"Davild Aldridge just reported on ESPN news...
The Knicks/Blazers/Hawks are discussing a 3 team that would have the knicks recieving Shareef Abdul Raheem and Ruben Patterson...The Hawks recieving Rasheed Wallace and Franks Williams and the Blazers getting Keith Van Horn,Nazr Mohamed, and Mike Sweetney. This isnt the full content of the Report.. more picks are thrown in it..."

I don't like it as we give the best player in the trader for Franks Williams(assuming we will let Wallace walk). What about Blazers give us their first?
Opinion?

what the he.ll kind of trade is that... we give away the one player we want and we get the one player everyone is scared of getting...

frank williams hasn't done anything to butter my bread..

i'd trade anyone else on the roster for that but not reef... this is smitty for rider all over.

This trade sucks for the Hawks. Is everybody out to help the Knicks. The only good thing is the Hawks get an expiring contract in Wallace. And he has been saying he wants to play in NY, Cle or Philly. So you know he won't be resigning with us. Frank Williams hasn't done anything as a pro. No draft picks in this deal as well. It seems we are giving away too much and getting too little in return. I think Reef and Nazr could get us more.

I can believe that the Knicks blazers and Hawks are discussing a deal, but that one seems very unlikely for many reasons.

I would be more tempted to believe...

Knicks get Patterson/Davis/JT

PTL gets Van Horn/Theo

Atlanta gets Wallace.

.......I'm through with them until he is gone.

I'll take the stance on him that _sturt_ took on JR Rider.

If the Hawks add this hot headed, dope smoking, woman beating, gang banging thug to this team, then I'm through with them until he is gone.

Especially if they trade a guy who is a perfect citizen in Shareef Abdur-Rahim for him.
