Yeah, Yahoo speculation I suppose. HOWEVER http://www.hoopsnotes.com/teams/newyork/knicks-are-interested-in-przybilla-gasol/ http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b.../01/26/2011-01-26_knicks_seeking_big_man.html
He plays spot minutes at the 4. But, he's a 3. When NYK can get away with it they play Mozgov or Turiaf at the 5 and Amare at the 4.
Przybilla's contribution never depended upon his physical talent, so I don't know why we're so eager to dump him. He'll be as effective on a bum leg. All he ever did was rebound and provoke fights. I don't know whether he still has the second talent, to make opponents want to kill him, but as for the first talent, since returning, he's averaged 1 rebound every 3 minutes, which is elite rebounding. If he practices beating up assistant coaches, he'll be back to 100%.
"Donnie is going to err on the side of taking his time," another GM told the paper. "He's going to wait for the right deal to come along." In other words, we aren't doing a darn thing until we figure out what is going on with Carmello.
Well there's no way they're getting Marc Gasol, so they can forget about that. I would think moving Joel for the right pieces would be good though. The guy just really doesn't have much left. With that said, I don't know how NY would match Joel's $7 million contract without moving a lot of pieces? http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=4omvas9 Joel for Randolph and Turiaf works... but that might be too much for them. I don't know.
I don't rep anyone (so they don't rep me), but if I did, I'd rep you. Think of it as a moral victory. You didn't get a present, but it's the thought that counts.
