I recently heard AMundson for Brandon Rush rumors. Fields transitional players is better fit for Warriors at backup SF than Rush. Rush better fit NY as he will spread the offense. Collison is huge upgrade at starting PG than Douglas. Douglas can play with in backcourt together with Hill. Better move for all parties involved.
Warriors get Balkman Fields
Pacers get Douglas Amundson
Knicks get Collison Rush
Knicks should sign
league vet minimium Bogan (Collison & Bogan are playoff tested a much better backcourt than Fields & Douglas)
Redd league vet Minimium (Redd gives us scorer off the bench along with Shumpert and Rush)
BD league vet minimium (hopefully Redd can last long enough until BD is healthy)
Collison Bogan Melo Stat Chandler
Shumpert Redd Rush Jorts Jeffries
Bibby Jordan IR Walker BD
Or we could sign Baron Davis
bd will be ready after March.
the difference between Dougass and collison is home field advantage and division title.

I expect the Knicks to win the division either way. No one else has improved they way we have and Boston's in big trouble this year. They are a very old team that has to play 66 games in 120 days; they lost their most important bench player in Jeff Green for the season and maybe longer; and Ainge has totally destroyed their relationship with their best player, Rondo, by trying to trade him each of the last two years. Boston should still make the playoffs, but I can't imagine them getting even one of the top four seeds.

No offense, but you cannot write Boston off like that. They have chinks in the armor, but they still have a veteran team that knows how to play. The fact that they lost a bench player is tough, but, we don't really have a bench to lose. I think we can win the East, I'm just not sure we count Boston out so easily. We haven't had a lot of time to build chemistry.

yeah, they added a couple of nice younger bodies as well too.

I understand experience and all but I don't think they're really going to try to win the division. Pierce is 34, Allen is 36, and Garnett is 35. Also, Garnett hasn't been healthy since they won the championship four years ago. If Boston wants to do something in the playoffs, they'll have to give those three a lot of rest throughout the season. Remember, they're playing 66 games in 120 days. And, I believe, that Danny Ainge has destroyed his relationship with their best player, Rajon Rondo. Rondo's a guy who, by all accounts, is mentally and emotionally fragile. Now he's been shopped around the league each of the last two years. I think that will affect Rondo, and the rest of the team, all season. Similarly to how the Perkins trade affected them last year.
