I completely agree that the thought should for two years down the road, and perhaps even for next season. depending on what we see the rest of the year.
update at 8:15 PST No talk about Portland. All about Eastern Teams: Cle, Wash, NY, NJ. A tiny bit on Clips and Rockets. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=TradeTalkRoundup-090218 the one interesting line I gathered from it... Granted it says they won't trade butler, but you always have to wonder if he is truly untouchable.
I will stay through the deadline but if we don't make a trade I'm not sticking around for everyone's melt down especially Mixum's.
POSTED: Feb. 19 -- 1:17 p.m. ET Marc Stein: Word is coming in that the Knicks are closing in on some new players. It is not immediately clear if this would be two separate trades or a three-way exchange, but I'm hearing that Oklahoma City's Chris Wilcox -- who went back to the Thunder on Wednesday night when the Tyson Chandler trade was rescinded -- and Chicago's Larry Hughes are New York-bound. To complete the transaction(s), Oklahoma City would get Malik Rose and Chicago would receive Tim Thomas, Jerome James and Anthony Roberson. Trying to nail it all down for you.
Call me crazy, but I like the mccants/martin backcourt Sacremento could throw out there. Both can penetrate and draw fouls very well.
POSTED: Feb. 19 -- 2:25 p.m. ET Carter Carter Chad Ford: Spies in New Jersey say it looks like Vince Carter will finish the season as a Net. With just 45 minutes to go before the trade deadline, trade talks have stalled with Carter. It's not impossible that things heat up right toward the end. It's happened before. But right now the odds are strongly in favor of Carter remaining in New Jersey unless their owner, Bruce Ratner, comes back to management and tells them to dump him at any cost. dam!
