Trade for Gasol would have made sense for Knicks

With one simple move, an NBA general manager who only months ago was said to be a bonehead suddenly has become a genius.

seems like zeke trade, let go of our young talent and take big contracts. We would have to unload some contracts if that will work. We will get artest in the offseason anyway.

Why can't the Knicks get an all star player for nothing as the Lakers did?
Answer: Bad management of that team.

Pau Gasol would have helped the Knicks and Jason Kidd could help them become a winner by changing the chemistry and providing on-court and off-court leadership.

But unfortunately Isiah Thomas, who was such a great player does not have a clue as to what is needed to build a winning team.

Curry is loaded with talent but lacks heart and desire. Jerome James is another bust. Stephon Marbury is selfish and not a point guard to build around.

Wrong decisions, incompatible players and the highest payroll in the NBA for the lowest basketball IQ and least efficient production.

If you guys even read what Memphis was looking for was to save money, they are running out of cash. At least they got some talent with the trade. The Knicks only have Morris and Jones contracts that are ending this year, plus you are over the cap. The math doesn't add up.
