One trade that is making the rounds would involve the Knicks sending Zach Randolph and the rights to the #6 pick to Philadelphia for a smaller contract, such as Reggie Evans and the rights to the #16 pick—after July 1st (when Philadelphia’s cap space kicks in). New York would move into position to have significant cap space in the summer of 2010 (possibly to make a run at LeBron James) by unloading the 17.3 million dollars owed to Randolph in 2010/11, and would still be able to keep David Lee around.

...My 1st reaction as many others is probably NO. I am really not sure if shedding that much salary is really worth dropping down 10 spots in the draft when we need some young talent and the drop off from Zach Randolph to Reggie Evans.

As some people have suggested we shouldn't wait around for LeBron James and hope he signs cause frankly there are many teams who want to do the same. The one idea that really stood out to me was to not wait for LeBron and pull a Detroit Pistons and get a bunch of guys who are top 10 in there positions.
