Scott Layden made another inquiry about Shareef Abdur-Rahim during the weekend, but nothing seems promising, even though salaries for Latrell Sprewell and the Hawks forward are a match. "I don't think they have anything to offer Atlanta but Spree, and the Hawks don't want that," said one Eastern general manager familiar with Atlanta's business. "I don't think the Knicks will be able to trade Spree at this point. They'll keep trying, but if they want a young All-Star in return, I don't think they'll get it." As desperate as Pete Babcock is to make a move, the Hawks GM flatly declared that Sprewell would never wear a Hawks jersey during the Boston Summer League, and trashed his character by comparing him to -- of all people -- J.R. Rider: "We went against our standards to a degree with Rider a few years ago," Babcock said then. "We rolled the dice and we lost big time on it. We would have to think very hard about bending again." http://www.nj.com/knicks/ledger/index.ssf?...12045848090.xml
Who aren't the Knicks going for? They are really setting themselves up to be screwed on a trade by being so openly desperate to get rid of Spree.
