Marbury Deals?

They are hard to imagine just given the size of the contract involved but there are a few theoretical ones worth considering. And while these deals work straight up, my feeling is that the Knicks would have to do a side deal of Balkman for a future second-rounder to make it worthwhile talent-wise for the other team to consummate the deal.

Deal 1 - Extremely unlikely - Stephon for Kidd; Kidd never delivered the ring last year, maybe Cuban cuts bait (not that he ever does).

Deal 2 - Unlikely but intriguing - Stephon for Iverson; Denver hasn't won anything and is loaded for bear. Do they change the mix one more time before a wholesale rebuild?

Deal 3 - Unlikely but intriguing - Stephon for Odom and change; Odom didn't win it for the Lakers last year (maybe LA cuts bait). Bigger question is whether NY wants another SF, an aging one at that.

Deal 4 - A stretch but possible - Stephon for Redd and Villanueva (Balkman in side deal); Milwaukee is tying up a LOT of money in Jefferson and Redd. Marbury would spell Redd for a lot less money and shorter time. Villan wants out with no takers. For the Knicks, Crawford would be the next domino. Redd rain at the garden.

Deal 5 - A stretch but possible - Stephon (Balkman in side deal) for Artest and Thomas; NY eats Thomas' contract, Ron-Ron gets a NY audition. Again, does NY want another SF?

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.
