Sold out future for RIght now! and boy are we reaping benefits.
Utah receives a 2008 New York first-round pick (top 23 protected in 2008, top 22 protected in 2009 and unproteced in 2010) (
Tom Gugliotta trade 021904) via Phoenix (Marbury trade) Phoenix receives a 2005 New York Knicks first-round pick. (010504 Marbury trade).
I believe it means the knicks giv up a first rounder if it's not in top 23, but defere the 1st rounder to next year 2009 also top 22 protected, then unprotected in 2008.
If you look at protland, they get a 2nd rounder from us in 2008,
and chicago gets another 2nd round from us in 2009
Our future looks terrible, it has been sold downthe river for our present...and somehow I find myself looking forward to the Future?
