So Houston takes back 9M in salary for next year.
ChrisMannixSI The New York Knicks are finalizing a deal that would send Jordan Hill, Larry Hughes and Jared Jeffries to Houston for Tracy McGrady (cont)
ChrisMannixSI The deal includes swapping the Knicks-Rockets first round picks and New York sending their 2012 first rounder to Houston.
ChrisMannixSI The only remaining issue is the protection on the draft picks. More on SI.com soon.

What a stupid trade. They really think they are getting LeBron?
Dang that sounds like a good deal for the Rockets (depending on how protected the picks are).
Not sure what year they're swapping picks since Utah owns NY's pick this year.
no protection for the pick is needed, since the knickers are expected on flourishing watch through this decade, or at least through the first half of this decade with the Lebron in prime version.
Ah. Got it. NY is in REALLY deep if they don't strike gold in free agency this summer.
Worst case scenario for Knicks: Amare gets traded to Cleveland, both LeBron and Amare resign
Wade stays in Miami, Bosh goes to Miami
Joe Johnson stays in Atlanta
Hope it goes through. McGrady deal had possibility of screwing up trade for spurs to get Thomas
Knicks likely land Thomas for Harrington.
Nothing final yet.
There's a lot of FAs next year. If Lebron doesn't work they could try JJ + Bosh/Amare.
I hope that happens. It would be epic if NY puts all their eggs in one basket and that basket breaks
It'll get done either tonight or tomorrow, they are working to get that 2012 pick unprotected, but this deal will go down regardless, protected or not
You know as well as I do that only LeBron is worth putting all the eggs in one basket and trading future pick after future pick.
Props to H-town if the 2012 pick is unprotected. This is a potential monumental disaster for NY. Houston would be in pretty darn good shape if NY's plan doesn't work. Hopefully Adelman knows how to use Jordan Hill.
maybe not but bosh and joe johnson doesnt sound so bad?
So says some guy from SI. You have no basis for saying that, whether it be true or not. Crazier things have happened around the trade deadline and there's a reason this thread was locked at Clutchfans.
That does not match up at all.
They'll have their own or Houston's in 2011. The option is to switch (determined by Houston). Knicks will get the worst of the two team's picks.
He wasn't the first to report that this deal was being discussed, Adrian wor whatever his last name is first broke the story of the specifics of a deal. Marc Stein said it was narrowed down to the Bulls and the Knicks. Those picks are what the Rockets want
And, Houston might have their own lottery pick this year.
And a second deal is possible
Likely one, if not both picks will be protected. Hopefully the swap pic next year will be unprotected. Sad to see Dorsey go, but I will laugh my ass if Morey uses all these new assets in a sign and trade for a big name player, leaving NY wondering wtf just happened.
