He's the Knicks' most valuable trade commodity, the only player they could possibly trade for a young star since Allan Houston's contract makes him virtually impossible to move.

Speaking of the rumours about Spree, to the Raptors, I wonder why the Raptors would have to give up the higher pick (#4) AND the better player (JYD) in this trade for #9 pick and Spree.
Before everybody jumps up to comment, JYD isn't necessary better than Spree, but he sure is younger, bigger, has a better contract and is a fan favourite in Toronto.

Rumor has it Houston could go to Houston for Griffin/Rice/Mobley.

I wouldn't make that trade either. But that scenario is a fine example of the problem with Houston - he can't be moved for just one or two players. He has to be traded for three players with reasonably sized deals - which means the Knicks will get the better end of the deal.

I wouldn't trade for houston because of his contract...you give him 2=3 years in a team, he gets lazy, and pulls a "howard"... :roll:

meanwhile the spree trade would only benefit the raps if they draft a C at #9 or sign one...

he has a guaranteed contract for a shiteload of money.......i don't see a reason for him to not get lazy as long as he gets the money....

so what u are saying is that he hasn't actually got lazy yet...but if he does decide to get lazy in the future, he has reason to?

before i start- i'm not juwan's agent...

i'm not sure what you mean there in howard being lazy, but i didn't see howard get fat and get out of shape after signing a big contract like other nba players have. and if you look at howards stats this year, he didn't have a 'lazy' year: 17.9ppg/7.5rebs/3asts and a career best 50%from 3pt land. most of his stats this year were improvements from last year's

after investing a fantasy pick on howard, i followed his play throughout this past nba season....

being on a sorry team like the nuggets, i figured howard would play his butt off, in hopes to get traded to a contending team. but he remained on the nuggets after the trade deadline passed. so i figured howard would throw in the towel for the rest of the season. but to my surprise, howard finished the season strong and emerged as the team's leader.

he probably isn't worth the contract he is signed for (but who really is these days?), but at least howard gave a more then respectable effort this year.

Just because he shoot .400% that doesnt mean hes a bad player as you say it. Sprewell is a great 1 on 1 player on offense and aswell at defence. Sure he isnt as good as he used to be, but no doubt about it that hes an above avarage player

It's truly frustrating you know Spree has given a lot on our team since he has been around then what our freaking GM wants to do is just trying to deal him to another team and maybe will get another PG in the draft if he get a higher pick. Well, I think Spree has declined a lot but you know he has give a lot on our team.

Spree can knock down open three´s so that why he took the shot, but is that the only argument you have to say that he sucks?

it doesnt matter if he missed dunks....Im pretty sure that even the greatest players of all time missed dunks including MJ so that doesnt make them bad, and that 9-9 shooting by Spree shows that he can shoot three´s, if you tought it was boring or not.
