The projected deal in place is:
New York would send Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry to Minnesota and the Timberwolves would send Corey Brewer and a first-round pick to Denver. Denver would also receive Wilson Chandler from New York.
Someone in the Nuggets organization may be KnicksGM reader, we(and every other Knicks site) have been pushing for this deal to get done for some time now.
If this occurs Donnie Walsh must be granted GM of the Year at the trade deadline. This man really knows what he is doing, patience is truly a virtue.
Stay Tuned for more info...

All the talk in the city yesterday was about the hiring of former vice president of Nuggets basketball operations Mark Warkentien as Knick consultant,possible heir to the "Don",they are several other potential predecessors out there to take over for the real KnicksGM,69 year old Donnie Walsh.The question the streets wanna know is will the "famously unpredictable," James L. Dolan retain his 2012 option by the deadline of april 30th reported by the New York Times. I say instead of grooming his replacement while he is arguably the GM of the year,besides the former Knicks coach that fled after 94,how about we make him feel appreciated for the great work he has done like landing STAT and lock him up for as long as he wants to be the KnicksGM.
Internally, there are fears that Dolan will attempt to bring Isiah Thomas back to run the team, the Times reports.
Here is a rundown and update of the players the last KnicksGM brought into NYC.
THE BALLERS they tried
Zach Randolph, Memphis Grizzlies Had a brief and forgettable stopover with the Los Angeles Clippers. Now producing the usual gaudy numbers for Memphis: 20 points and a career-best 13.2 rebounds a game. Has not made the playoffs or been part of a winning team, though the Grizzlies have a shot at the eighth seed in the West. Salary in 2008: $13.3 million. Current salary: $17.3 million. How he left: Traded (with Mardy Collins) to Clippers, for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas, on Nov. 21, 2008.
Jamal Crawford, Atlanta Hawks Won the Sixth Man of the Year award last season, simultaneously proving that Crawford was a) one of the better players Isiah Thomas acquired and b) was miscast by Thomas as a starting guard and No. 1 scoring option. Remains a key reserve for playoff-bound Hawks, but scoring and shooting percentages have dipped, to 15.9 points and 43 percent. Salary in 2008: $7.9 million. Current salary: $10.1 million. How he left: Traded to Warriors, for Al Harrington, on Nov. 21, 2008.
David Lee, Golden State Warriors Named an All-Star in final Knicks season, albeit as an injury replacement. Was the best member of a bad Knicks team, averaging 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds. Now a solid member of a poor Warriors team, averaging 16 points and 9.7 rebounds. Salary in 2008: $990,000. Current salary: $10.8 million. How he left: In sign-and-trade deal with Warriors, for Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf and Kelenna Azubuike, on July 8, 2010.
Nate Robinson, Boston Celtics Other than Crawford, the only Isiah-era Knick to play a major role for a playoff team. Helped fuel Celtics’ Game 4 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010 N.B.A. finals. Now averaging 7.7 points and shooting .412 as the Celtics’ sixth man. Salary in 2008: $1.3 million. Current salary: $4.2 million. How he left: Traded (with Marcus Landry) to Boston, for Eddie House, Bill Walker and J.R. Giddens, on Feb. 18, 2010.
Wilson Chandler, Knicks Thomas’s best parting gift — a talented, low-maintenance, high-scoring forward who always plays hard and improves every year. Averaging a career-best 17.4 points. Current salary: $2.1 million. Future: A free agent this summer, could be used in trade for Carmelo Anthony or let go to make room for Anthony.
ON THERE LAST LEGS hanging by a thread
Quentin Richardson, Orlando Magic Opened season as a key rotation player, became superfluous when Magic acquired Gilbert Arenas and Jason Richardson. Played 57 minutes in January. Salary in 2008: $8.1 million. Current salary: $2.3 million. How he left: Traded to Memphis, for Darko Milicic, on June 26, 2008.
Jared Jeffries, Houston Rockets Found niche as versatile defender in his final years with Knicks. Niche in Houston is between 13th and 14th seats on the bench. Has made 17 appearances this season, averaging 7.8 minutes. (Side note: Thomas, upon signing Jeffries, said he would “balance the plane ride.”) Salary in 2008: $5.6 million. Current salary: $6.9 million. How he left: Traded to Houston (with Jordan Hill) in three-team deal that brought Tracy McGrady to Knicks, on Feb. 18, 2010.
Renaldo Balkman, Denver Nuggets The hustle. The hair. The Rodman-like nose for the ball. There was little to enjoy about these Knicks, but Balkman’s frantic energy was something. He is more static now: He has played 44 minutes this season. (Side note: Balkman was drafted one spot ahead of Rajon Rondo in 2006.) Salary in 2008: $1.3 million. Current salary: $1.7 million. How he left: Traded to Denver for Taurean Green, Bobby Jones and a second-round pick, on July 28, 2008. (Jones and Green were later waived.)
Eddy Curry, Knicks Symbol of an era of overpaid underachievers. Peaked in 2006-7 (19.5 points a game), regressing ever since. Unable to stay healthy or in shape jeopardizing career. Has appeared in 10 games since start of the 2008-9 season. Salary in 2008: $8.9 million. Current salary: $11.3 million. Future: If Knicks cannot trade his expiring contract by Feb. 24, they will probably waive him.
WASHED UP,NOT IN THE ASSOCIATION steph should be ashamed of himself
Stephon Marbury Benched by Coach Mike D’Antoni. Refused a buyout. Took a buyout. Joined the Celtics. Played sparingly. Declined to re-sign with Celtics. Wanted better offer. Found no other offers. Went on YouTube. Ate Vaseline. Now playing in China. Salary in 2008: $19 million. How he left: Waived Feb. 24,2009.
Jerome James Often injured, always jovial, rarely in shape. Spent a lot of time on what came to be known as the Jerome James Memorial Stationary Bike. Presumed retired. Salary in 2008: $5.8 million. How he left: Traded (with Tim Thomas, Anthony Roberson) to Chicago for Larry Hughes on Feb. 19, 2009.
Malik Rose Consummate nice guy, veteran of two Spurs championship teams, tried best to infuse professionalism in a chaotic environment. Now a broadcaster for the Spurs. Salary in 2008: $7.1 million. How he left: Traded to Oklahoma City for Chris Wilcox on Feb. 19, 2009.
Mardy Collins Steady, selfless guard. Not particularly good at anything. Out of league after failing to make Washington Wizards last fall. (Side note: Paul Millsap was still on the board when Collins was drafted in 2006.) Salary in 2008: $967,000. How he left: Traded (with Zach Randolph) to Clippers on Nov. 21, 2008.
Fred Jones Won 2004 slam-dunk contest. Won 23 games in only season with the Knicks. Spent 2008-9 with Clippers. Has not been seen since. Salary in 2008: $3.3 million. How he left: Was not re-signed after 2007-8 season.
Randolph Morris When Knicks signed him straight out of college — via little-known loophole — Thomas said Randolph was like an extra first-round pick. Like an extra Mardy Collins. Salary in 2008: $810,000. How he left: Was not re-signed after 2007-8 season.

