involving Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson or Renaldo Balkman and this year's draft pick. There is also rumors that the Knicks are interested in Ron Artest, who the Kings are shopping. I would love to see either one of these guys on the Knicks next year and adding either of them with the other young players (Curry, Frye, Lee) developing would make this a playoff team. Just one thing of caution, DO NOT TRADE CHANNING FRYE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I think bringing in a guy like Rasheed Wallace would be better, this is a guy who has won championchips before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasheed Wallace is five years older. Well past his prime. Unless you think he'd be a better thug mentor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashard Lewis and Ron Artest never been on a winning team, why not take someone who's experienced enough and give him a chance ? He's also not going to ask for too much money if he's past his prime.

I tend to think that Isiah isn't going to want to work with a strong willed veteran big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 F Channing Frye. I would trade him for something. The one player you do not trade is David Lee. Why this team can't simply just release Francis and go with: PG - Marbury SG - Crawford SF - Lee PF - Frye C - Curry is beyond me. Lil' Nate, Q-Rich & a few big boys off the bench.

PeterNorth09 Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 If the Knicks trade Channing Frye he will become an all-star. If he's such a stiff then why has every team that has discussed a trade with the Knicks for the past two years wanted this guy? Keep Frye and let him develop. Eddy Curry was nothing his first few years in the league. I don't care if Artest is a thug. If anything the Knicks need a tough guy who won't back down from anyone and play some defense, two of Artest's strong points. As for the comments about Artest teams never winning anything, well if you mean championships then yes your right, but Artest did go to the playoffs several different times with the Pacers. Rashard Lewis went to the playoffs with the Sonics and it wasn't like he's ever played on a good team anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 As far as I'm concerned nobody on the Knicks should be untouchable. They aren't exactly carrying guys that can be the cornerstone of a franchise. Thomas will probably just do a deal to do a deal. Like he usually does.

Eighth seed in the east is a huge accomplishment. Those extra 2 games while they are swept in the first round will electrify MSG. Just like they did against the Nets a few years ago. Yipee!

L.I.MikeBleedsGreen Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Get. Sheed. Now.agree,He is the best Big man in the game next too Tim D. but Tim does not stretch the D like Sheed with his 3 point shooting.And with an attitude like Sheed's ,That's something the Knicks need in the middle of the Paint.

#27TheDominator Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Thats better than winning 35 games... At least they would be semi watchable with sheed. Sorry. I worked at MSG for over ten years. I left April '06 and the Knicks had been a joke for a couple of years already. It's tough to take the 8 seed seriously after years of deep playoff runs, but I could see how it would be a huge improvement over the current situation if I were forced to watch on a daily basis. Knicks should have hired Rod Thorn when they had the chance. I believe he was waiting for that job and I have faith in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmart28Coles87 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I would love either Artest or Lewis but I wouldn't want to trade someone like Balkman. He's gonna be a great 6th man for us for years to come. I would love to get Sheed too. I remember Isiah pursued him heavily 3 years ago when he came here.
