and what would you give up for him?

To me the Hornets are looking to get out of his contract and NY has plenty of expirings. I am not high on ThJR but if they want him then fine. They would need to include a couple of second rounders and maybe Bismack but I am not sure he would do anything here because he rebounds and blk shots.

Indy is trying to hold out for a 1st rounder. Now I am sure that is just to set up getting a more reasonable deal but they knicks would be in a position to only ask for a 2nd rounder.

Pacers said they wanted TWO first round picks for taking him off the Hornets hands. That's the kind of value he has at the moment! Yikes!

Well I was speaking purely hypothetically since we probably, no, make that we definitely have zero assets that Charlotte wants in a trade. Or maybe we do and I just suck at coming up with these fake trade scenarios! I didn't realize that actual, realistic trade scenarios existed!

Give up either Amare and Shump for Lance
Or give them Calderon and expiring contract for Lance. They need shot makers because they rely too much on Walker and big Al. They really don't have a play maker.

lol, we are voided of any leadership, and you want to bring in another knuckle head, with no high character vets on the roster, a guy who can't shoot a lick..please we don't lack talent, we lack sense

He is a negative sum player right now in many ways.
This dude can't play with Kamba

25 games is an awful small sample size. If The knicks can get a player and some picks why not do it. Just think he would get to hang around Calderon and Prigs. A week or two around them and he starts passing up shots then all his shooting problems will go away.
We have nothing to give up and we don't need him. Stay the course--absolute zero reason to even inquire.

Time to get Stephenson in a Knicks uniform

Knicks get:

Jr and our dalembart
Defense would be nice, but a team with rondo and lance's abysmal shooting would fail.

Draft high, very high.
Sign a premium FA with cap.
Want to go with Lance, melo and Rondo?
why the hell would the celtics give up rondo for Bargs and caledron especially when they both are some shit
Well im watching the hornets game, and Lance just went down screaming grabbing his groin, probably a relief to the team considering how erratic he was playing.
