The knicks have plenty of options this season. They should keep Lee because he is the reason why the knicks even won the games they won. Trade Robinson if you get kidd because toney douglas is just as good as Nate. If they can get Gortat then that would be a plus for Lee because then he could play his natural power forward position. trade Curry and Jefferies because they are washed up. Next season I think the Knicks could be a playoff contender.

If this is just a 2 team race between the Mavs and Knicks for Kidd, then Kidd may just choose the Knicks, lets face it, the mavs are a team on the decline,the west just got a whole lot harder with Artest going to the Lakers and Hedo maybe going to Portland, the Knicks potential upside could be much higher in year’s 2 and 3 of Kidd’s contract, then it would be in Dallas. We already know about the family reasons with kidd to choose the Knicks, the 2 offers are not all that different, Kidd could make up the difference in money with a couple endorsement deals in a snap of a finger in NY. Also remember u sign Kidd and are able to trade Jefferies’ contract to say Washington for a expiring contract like Mike James or something, your cap is then the same as it was before u went after Kidd. One to thing to watch as far as Lee is concerned. If hedo signs in Portland, u could see a sign and trade where Lee goes to Portland for SG Rudy Fernandez. Also u could see Jefferies go with Nate robinson in a sign and trade to Sacramento for Kenny Thomas’ expiring contract, a deal that almost occured this past trade deadline. And the Mavs just further screwed up their cap situation by signing Gorat to the full mid-level exception for 5 yrs. This Kidd situation is primed for it to blow up in Cuban’s face. U could see Mobley’s expiring contract along with say either Larry Hughes or Al Harrington go to the Rockets for Tracy McGrady. Lastly, I’ll believe it when I see it that anybody would trade for Eddy Curry for any reason, whether it’s to the Rockets or anybody else.

Nice article, but how can the Knicks sign Gortat and Kidd while keeping all of those pieces? Both players are likely going to demand the whole MLE if not more.

Ha, thanks Dave! The problem I see with trading Nate is that I don’t think they’ll get any young player in return. It would most likely be a player that will come off the books like he would if he stays one more year.

wow, im really surprised that someone was actaully able to make sense of the knicks current situation. i really agree with almost everything you said except maybe keeping nate. right now he is a 5-9 shooting guard, but yet he is very popular around the league because he can flat out score, something the knicks dont really need, they have plenty of people that can score. i think they should be looking to work a sign and trade with nate that would at least get them a really solid young role player that will b there for the long run, who knows if kid falls thorugh i say ship nate to minnesota for rubio as fast as u can.
