The Knicks were purportedly interested in (Theo) Ratliff, while Travis Outlaw may or may not wind up in New Jersey."

Travis, to me, is just a very unpolished version of Hakim Warrick, and Hakim is unpolished himself. He has amazing athleticism, but he makes a lot boneheaded plays. In 15 minutes he's averaging almost 2 fouls. That's incredible. He'd be exciting on the break but we need someone who is good now.
