By DY_nasty Go To Postthe mcgrady trade is what fucked everything up
Tracy McGrady is heading to the New York Knicks, who now have more than $9 million of additional salary-cap space to use in free agency this summer.No it didn't that deal got them more cap space.
The Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks have agreed to terms that expanded the Houston-Sacramento deal into a three-way trade.
The Knicks acquired McGrady and Sergio Rodriguez from Sacramento; the Rockets get Kevin Martin and Hilton Armstrong from Sacramento, and Jordan Hill and Jared Jeffries from New York.
"This deal is about putting a team together, players who can help us now and in the future," general manager Daryl Morey said. "We're excited about how this sets us up for now and especially in the next year."
Houston also has the right to swap first-round picks with New York in 2011, and the Rockets also get New York's 2012 first-round pick.
Sacramento obtains Houston's Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey and New York's Larry Hughes.
A source close to the negotiations told ESPN NBA Insider Chad Ford that the Knicks' 2011 pick is top-1 protected, and the 2012 pick is top-5 protected.
The deal puts the Knicks more than $30 million below the salary cap on July 1, when they will pursue several members of a free-agent class headed by LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.
By The Frankman Go To PostNo it didn't that deal got them more cap space.Yeah without that trade we wouldn't have even been in the discussion for LeBron. The decision was the closest the Knicks have been to a championship since olajuwon blocked starks' 3 in game 6. Don't get me wrong it was a bad trade but the knicks have done far worse.
By masud Go To PostDon't get me wrong it was a bad trade but the knicks have done far worse.
Yeah, if you want to talk bad trades the Knicks' problems go back to Eddy Curry or something.

By reilo Go To PostlmaoIt's funny but it's also true. At least that trade gave me some excitement before the decision. Not that bad of a return on a first round pick (when compared to all the other things the Knicks have given up first round picks for)
