February 11, 2003 -- Latrell Sprewell should have extra motivation tomorrow when the Warriors visit the Garden to kick off the post-All-Star break schedule. Sprewell still takes great pleasure in beating Golden State, where the same management team is in place that sought to ban him from the league. That's not all. Tomorrow night could be his last game at the Garden in a Knick uniform. The Knicks open their 11-day, six-game Western trip Friday in Phoenix. The Knicks will be in Oakland next week for the Feb. 20 trade deadline. When Don Chaney told The Post last week that he felt Sprewell is having his best all-around season because he's been a better leader, you can take it at face value. Or you can take it at trade value, as in trying to increase his trade value. Sprewell has increased his market value the past six weeks. Teams recognize the Knicks have been a .500 team since he returned to the lineup and he's played extremely unselfishly, been on time and has regained his shot since January, his scoring average back up to 17.8.
