KNICKS trade rumor

[lil_o]

There has been some buzz for a Knicks trade with Sixers as follows:

Marbury and T. Thomas

for

Dalembert, Mashburn, Ollie, McKie

Isiah says if he completes this trade he will move Crawford to PG, Q-Rich to SG and Frye to PF.

Good trade or potential disaster?

This is one of those trades where both teams lose for acquiring such crummy players.

The 76ers GM would takeover Isiah as the worst in the game if he did this trade.

Whaaaaa? The two premier undersized shootfirst ball hog point guards in the league on the same team? Have the Sixers lost their minds or are you making this up?

If you look at the records of teams that trade Stephon Marbury they consistently improve the year after.

T'Wolves, Nets, Suns...

I read this rumor on ESPN Insider.

Just imagine the chemistry of Iverson, Marbury, T. Thomas and Webber playing together. That would be painful (from a fundamental team perspective) to watch.

Of course. Marbury is a team killer and always will be. I'd trade him for a ball of yarn and cap space. It just seems like the worst trade in the world for the Sixers. Can anyone paste the relevant parts of that Insider article?

"Team president Isiah Thomas is trying everything to remake the team's roster. That includes, according to multiple team executives, offering Stephon Marbury to the highest bidder. The problem is that no one seems interested in the four years, $76 million left on his contract.

Thomas is willing to trade Marbury to the Sixers for Samuel Dalembert (in a sign-and-trade), according to two league sources. To get a deal to work under the CBA, the deal would have to be expanded because of base-year issues with Dalembert. A trade of Marbury and Tim Thomas for Dalembert, Jamal Mashburn, Aaron McKie and Kevin Ollie works under the cap.

The Knicks' plan would be to move Jamal Crawford to the point, with Quentin Richardson at the two. Channing Frye would play the four, with Dalembert at the five."
