i dont think dumping francis' contract is really going to justify the knicks giving up that much. you think isiah cares about money? he wants to win so he doesn't get fired. he's not going to pull off moves that will bring down his talent level.
because its such a bad trade that he hopes people will get distracted by all the pretty lights on espn.com and forget about his post
so, we get Francis who is doing worse than Bibby this year and costs more. we have Nate Robinson whose main talent is that he's really little but he can dunk well. i remember watching him do this fancy off the backboard pass to himself for the dunk on a fast break. he missed... i'd take Wright but he'd be just another okay bench player that might take away PT from one of our young guys. he is cheap though. but we'd get Frye, who i just love for some reason
but we'd have to give up Mike, which i'm not completely against, and Ron
everyone wanted Ron traded around Dec-Jan. then got his ego in check and started playing like Ron Artest. so Ron is off limits along with K-Mart
