    Today New York Knicks acquired forward Othella Harrington from the Vancouver Grizzlies for guard Erick Strickland and picks.

    Is this the beginning....?

    Kenny Thomas had a foul called on him in the Western Conference Finals.

    I like this deal for the Knicks and Othella.He'll really help them inside...An older,veteran team is perfect for him,besides,he grew up on the East Coast.....now we wait for the dam to break.
    Thats some bittersweet news since he really developed under us,but he's a great guy,and I'm happy for him.

    Doesn't make too much sense. Lowe has said Swift hasn't earned his minutes, and Strickland can't play any PF at all, in fact, he plays Dickerson's position. Reef can play the PF I suppose, but there's no way both he and Bibby will still be around after this season. The draft picks probably are pretty worthless too, with the Knicks being a good team, and oweing a few through that Ewing trade.

    I wonder if that PF spot is saved for Kenny Thomas?

    Weren't the Grizz allegedly offered Battie and the #11 pick from the Celtics this offseason?

    That spot is for Massenburg and Swift. But I'm glad for othella...maybe we're getting Rice or Houston?

    Don't forget about Grant Long, also.

    I think the Knicks are trying to create an All-Forward team.

    "No Brain Grant, no trade." -- Typos are a b**** as ZRB is holding Rocket trades hostage while he seeks a brain. Conspiracy theorists say this would explain why Hakeem has yet to be traded...
