Knicks · Turiaf to Wizards... for nothing! (page 1)

It looks like we just need to move him at all costs.

quote:

Marc Berman hath twat:

According to source, #Knicks finalizing trade for Ronny Turiaf to Wizards tnt which will create enough cap space to make Chandler official.

And then adds:

It does not appear the Knicks would receive anything in return and will likely have to give the Wizards cash to pay for part of his pact.

end quote.

Another article mentioned we may get a trade exception back. I think they are under the cap, so we should and that could be helpful...

Makes sense. No team would give him $ 4 mil as an FA. Unless we were taking back a comparably overpaid player (which we can't), we shouldn't expect anything in return and should be compensating the other team.

Ok, if we aren't getting a 2nd round pick for him, at least we are getting a trade exception, which right now could be extremely important to build strength at PG, SG or SF (Shawne Williams).
