    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">According to a source close to Atkins as well as a team source, the Wizards have discussed a trade that would send Atkins and fourth-year forward Jared Jeffries to the New York Knicks in exchange for swingman Quentin Richardson. Atkins played under Knicks Coach Larry Brown in Detroit and, according to several reports, the Knicks are in the market for a defensive-minded small forward.</div>

    Doesn't make much sense to me, the Wizards are already struggling to find shots for Arenas, Jamison and Butler, so adding another 'swing' player who doesn't play defense won't work. I read the Wizards are trying to find a defensive player to replace Hughes. So far Antonio Daniels has not met expectations and they are entertaining offers for him.

    I don't think it makes sense for the Knicks or the Wizards. Atkins can score, but he's more of a one-dimmensional three-point shooter. We can use a good shooter, but in return we would sacrifice a lot of defense. From what I have seen, Atkins is a terrible defender and being 5-11 doesn't help him. Jeffries is a good defender and is very athletic, but I don’t think he’s exactly what we’re looking for. I think this team needs a small forward who can light it up from outside and play good defense. Jeffries isn’t that, and despite Q’s production this season, I think we can get more value for him. The only way I would accept this trade is if the Wizards give us a first rounder.
