Knicks want Sergio

I was wondering when someone was going to finally mention this. Lee wouldn't want to come here to be LMA's backup for 15 mpg. I know it wouldn't really be his choice, but I don't see the point of trading for someone who likely wouldn't re-sign after the season.

 

Possibly more cap space. I know the list of FA this year isnt great, but if you are under the cap the salaries do not need to match when you make a trade.

 

My first thought was of a 3 way deal between Portland, Chicago, and NY, though your trades are too good to be true for Portland

it's a bit steep for the Blazers though

maybe this is better

I would do this too, easily.

 

Then who is going hang with Rudy?

 

Rudy prefers his privacy.

 

Put me in coach. I'll be his buddy. Put my 5 years of spanish I have managed to forget to good use.

 

Unless you're a knicks fan, this rumor has no legs.

NY has nothing KP would want for free, never mind trade away his future starting PG.

 

No one is suggesting trading Bayless.

 

I certainly wasn't, as you are well aware, but I still believe that is why we got him in the first place.

KP didn't get his guy and Bayless seemed at the time to be the most easily tradeable pick.

He most certainly was not drafted because KP saw him as his future PG to lead this team.

 

I don't like this trade for the Knicks. For one, I'm not too impressed with Sergio. He has potential, but his numbers are looking lackluster: 4 points, 4 assists, 37% from the field, 33% from downtown. He also won't log too many minutes behind Duhon, who is averaging 40 MPG. He will also be playing behind Nate Robinson who has been impressive this season. Furthermore, we are extremely undersized as it is and David Lee is our starting center. By trading Lee we will be giving up a lot of size inside. In order for this trade to work, the Blazers would have to throw in at least a first rounder for us to consider the move.

Of course, we would also welcome my boy Bayless in the deal

 

Sergio straight up for Lee doesn't make sense for either team. The Knicks give up the better player, and the Blazers would only be renting Lee to be a backup PF for half a season.

 

Sure he was. He's ideally suited to complement Roy, with the ability to defend point guards well, shoot from the perimeter, drive and dish and otherwise let Roy be the decision-maker.

I think Pritchard definitely has Bayless in mind as the long-term solution at guard alongside Roy.

 

And I don't.

Time will tell.

 

Great trade for the Blazers if for Lee.
