I think you mean the other way around. The only two players on the Knicks roster right now that are worth a damn are Stoudemire and Randolph, and a lot of their future picks are allocated to other teams thanks to past trades. If the Hornets traded CP3 and Peja (an expiring contract) to the Magic for Nelson, Carter (also an expiring contract thanks to a team option for next season), Gortat (sp?), and one or two draft pics it would make a lot more sense.

I thought about something like that but Nelson, a former allstar, wouldn't be too happy off the bench and Collison would get the minutes he would need to become a premier PG. There's no way we can run both Nelson and Collison on the floor at the same time... as we would be tremendously undersized. Carter's expiring contract would be nice but Peja's is expiring too... he's also on the downside of his career and could possibly eat up some of Thornton's developmental time at SG... though Carter shouldn't have have any problem playing SF. I like Gortat but he'd be a 20 mpg player here backing up West and Okafor(hefty price tag for a backup center). Still, from a player standpoint, it wouldn't be a bad re-coup either. If indeed the Knicks future 1st rounders are allocated elsewhere, then I wouldn't trade CP3 for just Chandler and Randolph... I would be insistent on an additional 2 first in such a deal there.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
