Re: sweetney + 2 NY trade ideas

[Celtic4Hire@xxxxxxx]

I've been wondering what Danny was holding out for, especially since all of 
the free agents have already declared. I think you are right on the money with 
the Vin Baker idea. I think NY wants Walker but doesn't want Baker. Now that 
Nestorvic has signed with the Spurs, maybe they will make the deal. However, I 
think it is Walker and Baker for Ward, Thomas and McDyess. The trade works per 
Real GM. I believe it will still work with Frank Williams included or we 
could use our trade exception but I think Danny wouldn't want the salary. Would we 
get any no. 1s or be happy that we would have cap space -- we would be about 
10 million under the cap, the real cap, not the luxury cap. 

Further reason why this could be what Danny is thinking. We haven't heard one 
word about Danny talking about anyone other than the Karl Malone deal. He 
isn't spending one cent on anyone.

Also, the Knicks we interested in Baker at the trade deadline a year and a 
half ago. They have no one inside and no hope. Baker would look better at center 
than Kurt Thomas.....
