I can't help but feel that Memphis needs to lose salary. The Knicks can offer Curry, Rose, and Balkman - a nice combination of positional players whose contracts are shorter than Miller, Milicic, and Conley. Hard to Know if Memphis could do better but they get some decent talent back for players who can lose games much more expensively.
Milicic might actually figure out to play under D'Antoni, Conley could complement Marbury until next year. Miller might push Crawford to the SF spot.

Baron the latest player to use the Knicks as a negotiating blunt instrument - big surprise there. He ain't ever arriving, just checking wallets.

As for my Westbrook theory, here it is. The reason I happen to think Westbrook is a perfect pick is because the league is brimming with extremely talented PG's who will need to be contained. If the Knicks miss out on Rose then the next smartest thing would be to draft a defensive PG who can shut down the Chris Pauls, Roses, Durants and so on.
I'm coming to hate the top ten picks the hoi polloi of basketball fandom is in love with. Get me Westbrook and Alexander and call it a day.

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.

Why would the Knicks ever do that trade with Memphis?
Well, Carlos it supplies the Knicks with a PG prospect and a center not named Curry.
ok, like you said, they can lose games much more expensively. Hopefully the Knicks no longer go this way.
Carlos,
I happen to like Zach and Curry cannot exist with Zach. For me trading Curry who can blossom in Memphis by being the low-post scorer is fine. Meanwhile maybe Darko can thrive next to Zach.
Miller is a nice shooter to have and Conley can inherit Marbs' spot The fact that Memphis saves some cash doesn't mean we blow the budget.
Nothing about this trade is terribly lop-sided. Memphis gets wsome nice pieces and the Knicks correct some chemistry.
ok, but before doing any trades, unless they're lopsided in our favar, I would wait for 2 things.
See what falls to us at #6. We may not need another PG prospect afterwards.
Let our new coach evaluate what we have.
