THIS TRADE WON'T HAPPEN, but IT WOULD REALLY HELP US KNICKS FANS

By: Adam Pally

As the draft approaches, us knicks fans are getting more and more apthetic and resigned to the fact that it is going to be another mediocre year, and that Zeke is not going to pull off a blockbuster. So, I will suggest this blockbuster, and hope to god that someone can get this done...

3 way trade...

Atlanta gets
Channing Frye
Luke Ridnour
Damian Wilkens
New York Knicks 1st round pick

Seattle gets
Jamal Crawford
Jared Jeffries
Zaza Pachulia
Marvin Williams
Nate Robinson

New York gets
Ray Allen
Salim Stoudemire
Lorenzen Wright

ATLANTA -- Sends out Zaza and Marvin, but they bring in the Point Gurad they have wanted forever in Ridnour, a capable 4 who may or may not get better if he gets some heart, and a real nice gritty wing to compliment. They also free up some cap space by losing Zaza's mid level deal and Lorenzen's stupid contract. It hurts losing Marvin a former 2 who was selected before paul and dwill, but picking up the Knicks first rounder, eases the pain, and now they can select Horford 3, acie law 11, and then that wing that you know they are just itching to grab with 23... This will give Atlanta one of the best young nucleaus's in the league, if not the best...

Starting 5
Frye - C
Horford -- PF
Smith -- SF
Johnson -- SG
Ridnour -- PG

Key Bench
Josh Childress
Speedy Claxton
Damian Wilkens
Sheldon Williams
# 11 pick PG (Acie Law or Crittenton)
#23 pick (Daquon cook or Almond or Bellinelli)

SEATTLE
Unloads Ray's contract for smaller parts a' la Chris Webber's kings deal. They bring in hometown fave's Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson to spice up their back court, and then get what should have been a defensive specialst in Jeffries. If he can return to his level of play he had at Washington he can certainly help Seattle lock down someone, which is something they havent done since payton left. Add on top of that, a starting caliber center in Zaza who is highly under rated and you have a nice deal. But the cherry on top is Marvin Williams. A number 2 pick with number 1 talent, he can play anywhwere from the 4 to the 2, as does they number to pick seattle has coming in Kevin Durant. Now if you sign and trade Rashard Lewis for some nice parts, Swift develops to something more than an NBA Odoyle, you get a coach that plays in that D'antoni style, you could have the makings of one of the most exciting teams in the league.

Starting 5
C -- Chris Wilcox
PF -- Zaza
SF -- Kevin Durant
SG -- Marvin Williams
PG -- Jamal Crawford

Key Bench
Nate Robinson
Jared Jeffries
Robert Swift
Collison
And all those forigners/second round picks/pieces you pick up from a Lewis sign and trade

NEW YORK -- This is obvious... New York gets the shooters it has so desperately coveted since Eddy Curry became a beast on the inside. Granted Jesus Shuttlesworth is on the wrong side of 30, but the boy can still light it up, and Salim, when he's not sparking it up, is one of the best shooters in the world, and Zeke loves them Stoudemires. Sure they give up a draft pick, which is about the only good thing Isiah does, but they gain stuff better anyway. And if they can pick up a 2nd rounder this draft is deep enough, and Isiah has a good enough eye for talent, theyll pick something up in the end, plus, they signed Randolph Morris, who was first roudn talent anyway.

Starting 5
Curry -- C
Lee -- PF
Q-Rich -- SF
Allen -- SG
Starburry -- PG

Key Bench
Balkman
Stoudemire
Collins
Malik Rose/Jerome James
Randolph Morris

Unfortunately this trade wont happen because Lenny Wilkens will not trade with NY, Atlanta won't trade with anyone, and it is probably too good to be true. Alright idiots, rip it up.
