Five teams that need to start wheelin' and dealin'By Chad Ford ESPN Insider
New York Knicks
No surprise here. From what we hear, Isiah Thomas is thinking about trading the whole roster -- then trading the guys he just traded for all over again.
Just kidding. But the Knicks are terrible -- no joke. Larry Brown has been an awful fit. The team is going nowhere. They won't have cap room until who knows when. The Bulls have their picks the next two years. What's a GM with a $120 million payroll to do?
Isiah has two options. One is to try to use the expiring contract of Penny Hardaway along with one of his rookies, like Nate Robinson or David Lee, in an attempt to add a legit star to the roster.
Option No. 1:
New York sends Hardaway, Jamal Crawford, Robinson and Trevor Ariza to Seattle.
Seattle sends Ray Allen, Danny Fortson and Vitaly Potapenko to New York.

don't both of these guys suck? What's pairing them up going to do?
no, niether of them "suck" they are both just selfish shoot first players more concerned with stats than wins. atleast crawford is, dono about jaric since he doesn't speak english nobody knows what the fuck is goin on in his head. hes just a big guard all around good at the basics doesn't do anything special. chemistry is a wierd thing u never know whats gona work and whats not gona work. sumtimes all it takes is one guy to turn the fortunes of an entire team. it can go the other way too though, see: ron artest.
