10 Days to the Trading Deadline
There are 10 days left for the Knicks to make yet another costly error. Penny is being shopped for cap relief as he won't play this year. That means that -- in order to add some marginal (at best) player -- we'll take on someone else's mistake contract. This we should not do.
Brown is referring to Curry and Frye as the franchise. Curry gets that label only because we gave up the franchise's future to get him. Brown says there are already too may young players, but that is sour grapes versus not having one of top 3 picks of the draft. Frye is a great addition, but not a one-man team.
Obviously, the deals for Lamar Odom were non-starters, but beware of equally unsound deals involving a package of Penny with Nate, Ariza or Lee.
We can't have too many young players if we trade them all away.
