If I were GM ...

I'd tell Seattle OK, you really want to unload Baker. Fine. I'll take him but 
I'm not giving you the only relief I have to look forward to in this battle 
with the cap and luxury tax. You can have VP, EW, & Delk -- take it or leave 
it. If they take it I resign Rogers even if it means paying a tax this year, 
selling Gaston on the fact that we'll have Kenny off the books next year. 

If the Knicks want to get involved I'd absolutely love to have Kurt Thomas 
instead of Baker but they can keep Ward. They shouldn't have a hard time 
finding someone else to make up the difference between the salaries of Baker 
and Thomas since most of the role players there make 6 mill a year.