A Respectable Trade We All Can Live With
Tags al harrington, amare stoudemire, anthony randolph, bobcats, carmelo anthony, d.j. augustine, Danilo Gallinari, eddy curry, knicks, nuggets, raymond felton, rumor
By now I know you all have heard a rumor or two involving Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks but here is a trade scenario via bleacherreport.com that I really like for all parties involved.
It's a three team trade involving the Knicks,Bobcats and Nuggets.
Knicks get Carmelo Anthony
Ray Felton is having a career year and to keep it going strong after the All Star break Donnie Walsh should look to get him some help.A play making point guard who can backup Ray who will accept his role assisting the likes of Amar'e,Chandler and Melo.So how about Felton's ex teammate D.J. Augustine
Bobcats get Al Harrington,Aaron Afflalo and Bill Walker.
Al Harrington comes to ball every night,we as NYK fans saw his grind first hand last year and the Bobcats can use what he brings to the court. Afflalo is a player on the come up and would replace what they loose in Augustine.Bill Walker with added playing time will continue to improve,his three point range has improved within the last couple weeks alone.He would make that team really athletic all around with his dunking ability.
Nuggets get Stephen Jackson,Danilo Gallinari,Eddy Curry and Landry Fields
That's a package in my opinion the Nuggets should jump on without any hesitation.It would include a first round draft pick of course or Anthony Randolph.It allows the Nuggets to dump the salary of Al Harrington,gain youth in standout rookie Landry Fields and with Gallo and Action Jackson gives them help today for a playoff run.Not to mention Eddy Curry's contract
It isn't perfect and its allot of speculation but I'm sure this can be used as a framework to something we all can walk away happy about.

