I think the combo of mar, craw, james, zbo, varajo make cleveland a powerhouse. it puts them as an elite team not only in the east but in the whole league. instead of being third behind boston and detriot. also all of these players contracts expire one year after james. so they are only stuck with them one year after james leaves and they can rebuild quickly.I just can't resist. I could see Cleveland taking on one of the 3 players. But the Knicks have a better chance of winning 5 straight games then Cleveland taking on all three.
Cleveland has television and reads newspapers they can obviously tell that Zbo, Crawford, and Marbury is a failed experiment.
Its sad to say but the combo of West/Gibson Varejo and Biz Z is far superior then Crawford, Marbury, and Zbo

in all honesty.i'd keep steph so his contract comes off the books,and who knows,lebron said he loves the garden.james and mayo.sounds like a samich.i think bron's been making plans.
Oops I meant Chicago's 10th or 11th pick, the kid from Uconn or Hibbert should still be available. I would then call up Sac offer them the same package that Isiah said was too much for Ron, which was, Curry, Balkman (hate to see you go!) and Nate (you too) for Ron and maybe get Garcia off of them.
So my two trades combined amount to
C-De Andre Jordan, or Thabeet
PF- D Lee.
SF- Ron
SG- Q
PG- Arroyo-first free agent signing
Bench
Crawford- not as bad at the sixth man spot
Wilson Chandler
Garcia- can play SG and SF in spirts
Mardy- Yahoo sports just named him hottest PG in Fantasy basketball! Still means nothing, but is a nice backup to Arroyo
Diop- 2nd free agent.
Yep I know what you are thinking, this team sucks on offense! and you are right, however they are everything the Knicks are not now, a cheap defensive minded bunch. Will this team win a title together, probably not. But they are good start to winning for us!
i've always thought about kirilenko as a knick cause of his defenseThe Knicks are likely to be in a rebuilding mode for the next couple of years. The Knicks owe Utah a first round pick. This, believe it or not, is the result of the acquisition of Marbury from Phoenix. The is fully protected for this year and more than reasonably protected for next year, but it becomes unprotected in 2010. It would be nice to get that pick back.
Kirilenko and Zach Randolph have almost identical contracts. Each runs through 2010/11. Kirilenko's is just slightly higher in each of the next three years. I would prefer Kirilenko to Zach Randolph. I can not imagine what interest Utah might have in Zach, but Kirilenko has had some troubles with Sloan. Perhaps with Zach and someone else we could get Kirilenko and that draft pick back.
and ron who's a free agent,and would probably be a knick at a discount.Ron Artest
dolan is adept a throwing money away,this would by him some cheers for sure.Trade Eddy Curry and Mardy Collins for Al Harrington or Mike Miller
buyout Quentin Richardson
buyout Jared Jeffries
Waive Jerome James.
i know.i look at the salaries and a get nauseous.Arenas isn't a guy I would want here. His defense is terrible and he dominates the ball too much. He's been INJURED all year. I don't understand why people don't take injuries seriously The injure will bring him down a level, and turn him down the decline. All Arenas is a "quick" fix, we've had enough of those with Isiah.
Wizards are still a playoff team without Arenas. Arenas is one of the most overrated players in the league...he'll fall off the Earth like Steve Francis.
