Larry Brown's head would explode, I think.
If New York pulls off both of these trades, their lineup could look like this:
1-Francis >>> N Robinson
2-Marbury >>> Q Richardson >>> Qyntel Woods
3-J Rose >>> D Lee >>> T Ariza
4-Garnett >>> D Lee >>> J Butler
5-Curry >>> James >>> J Butler
That starting 5 could pretty damn good........if there wasn't so many issues/ego's...especailly w/ Starbury and Francis. And How would LB coach all of these characters?
Can't do it. Penny's the bait for the Knicks.
Rare priviledge to see an NBA team get raped.
he'll love itThat would be a good idea!
I would love to see wolves009's reaction to that one.
i think he won't mind changing his loggin name to :knicks009 from wolves009.
Taylor + Crawford for Francis works.

Penny's contract is ending. Those other ty ones aren't and no one wants to take on Zeke's mistakes.
Like the Wolves want to load up another Larry Brown team.
I believe Crawford/Taylor was floated in Florida Today. Of course, they might deal with Denver, but that package might be more attractive than 3 more years of Franchise.
Is Penny Hardaway still alive?
I remember him as being the next Jordan or Kobe...then, he just like...fell off the earth.

The current proposal, according to the person, would send guard Jamal Crawford, forward Maurice Taylor and possibly the swingman Trevor Ariza to Orlando. The Knicks would obtain Francis and forward Pat Garrity.
Penny Hardaway's expiring contract, which the Knicks have sought to use in a number of potential deals, would not be included in the Francis trade.
Actually, wasn't Kobe the next Penny? Penny was good in what, 94-95-96? And Kobe broke into the league in 97, right?
What's Minnesota trying to do? Top how bad they got raped for trying to give Joe Smith an under-the-table deal?
Holy God...the league IS biased towards the Knicks.
Hey, I'm old. What happened a decade ago seems like yesterday. What happened yesterday...I don't remember at all
This would be a first for Isiah. He would actually get the better of the deal, what are the odds that he'll screw it up?
Every season one-third of the NBA media coverage is about how the Knicks are going to land every star player under the sun for nothing. The other two-thirds are about what Kobe just said about Shaq and vice versa.
Yup - with KG they are the contenders
No way the TWolves trade KG for cap space, not going to happen.
Perhaps not cap space, but fiscal sanity. He's at $18 mil per this season and that's going up by a couple of mil next season and the two after that. That's a rather large amount for one player, especially when that player isn't exactly a guarantee for making the postseason, as last season and this one attest.
Knicks have two first round picks in this upcoming draft, San Antonio's (Nazr trade) and Denver's first round via Toronto (Antonio Davs / Jalen Rose trade). Isiah could use either or both in a trade. Neither is restricted from being dealt.
I will say that the Wolves deserve to lose picks if they give Garnett up for next to nothing.
Minnesota Home Attendance
Games 27
Total 432,104 Rank 20
Average 16,003 Rank 25
Percentage 86.7 Rank 20
KG isn't helping the organization as a ticket seller, and the franchise is not winning with him as their guy. At $18 Mil, it's not unthinkable that they would move him. I just wonder how much lower the attendance will go.
for once. isiah will make a good deal if ever that pushes thru./
Do picks have monetary value to balance out trades?
Example:
Player A $5 Mil -FOR- Player B $3.5 Mil + 1st Rd Pick $1 Mil?