Time for some Mozgov?
With STAT's right knee sore and Shawne Williams serving his One Game suspension the Knicks will need some front court help tonight versus the Pistons. D'Antoni has recently said that Timofey is still a part of this team's immediate future, well I guess tonight is as immediate as it gets.
Knicks fans witnessed much of Mozgov's abilities early in the pre-season and some in the beginning of the season. Eventually D'Antoni pulled Mozzy from the rotation after the Knicks 3 and 8 start to give the team a offensive lift with moving STAT to the center roll. Since the move the Knicks did improve and were able to develop some unknown talent in Williams. But it's no secret that the Knicks are limited in the BIGS department and the eventual departure of Randolph these leaves the team with limited options. With this in mind The Mozgov Project may need to go back in effect tonight, with quality minutes from this guy in the second half of the season it can go a long way for this teams growth.
Lets see if the Coach listens to this GM...

Nuggets like Anthony Randolph more than we thought
Tags anthony randolph, cbssports, nuggets, rumors
Ken Berger from CBS Sports reports that the Denver Nuggets may now be interested in including Anthony Randolph in the possible Carmelo Anthony Deal. Previous rumors lead us to believe that the Nuggets were more concerned with Randolph being dealt in exchange for a draft pick first.

BuisnessInsider is reporting that a source informed them of a deal in place to send Anthony Randolph to the Pacers in exchange for a first rounder. If the Knicks plan to use that pick for the Melo deal I rather deal with the T-Wolves, that pick will be significantly higher than that of the Pacers.

The Post reported Thursday that Walsh was waffling on whether to trade Randolph to Minnesota for a first-round pick that could be used in an Anthony deal, but the Nets are the ones closest to landing him.
Walsh still could use an extra first-rounder in another deal before the Feb. 24 trade deadline.
"I won't comment on a private conversation," Walsh said.

Knicks Interested In Ridnour, Not Telfair

After losing three straight games its hard not to notice every small detail to the reasons why we're losing, but one that I believe has gone unnoticed is the lack of playing time for Anthony Randolph. Boston we didn't necessarily need him, Miami we needed some sort of spark in the second half, and in Cleveland Amare looked tired and in pain.
The Knicks are looking to acquire some outside help in the back court (Telfair), but the problems don't stop there. Amare is becoming spent, Turiaf still recovering while playing, andh Mozgov's slow learning it may be time to get Randolph some steady minutes in these next few games. According to reports he has been doing and saying all of the right things, he's has way to much talent to just spend his days on the DNP list every night. The emergence of Shawne Williams play has halted others playing time but we showed in the last few games that we need another force down low besides Ronny.
Yesterday's game(Cleveland 12/19) the Knicks had 4 of the 5 starters played 40 minutes or more, versus Boston the same this cannot continue, Chandler needs a break, Amare, etc. A total of 102 minutes for AR thus far for his talents is unacceptable.

The Knicks wanted their pick back for Randolph and the Rockets were not going to give them that since it is not lottery protected beyond the first pick. The Knicks don't appear headed back to the lottery, but you never know how an injury and a few bouncing ping pong balls could unexpectedly change things. Daryl Morey said a few years ago that he would never trade a pick without lottery protection. That apparently includes trading someone else's pick.

Anthony Randolphs Returns To The Golden State

Anthony Randolph went down with a sprained left ankle last Tuesday in practice, and the Knicks originally said he would be out for two weeks. But there Randolph was yesterday, going through a full practice with his teammates at the Knicks' Westchester facility. So what happened?
"That's for them older vets," Randolph said with a laugh after practice. "I'm still young, so I bounce back more quickly."
The 6-foot-11 forward will make his regular-season debut in a Knicks uniform tonight against the Magic. It has been almost 10 months since Randolph played in a game that counted after he missed the final 47 games of last season with the Warriors when he tore a ligament and fractured a bone in the same ankle Jan. 8 against the Kings.
RAND' OPENING: Anthony Randolph is defended by the Celtics' Nate Robinson during preseason action. Randolph is expected to make his regular-season Knicks debut tonight vs. the Magic.

RAND' OPENING: Anthony Randolph is defended by the Celtics' Nate Robinson during preseason action. Randolph is expected to make his regular-season Knicks debut tonight vs. the Magic.
Coach Mike D'Antoni said Randolph would definitely be in the rotation tonight, but he had yet to determine how he was going to work Randolph in.
"Somewhere, somehow, I've got to play him," D'Antoni said. "We'll figure it out. It's something I've got to look at and see how I can get him in there because I do want to get him in there."

BR The NBA's Top Players Destined For a Breakout This Season

Anthony Randolph (PF/C, NYK)
The 6’11″ 21-year-old was a top name on this list just one season ago, but after playing just 33 regular season games and averaging a mere 22.7 MPG (due to Don Nelson) the athletic power forward is getting the chance to make up for lost time in the New York Knicks' run-and-gun system.
Randolph has extreme upside, and has the arsenal to average a double-double on a nightly basis along with over a steal and block per game.
If Randolph can log starters minutes on a consistent basis, the young gun is capable of posting eye-popping statistics.

