You are Isiah Thomas for a week. Make some trades, sign or release some players, do what you have to do in order to help the Knicks get back on track. Remember you only have a week, so don't overdue it.Here's an Idea, I don't know if this is realistic or not:Indiana/New York TradeKnicks Trade Steve Francis, Nate Robinson, Channing FryePacers Trade Jermaine O'neal, Sarunas JasikevicusWhy Knicks? They finally get Francis off their hands, and they get a great low post scorer. They do lose a lot of youth, but they gain an All-Star and an unselfish European.Knicks LineupG Stephon Marbury / Sarunas JasikevicusSG Jamal Crawford / Mardy CollinsSF Quentin Richardson / Jared Jefferies / David LeePF Jermaine O'neal / Renaldo Balkman / Malik RoseC Eddy Curry / Jerome JamesWhy Pacers? Jermaine is on the block, so this gets him of their hands. They get a pair of guards to make up for injuries to Jamaal Tinsley and others. They get Channing Frye, a youthful big man who can play center.Pacers LineupG Stephon Marbury / Jamaal Tinsley / Darrell ArmstrongSG Stephen Jackson / Nate RobinsonSF Danny Granger / Marquis Daniels / Rawle MarshallPF Al Harrington / Jeff FosterC Channing Frye / David HarrisonNext, I would hire Rick Adleman as my head coach. Isiah would get off the hook coaching, and Rick could kick start this franchise, and possibly help it to pass the Nets, now that they have a reliable inside scorer. This is a little unrealistic. Post your Ideas.
Good thread.I would trade Francis,2nd round pick for Eddie JonesMEM:Francis/Stoudamire/AktinsMiller/Jones/FrancisGay/Cardinal/WarrickGasol/Warrick/CardinalSwift/Tsakalidis/GasolNYK:Marbury/Nate/CrawfordCrawford/Jones/JeffriesQ-Rich/Jeffries/BalkmanFrye/Lee/RoseCurry/Cato/FryeWhy New York? We pick up a nice expiring and a vetteran. Nate and Crawford both get more minutes. Jones is a unselfish player.Why Memphis? They get a scorer that can put up 16+ game and can fill when Stoudamire is injured. Next sign Aldeman to coach this uptempo team
Can't really sign any free agents, due to the fact that the Knicks have tons of quality players from top to bottom. That would be a sweet trade though.
SunnyD, that trades a ripoff for the Pacers. A midget bench player and a soft post player for one of the best post players in the game. Are you kidding me?
