Pick 24 and Marcus Camby to Charlotte-----Gerald Hendersen to NYK to fit in at 2 G with Shumpert at SF and Ray at PG JR stays 6th man(if we do indeed have a deal in place for him. They were trying to get a pick for him during the season--he would make us longer more athletic and much younger in the backcourt and with Shumpert Smith and Hendersen one of the most athoetic teams in the league.
personally, I'd rather just draft Tim Hardaway Jr - but am not opposed to Henderson. The Knicks could use a SG with size
Knicks can't trade picks in consecutive years so this years pick can't be traded. I like Henderson though.

No but can't they draft a player for a team then trade them?

I am not sure if they need to wait for a period of time after the draft before they could make a trade using the guy they picked.
this beverly kid is impressive on defensive. THATs what we need!

We draft a player and then trade his rights. In this case it would be a S+T--if we threw them back a little cash--it would be an equivalent of just buying a pick from us. Give Henderson 4 years 26.5mm$
That would make our line up next year--it would make us younger and more athletic--more explosive.
C-Tyson C
F-Anthony
F Shumpert
G Hendersen
G Felton
6th man Smith
PF Amare
F/C Martin
etc..
I think Grunwald should mainly look to get us a replacement for Amare.
I thought this was going to be another Tyson trade proposal.
we need another defensive point guard....there are doubts as to whether Pablo will remain in the states.
I think we need a big to spell Tyson and a PG. Our bigs spent most of the season on the IL. Chandler can't go through that again next season.
Briggs..a couple of thoughts
-i like the idea of adding gerald but i think we need more pgs..defensive ones like beverly
-need front court depth...dante cunningham
-you think cope comes back?
-im hoping jr comes back...lin-type back loaded team

Really? That would be a significant loss.

yeah, they were saying on MSG that he's not 100?% about coming back. The NBA season is much longer than he is accustomed to playing and at this stage of his life, its more time than he is used to playing away from his family.
What about Nate Wohlters? Lose the chance to draft him.
Cant count out Memphis in the west either

He did say that right before he got the starting job, maybe some of it had to do with his role on the team. Knows he doesn't have much time left career wise and wants to make sure he makes the most out of the time he has left.
@jrodmc...this thread is about next yr. i think everyone knows that were living in the present but some of us like to think of the following yrs. ill speak for myself, i like to play GM and think ahead. but i agree with you, BOSTON is most important..followed by the next game after that
now to the future -
1. i dont think Prigoni will stay (i ended up liking him after all and i can admit he WILL be a loss). I think we should draft a quick PG in the beverly mode. pierre jackson (baylor) and Carson (Ariz St) are two prospects that BRIGGS has mentioned that i like. Wolters will be a solid NBA player but im not sure he has the quickness to play "Beverly"-like defense (i think i just made up that term...lol)
2. weve GOT to resign JR. I think if we give him a "Lin"-like backloaded deal ($5mil next yr...up to $10 by the 4th yr), then we can keep him under the CBA rules. and yes he deserves to start now!
3. we CANT trade tyson but maybe we can trade camby and his expiring contract (it expires next yr right?). or hopefully he retire
4. Kidd will come back but i cant imagine him playing alot at his old age. would be nice to get a combo PG/SG (free Delonte WEST!!)
5. hopefully Kmart and Cope (for $3mil MLE) come back to add depth. Im a fan of dante cunningham for young defensive front court depth
6. Id keep QRich or sign DWest for
PG = Felton/West/(draft pick)
SG = JR/Kidd/QRich
SF = Shumpert/Cope
PF = Melo/KMart/D.Cunningham
C = Tyson/Amare
