Knicks interested in trading for J. Will (CBS Sports)

Even has his picture in the article.....

 

The New York Times reports the Knicks are after an inexpensive backup point guard that won't add to next season's payroll. So a cheap, expiring point guard is what the Knicks are interested in. The team is reportedly willing to deal Bill Walker, who is making $854,389 this season and $916,100 next season.

 

Options for the Knicks? Jason Williams, Earl Watson, Earl Boykins and Ronnie Price are a few of the point guards out there with an expiring deal. Patrick Beverley who was released by the Heat is still searching for a team as well as Acie Law who was just waived by the Grizzlies.

 

However, by the sound of the report, the Knicks are interested in trading, rather than signing. If they were to sign a player like Law or Beverley, they'd have to waive someone. Most likely Walker again, but New York probably feels like a trade could net a better player than Law or Beverley.

 

The Knicks point guard situation isn't great with Toney Douglas backing Raymond Felton currently. Douglas is more of a shooting guard and behind him is rookie Andy Rautins who most definitely isn't a point guard.

 

New York wants a legitimate point guard to have on the roster, especially since the team is looking competitive. If Felton were to go down, man, they'd be in trouble. (Speaking of, Felton is quietly having a really nice season. 18.1 ppg and 8.3 apg isn't too shabby.)

Okay New York, add in Wilson Chandler to that and baby, you've got a stew going. . .

Nicks interested in trading for an inexpensive PG that will not be on the payroll next season (expiring deal).

 

Players listed are proposed by the writer because they are expiring.

 

Knicks willing to trade Walker.

 

Impact to the team? Zero.

 

We need our three pg's and have no incentive to make that trade.

Was going to say the same thing. With Jameer's tendecy to miss a decent amount of games every year, the last thing we need is Duhon to be the only true PG playing.

Unless they're offering Wilson Chandler and two future 1st round draft picks, Otis may as well not even pick up the phone.

You're approaching Captain Slammit levels of disappointment right now.

Your sig is so spot-on.

Wonder if we can get them to take back Chris Duhon instead...
