Recent reports indicate that the Knicks second unit featuring Grant and Galloway are trouncing the starting unit. Furthermore, Derek Fisher has expressed a desire to sign a quick Point or Combo Guard to complement the roster.
With Derrick Williams displaying outstanding skills and Cleanthony Early also looking ready to contribute, we may see some early trade activity.
Carlos Boozer is available. That fact puts the retention of Thomas and Seraphin who is struggling in doubt.
Jackson and Fisher and Melo are serious about winning NOW. Keep in mind Seraphin was signed at the recommendation of team players - he's not a Jackson decision to begin with. Lance Thomas is there as a comfort zone, locker-room presence for Fisher. Both look to be expendable for the right talent.
It will come to no surprise to this writer if Jose Calderon were packaged with either or both players for a proven back-up quality PG, a future second-rounder, and/or a deep bench player who improves the team speed.
If Calderon is retained in the early going I will further wildly speculate that a mid-Dec trade of Calderon and Thomas for Rajon Rondo++ will be consumed. There are already reports out of Sacramento that Rondo and Karl are having differences. Rondo's last chance stop in the NBA may be with his friend Carmelo Anthony as a back-up to Jerian Grant.
A more immediate fix could involve trading Calderon for Brandon Jennings who could become player 15 while he recovers.

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.

Big NO to Rajon Rondo, but I always liked Jennings and he wanted to be a Knick to begin with.
