ny daily news reporting... The trade rumors that have shadowed Thomas throughout his six seasons with the Knicks are hotter than ever. One scenario would have Thomas heading to Cleveland for center Zydrunas Ilgauskas. A more complicated deal would have Thomas as part of a four-team trade that would center around Vince Carter moving from Toronto to Dallas. Toronto and Dallas are recruiting several teams in an effort to deal Carter to the Mavs. The Knicks' side of the deal would include multiple players, with Thomas ending up in Dallas or Golden State and Shandon Anderson going to Toronto. The Knicks would be getting Antoine Walker from Dallas and Erick Dampier from Golden State.
