pookie23 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 ESPN.com news servicesNew York Knicks-San Antonio Spurs-Houston Rockets: The Knicks are in the process of adding more big salaries to their roster.Two league sources told ESPN Insider Chad Ford that New York has traded Nazr Mohammed and Jamison Brewer to the Spurs for Malik Rose and a first-round pick. The Knicks also traded Vin Baker and Moochie Norris to the Rockets for Maurice Taylor and a first-round pick, Ford reports.Once again, team president Isiah Thomas is willing to take back huge contracts to get more talent. In the Spurs deal, the Knicks are sending back $5.5 million in future salaries for the remaining four years, $27.3 million of Rose's contract. In the Rockets deal, Thomas is sending back $8 million in future salaries and getting back $18 million in return. In total, the Knicks, who have the largest payroll in the league, will add an extra $32 million in future salaries.For the Rockets, this trade was a salary dump and an effort to shore up a thin point-guard crop.For the Spurs, not only did the clear $21 million in long term salary, they got another legit center in Mohammed -- something the team felt the desperately needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------Isiaih will NEVER fuckin learn...Christ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdoom Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I thought Mohammed was supposed to be the future.Issiah Thomas is worse than Layden, as he has no financial responsibilty. Mo Taylor can't rebound for shit and Malik Rose is a second rate Kurt Thomas clone.First he drives the CBA bankrupt and soon the Knicks.

drdoom Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Not to threadjack, but the New York Knicks annual wage budget is $103,100,000, compared to Phoenix's $43,100,000 (source: http://www.insidehoops.com/nbasalaries.shtml). Fucking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italia23 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Malik Rose can draw fouls, and the only other player on the team that can do that is Sweetney. I can't figure out why they would trade Nazr, though. He wasn't great but at least he's a true center. The one good thing is that they gat a 1st round draft pick. Hopefully they can get another Trevor Ariza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdoom Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Houston needs to be bought out. Marbury will never be a championship point guard - all flash, no substance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonStephen Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 the Knicks have been going nowhere for a long time now....trading Nazr for essentially nothing just goes to show Zeke's incompetance. What, you think they will convert their 1st round pick for someone that'll ever produce? Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
