Instead, Isiah has attempted to sell the notion the Knicks aren't bad off and only need to plug holes, perhaps realizing his chances of landing Rasheed and Kobe are longshots, particularly the latter. Remember Isiah's remark on draft night: "I don't think it will necessarily be a lot of the bigger names in the market, but there are pieces floating around that we think if we can acquire, they will make our team better." While combo guard Jamal Crawford would be a wonderful free-agent piece with the mid-level exception or a sign-and-trade with Chicago, Isiah is also considering bringing back center Michael Doleac, who hit it off with Stephon Marbury. The thinking is Isiah can get Doleac with the smaller exception ? $1.5 million. Doleac is not a sexy name, not even as sexy as free agent target Antonio McDyess. But the Knicks missed Doleac in the playoffs against the Nets. They had nobody to come off the bench and bang in perimeter jumpers that might've eased the triple teams on Marbury. </div> http://www.nypost.com/sports/knicks/23956.htm I guess I wouldn't mind be back in a Knicks jersey, as long if he dosen't take long-range jumpers that he can't make!!
This has been squashed the Miami Heat have signed him to a four year deal i could see why he would go there to with the Shaq trade being finalized
