Quiet Storm
This rumor may have no validity to it, but it appears that the Knicks are in pursuit of Micheal Redd. Now the rumor states that we would offer Zach Randolph as bait. However, Remember The Bucks GM blocked a trade for Zach with the Bucks giving up less before, no way they part ways with Redd for Zach. Now, I can see them taking Steph for cap purposes. But still we would probably have to give them Nate and for sure swap picks (if not lose the pick completly). The good news is that Augistine would still be on the board, but would The Bucks think moving up two spots would be so valuable? I mean in this draft after Rose,Beasley,and Mayo it really is just a matter of taste so a player projected to go 5 could very well be around for the 8th pick. Anyways the other issue is what do we do with Jamal? Do we package him with Zach in my infamous Cavs trade proposal (Zach Jamal for D.Jones,Wally Z., and Pavlovic)? If so here is our Starting Five if this did go down
Augistine/Mardy
Redd/Wally Z
Q/Wilson
Lee/Balkman
Curry/Lee
A lot more balanced lineup with Redd and Eddy projected to be your scorers. Augistine is your floor general, Q and Lee provide Def. and Rebs. and hit shots when called upon. Wilson comes off the bench this season, but will slide into the starting five next year (Q's last as a Knick likely). Balkman brings the energy and Wally is a nice backup SG for Redd. This lineup wins about 39 games and has a shot at the playoffs.
