No more discussion of TJ Ford as a Knick - OKAY? The idea sucks and as a long-suffering Knicks fan the very F'n last player I want to see in a Knicks uni is an accident prone one.
If we trade for a Toronto PG it will be Calderon. As I suggested then, Curry and our pick for Calderon and #17. I'm good with that. Unless we're picking 1 or 2, I can live with Calderon.
TJ Ford I have no use for.
Let's look at two teams loaded with young talent AND draft picks. Seattle owns SIX picks and Portland THREE! Is #13 or #24 available? Earl Watson and Jarrett Jack or Steve Blake may all be available and worth a gamble.
And what about Free Agent Beno Udrih? Can D'Antoni lure him here? And what about the Memphis glut of PGs? Navarro? Conley?

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.

I love Navarro, but he's not a PG. Now Calderon is something else. Toronto played a lot better as a team during Ford's injury. Neither Calderon nor Ford seem to be good at sharing starting minutes and Calderon was the better starter.
Oh, I was trying to match trade targets. Navarro and Darko are joined at the hip, add Conley and there's enough there for some kind of swap.
Navarro and Darko being Euros might blossom under D'Antoni whereas in Memphis they're just expensive overhead.
IMO, Calderon would be very high on the shopping list assuming we miss out on Rose.
The nice thing about D'Antoni is you don't need more than 10 players. We could gut this team of bodies and come up with some decent starters over the summer, no problem.
The other, very real, possibility is that Nash will force himself to NY like Gasol and Shaq before him. He's getting older, Phoenix is going nowhere, and he may want to enjoy his last years in the league by taking a flyer on the rejuvenated Knicks.
Mitch Lawrence I don't believe but the Nash vibe is obvious.
I don't know what Nash has left in the tank. Kidd had nothing for Dallas, they were just fleeced by NJ. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to us.
Well Carlos, Nash has but two years left on a reasonable contract by NY standards.
We aren't a playoff contender and Nash may not have to play big minutes.
We need hustle guys, guys with heart,and so on. Nash is a perfect fit.
Actually, I suggest a Marbury for Kidd trade because it makes so much sense as well.
Its an even money - even contract swap. Both have something to prove but elsewhere....
just thinking aloud.
Nash over Kidd any time. I guess a swap of Marbury for Nash wouldn't work money-wise. I just don't know.
According to RealGM Marbury can't be traded. And nash doesn't work even up.
But one could argue that Curry, Rose, Balkman, and our pick for Nash, Diaw, and their #15 pick is a deal worth considering. Phoenix gets younger, we get better.
I'd only do that if our pick is #6 or worse. We sure get better, but how many years does Nash have left?
carlos,
My feeling is we either pick 1-3 or trade down. I'm even superstitious about picking #1. That pick almost never makes it. So I'm leery about Rose if all the experts say he's #1.
True, but some exceptions to the no #1 rule are Ewing and Tim Duncan. I believe the #2 on the Duncan year was Antoine Walker.
