    Kurt Thomas returned to New York late Sunday to have the cast removed from his surgically repaired right hand. He's now wondering if his visit to the doctor's office will represent his last official act as a member of the Knicks.
    The trade rumors that have shadowed Thomas throughout his six seasons with the Knicks are hotter than ever. One scenario would have Thomas heading to Cleveland for center Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

    A more complicated deal would have Thomas as part of a four-team trade that would center around Vince Carter moving from Toronto to Dallas.

    The Knicks' side of the deal would include multiple players, with Thomas ending up in Dallas or Golden State and Shandon Anderson going to Toronto. The Knicks would be getting Antoine Walker from Dallas and Erick Dampier from Golden State.

    "You hear a lot of rumors so maybe something is going to happen," Thomas said yesterday. "I have no idea if I'm going to be here. I just know that when training camp starts, wherever I am, I'm going to be in great shape."

    Knicks president Isiah Thomas is working on several deals, all of which seem to include trading away veteran players who either did not like working for Thomas or playing with Stephon Marbury or both. Those players include Kurt Thomas, Anderson, Dikembe Mutombo and Othella Harrington.

    Toronto and Dallas are recruiting several teams in an effort to deal Carter to the Mavs. The Knicks can only get involved if the trade for Chicago's Jamal Crawford falls through, which is entirely possible.

    The Knicks are offering a package of Anderson, Harrington, Frank Williams, Cezary Trybanski and Moochie Norris for Crawford, Eddie Robinson and Jerome Williams.

    Chicago is insisting on Dikembe Mutombo instead of Norris and the stalemate is threatening to kill the deal. The Knicks may attempt to sign Crawford to an offer sheet but there are several factors working against them. Crawford is a restricted free agent and the Bulls have the right to match any offer.

    The Knicks are over the salary cap, so the maximum they can offer Crawford is $40 million over six years. In the proposed sign-and-trade deal involving the Knicks and Bulls, Crawford would receive $60 million over six years. In other words, Crawford essentially would be agreeing to a $20 million pay cut.

    I know, exactly what I thought. Their must be more to it in order for that trade to happen. It's all rumours and speculation at the moment.

    I hope this deal does go down, but I doubt it would. Dallas needs to change up now that nash is gone. Carter would send another All-star to the west. Shandon Anderson isn't that bad of a player, but obviously more players would go to Toronto, i read another article forgot where it was just a three-way trade between NY, Toronto, and Mavs. NY gets Walker, Mavs get Carter, Toronto gets Thomas, Anderson, Mutumbo or something like that.

    Spawn, FF7 was one the greatest games ever and FF Tactics. Have you heard about Final Fantasy Advent Children, the movie?

    I also posted this in the Raptors forum:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">
    RAPTORS GENERAL manager Rob Babcock shot down a report suggesting Vince Carter could be on the move in a four-team deal. "There is no truth to it at all," Babcock said yesterday. "We've been getting inquiries about Vince and we're always discussing trades, but there is nothing really active going on. He is a crucial, and very valuable player, on this team and we are not actively trying to trade Vince." </div>

    okay to get back on topic...

    FF Advent Children is going to be released early 2005, and it's two years after FF7's ending, it's going to be a DVD.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One workable exchange includes Walker coming to New York, Vince Carter and Othella Harrington going to Dallas, and Kurt Thomas, Dikembe Mutombo and Josh Howard landing in Toronto.</div> taken from http://www.nj.com/knicks/ledger/index.ssf?...77827230890.xml

    That deal i think is pretty fair, Othella Harrington wants out of NY and Dallas shake up their lineup adding Carter. Kurt Thomas is a solid performer and Mutumbo's contract is ending after this year, Josh Howard is a great hustler and very talented. Walker..I guess he can help the Knicks..

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">the Knicks had offered Dikembe Mutombo or Kurt Thomas, Allan Houston, $3-million, and a first-round draft pick for [Raptors point guard] Alvin Williams and Vince."</div> http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/Articl...orts/Basketball

    This ends up with the Knicks getting rid of the contract of Houstan, I don't see the Raps accepting this deal at all.

    This rumor was shot down. Babcock said it's "untrue".
