Today Isola is suggesting the Knicks 'rent' Tracy McGrady next year. Isola want the Knicks to subsidize the Rockets by trading Mobley's valuable contract bundled with Larry Hughes.
Geezus, these NY Sports writers just can't shoot the Knicks in the foot fast enough can they?
First of all the ambulatory McGrady may never play another game in the coming year - the last of his contract. Okay, fine. So that means Isola wants to [God only knows why] get rid of hughes and Mobley - well - just because having McGrady in a suit behind the Knicks bench would look good.
The only trade that would benefit the Knicks would be Eddie Curry and Quentin Richardson for McGrady. And the reason is that eCurry has worn out his welcome in NY and Q is odd man out in a crowd of SF candidates next year. Houston still makes out like bandits. They get smaller contracts, a center candidate on a mission to redeem his career and a locker room leader in Q.
The Knicks get a suit occupied by a former superstar who isola and crowd can hang on and an open roster spot. To make anything more of this would be silly.
But let me close by saying that Larry Hughes is an upgrade at the two and, once again, Mobley's insurance paid contract is a very nice chip to hang onto until draft night. McGrady is never going to trump that value.

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.
