Lamond Murray (Raptors), Derek Anderson (Blazers), Tariq Abdul Wahad (Mavericks) are available but they aren't a definite upgrade over the speedy Anderson.</div> </div> http://www.oregonlive.com/weblogs/blazersblog/
Thomas wants Van Horn and Shandon Anderson gone, he wants to make the team more tough, like they were early-mid 90's.
Yeah Patterson would work well with NY, although Portland's probably not too excited to get Anderson, who is an average player at best...NY will have to work harder if they want patterson...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">Thomas wants Van Horn and Shandon Anderson gone, he wants to make the team more tough, like they were early-mid 90's.</div> Yeah Thomas is dieing for Van Horn to go by-bye but Van Horn has proven himself as a Knick. Yeah he has some injury from time to time, but from a mental aspect he has proven his haters wrong. He has handle the New York fans & media extremely well.Thomas better be very smart when Trading Van Horn because he has proven himself to be a very good 3rd option for the Knicks. And Shannon Anderson needs to be gone his defense isnt worth his salary.
Why doesnt Zeke get Darius Miles and Patterson in a deal, or Miles and Anderson for Shandon Anderson and someone thats not activated for the Knicks? Didnt he want Darius Miles to play with the knicks? It would be a good deal for Knicks if they got derek anderson or ruben patterson.
