Kenny Thomas to Knicks Rumor

[J-WILL55]

marc stein just came on espn and said it was highly likely that nate and jeffries will be coming to sac for KT

MAN.......DO IT!!!! I've always liked Robinson....We'll be pertty deep now.

 

[SacKings384]

Yeah it looks like we're getting Nate... Interesting move... We don't save any money, so I'm not sure where they are going with this... Unless they really like Nate.

 

[kingsnation]

Nice.

PG of the future??

PG of the future??

How can a 5'9" point guard (who's really a shooting guard) be your point guard of the future? I like him as a sparkplug off the bench, but I don't see how he'd fit in.

 

[KiNgMyC]

It was reported as a potential trade on espn, nothing official.

 

[piksi]

don't play games whith this.

If it is a joke - it is a bad one

Amick:
O'Bryant is going to Toronto, and I'm told by the source close to Robinson that the deal with the Knicks is a no-go. I'll either have one last sign-off post or come with late news, so don't go away just yet.

Is nate a king or not?

 

[J-WILL55]

Just heard on ESPN2!!

Nate and Jeffries for K9!

No, you didn't hear it. You heard it could potentially happen still within the hour.

If this turns out to be false I will recommend that you are banned from this site.

To give him credit, yes it is just a rumor, but Mark Stein did break in during the middle of other trade analysis to report it, which gave it some validity. Although, Stein did say it was just rumored and not a sure thing.

<sarcasm>I'd hate for this trade to happen. I really like Kenny Thomas. </sarcasm>

Future 6th Man, BJax type..

 

[DoDiGaG0]

Nate would bring a lot of heart and energy to the team, something we have been severely lacking!

 

[nbrans]

Future 6th Man, BJax type..

But we have our 6th Man point guard: Beno Udrih. Unless we're going to move Beno or give him the Kenny Thomas treatment, one of Nate and Beno is going to have to start, and neither guy is really a quality starting PG for a good team.

 

[NoBonus]

Why the Kings wouldn't toss in a second round draft pick in this deal to get it done is beyond me.

 

[Denio]

Maybe....

[jon e]

gosh darnit

 

[KingGiant49erFan]

the deal will not happen stein just updated.

 

[J-WILL55]

Just Got Shot Down Completely On Espn2........damn!

 

[Bricklayer]

So much for that.

0-2 on the two little trades that could have turned this trade deadline into something actually positive for us. Back to just the big stinker with Chicago, and the decent one with Minny.

 

[bench_blob]

No Go

 

[J-WILL55]

Didn't happen. Knicks backed out at the last second per ESPN2.


Damn.

 

[AriesMar27]

oh well....

 

[Hail the Crown]

Marc Stein just reported the deal isn't going down

latest news

http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/57422/20090219/nate_and_jeffries_to_sacramento/

Marc Stein is reporting that the Knicks may, in fact, have agreed to trade Nate Robinson and Jared Jeffries to the Kings for Kenny Thomas. The move would save the Knicks about $7M per year which salary slot could be applied to retain David Lee.
We are awaiting confirmation.

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm OK with adding Nocioni to save a little short term money but adding Jeffries and Nocioni would be crippling long term, and I'd hate to see this team extend Nate and use up whatever cap space we have both short and long term.

 

[kingsnation]

But we have our 6th Man point guard: Beno Udrih. Unless we're going to move Beno or give him the Kenny Thomas treatment, one of Nate and Beno is going to have to start, and neither guy is really a quality starting PG for a good team.

Beno isn't a quality starter for a bad team either..

 

[Gary]

I wouldn't do it.. Not for Jeffries too.

 

[nbrans]

I like Nate, you like Nate, we all like Nate, but I honestly don't think it would have been worth it. We'd have still had to deal with him in the offseason, and we need to focus on getting a starting point guard to send Beno to the bench rather than finding a sparkplug.