Anthony Randolph was the big name coming from the Warriors in the David Lee sign-and-trade. But he hasn't played big enough to merit a start tomorrow in Hartford against the Celtics.

A couple of things that stood out to me while watching “Real Training Camp” with the New York Knicks: (1) Amar’e Stoudemire was often playing center with the first unit, and (2) Originally projected starter Ronny Turiaf looked like he had no business being a starter.
Amar’e has experience playing center under coach Mike D’Antoni, but with his diverse offensive game and the matchup problems he creates, he’s better at power forward. Rookie Timofey Mozgov is still learning the NBA game, and Eddy Curry … well, yeah.
Which has opened the door for Anthony Randolph as the next in line to get a look at center. As the Knicks prepare for Sunday’s exhibition game with Milano (Italy), the 21-year-old Randolph has reportedly been getting some run at center with the first unit.
With the projected starting lineup including Ray Felton at point guard, Wilson Chandler at the two, Danilo Gallinari at small forward and Amar’e at the four, New York needs a center who can primarily rebound on both ends, block shots and defend the paint. A little offensive game would be nice, too, otherwise just somebody who will stay out of the way of the other scorers.
Randolph has the height for the position at 6-11, and he has good shot-blocking instincts and timing, but he’s still skinny. Listed at 225 pounds (lighter than Paul Pierce), he looks like he should be a big small forward rather than playing under the rim. D’Antoni is no stranger to unconventional lineups, however, so don’t be surprised if Randolph is lining up across from the likes of Dwight Howard, Al Horford and Andrew Bogut this season.
Who do you think should play center for the Knicks?

Anthony Randolph:
What he can contribute to this team.
“I have a lot of God-given ability that I think that I can bring to the team, as far as my athleticism and things like that. And I work my ass off. I love the game of basketball and I want to be good. And I feel if I have the opportunity and I’m in the right situation that I can be a great player in this league one day.”
Worst part of training camp?
“Worst part of training camp? [Pauses] There is no worst part of training camp. I mean, (I) play basketball for a living. I’m very blessed.”
What’s it like playing for Mike D’Antoni?
“I haven’t played for him yet, but uh…”
Toney Douglas:
When’s the first time he’s seen Eddy Curry this offseason?
“Today. I think he’s working out. Tomorrow we got training camp, I’m pretty sure he know that he gotta be in shape and stuff. He’ll be ready by tomorrow…”
Dealing with the herd of New York media.
“I don’t even read papers, to tell you the truth. I don’t do that. I just go out there and play my game and do what Toney Douglas do. [Laughs] For real. God gave me a gift to play basketball, make a living out of it. I love it. I love the game.”
I asked about his brother, Harry Douglas, who plays for the Atlanta Falcons.
“He’s doin’ good. They 1-1. They play New Orleans on Sunday. So, I’ll be watching that game.”
Ray Felton:
What do you think the difference between Chris Duhon last year and you this year will be in Mike D’Antoni’s system?
“Hey man, I’m not gonna say there’s no difference between anything man. I’m just gonna come in and play my game. Chris Duhon is Chris Duhon. Raymond Felton is Raymond Felton. So, I’m not gonna say nothing. Chris Duhon is a good friend of mine, so I’m not gonna say anything bad about him.”

Trades? Anthony Randolph has had enough of that sort of thing for one summer, having been dealt from the Warriors to the Knicks as the centerpiece of the deal that sent All-Star big man David Lee to the West. So when his name popped up in a rumor that would have sent him to Indiana for a first-round pick, or as part of a deal that would land disgruntled Portland guard Rudy Fernandez in New York, members of the Knicks brass quickly approached him.
“From everything they told me, right off the bat, from talking to the coaches and talking to [Knicks president] Donnie Walsh, they told me I will be here for many years,” Randolph told SN. “I haven’t been paying any attention to it. But I have been in there every day with the coaches, and they made it clear they want me here. Obviously, anyone can get traded, but this is home right now.”
Making a new home in the Big Apple is an interesting twist to the young career of Randolph, drafted by the Warriors with the 14th pick in 2008. His potential, at times, seems limitless. Walsh described him to reporters: “He’s a guy at 6-feet-11 who can basically jump over the basket. He can get the rebound and bring it down on the break and make a play. He’s gonna dunk on you if you’re not ready for it. He’s got an all-around game that I think can make him an elite player.
