The Knicks, under Thomas, have re-invented themselves more times than Madonna and now in 2005 they are going for that young, hip look. Thomas is armed with two first-round picks for Tuesday's draft, plus three more next year, giving him options to makes deals. And for better or worse, Isiah never misses an opportunity to revamp the roster every few months. "This is not going to be a clean, smooth ride from here on out," Thomas said recently. "There's still a lot of pulling and tugging that we're going to have to do here. So for the next two or three years, you're still going to have to pull up your sleeves and get dirty." The grunt work continues tomorrow when the trade that will send Kurt Thomas to Phoenix for Quentin Richardson and a future first-round pick is expected to be completed. Eventually, the Knicks will release Allan Houston and save $40 million in luxury tax while removing the last piece from the team that reached the 1999 NBA Finals. Between then and now there is no predicting what Thomas will do. The Knicks own the eighth and 30th picks and are hoping to select a big man like Arizona's Channing Frye. But Thomas also has hinted that he may draft a point guard with the idea of moving Marbury to shooting guard or to another NBA city.</div> New York Daily News I don?t know, but for some reason I liked this article. Other than the fact he insists we might take Monta Ellis with our 8th, it still was an interesting read. He said we might even try to move up and try to grab Deron Williams with Marbury.
