so do we have a chance of clearing cap space with the t mac deal? or is it just swaping expirings?
 
^ there's a chance. Zagoria reports it'd either be Jefferies, Hughes or Even Curry in the deal.

who knows how that decision will be made
 
If we can get rid of Curry

[h5]Nate Robinson | Knicks [/h5]


The New York Post reports today that during the third quarter of the Knicks' Tuesday night loss to the Kings, Nate Robinson shouted at Mike D'Antoni and "uttered an f-bomb" after D'Antoni yelled at Robinson for "botching the last play with a bad decision."

Earlier this season, D'Antoni benched Robinson for 15 straight games for his attitude.

Whether it'll happen again remains to be seen: the Knicks don't play again till Tuesday against the Bulls.

[h5]Tracy McGrady | Rockets [/h5]


[h5]T-Mac's suitors[/h5]
As we chimed in on yesterday, the newest trade chatter surrounding Tracy McGrady is a three-way trade involving the Rockets, Knicks and Wizards.

According to Adrian Wojnarowksi of Yahoo! Sports, the teams are in the discussion stages of a trade that would ship Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to the Rockets, while Al Harrington would be a Wizard and McGrady a Knick.

Wojnarowski tweeted last evening that: "The three-way trade talks with Wiz, NY and Houston haven't progressed today, source says. New York and Washington waiting to hear from Houston to advance ball."

Because of the complex nature of this trade -- other contracts need to be added in for it to work -- it's far from a done deal. But on the surface, this would seem to work for everyone: the Rockets get good talent in return for T-Mac, the Wizards get some framework for the future, and the Knicks would clear more cap space if Jared Jeffries is included in this, something they're trying to do heading into this summer's free-agency season.

Though as ESPN's Chris Sheridan noted yesterday, Jeffries likely won't be included in a deal, so they may not get any lower under the salary cap in such a deal.

So what's the Knicks' motivation for such a trade, then? According to Ken Berger of CBS Sports, the Knicks are hoping McGrady can give them a late season push towards the playoffs.

And Wojnarowski adds today that if McGrady is not traded and instead bought out, "the Knicks are No. 1 on his list to sign with for the rest of the season."

So T-Mac could land in NY in more ways than one.

Houston could get under luxury-tax line in deal with Knicks
"They've come to the conclusion that Houston probably isn't going to take Jared Jeffries off their hands, but they're still willing to offer several of their own expiring contracts -- a list that includes Al Harrington, Larry Hughes and Chris Duhon. But the Rockets want rookie Jordan Hill, too, and New York is currently saying no. What the Knicks will have in their corner at the 11th hour is $3 million in cash and a willingness to take on Brian Cook, which would help Houston shave $2.62 million off its payroll to get beneath the luxury tax line, bringing them another $4-plus million when luxury tax payments are divvied up this summer among non-taxpaying teams.

T-Mac has desirable contract
"While it's unclear what McGrady has left as a player, his contract makes him a superstar at the trade deadline: A team trading for T-Mac can wipe $22 million off its 2010-11 books."

[h5]Al Harrington | Knicks [/h5]


The Knicks are actively making trade proposals around the NBA and their main target is Houston's Tracy McGrady.

Frank Isola of the New York Daily News thinks it's important the Knicks trade Al Harrington since he is part of a lot of scenarios.

Isola writes: "Harrington is aware -- and not pleased -- with the fact that Mike D'Antoni is eager to trade him. If Harrington isn't traded by next Thursday's deadline, the last six weeks of the season could result in unwanted drama inside the locker room."

New York is looking to make a deal in the next eight days, namely for a point guard and Tracy McGrady.
Walsh said if a deal is made, it's likely going to an exchange of expiring contracts.

"It's real simple strategy," Walsh said. "You get a good player who doesn't hurt you in the summer and helps you now, you consider it. Depending on who you have to give up, I think there's good players who will be available."

Morey's one of the best GMs in the league, im not surprised. obviously you try and get the best deal possible.


However, a duhon, buckets, and hughes trade for just tmac and ill pull the trigger. this team would play so much better, for sure. yeah we lose our dept, but that means more PT for douglas and hill.
no more T's for hanging on the rim, no more missed open layups, and no more drama between the coach, although somethings brewing with nate and mike.


However, we MUST get rid of jefferies if we're losing all our dept.
 
Rubio is the damn goods, everyone knows that. except BJ
laugh.gif



He has good height, and GREAT court vision. perfect points are the rarest things in the NBA, with true centers right after it.
looked like he was playing some good d from the first half of that highlight video too.
