from espn insider:
Trade No. 1
Marbury, Renaldo Balkman and Fred Jones to Cleveland for Larry Hughes, Anderson Varejao and Damon Jones
The Knicks gain some perimeter defense and add a frontcourt player who can actually play a little defense. The Cavs get a true point guard along with an energy forward, Balkman, to replace Varejao, and they get rid of their $13.65 million obligation to Hughes for the 2009-10 season, allowing them to become major players in free agency the summer before James' contract expires.
Trade No. 2
Marbury, Balkman and Randolph Morris to Sacramento for Ron Artest, Kenny Thomas and Shareef Abdur-Rahim
Knicks fans will be wondering why Mike Bibby isn't in this deal, and the answer is this: If and when the Kings trade Bibby, they'll want a heck of a lot more long-term value than an expiring contract. This deal makes sense for Sacramento because it gets them out from under the $17.3 million they owe Thomas for '08-09 and '09-10 and the $12.8 million they owe Abdur-Rahim over those same two seasons. The Knicks like it because they get Artest without having to surrender David Lee.
Trade No. 3
Marbury, Jared Jeffries, Morris and Mardy Collins to Denver for Kenyon Martin, J.R. Smith, Eduardo Najera and Linas Kleiza
Again, you have to look at the attraction to the Nuggets of being able to get rid of Martin's contract, which pays him $59 million over this season and the next three, while also being able to pair Marbury in the backcourt with Allen Iverson. Smith and Kleiza are both better 3-point shooters than anyone the Knicks have now, and Najera could be subsequently dealt for a serviceable point guard.
Trade No. 4
Marbury, Morris and Jones to Minnesota for Marko Jaric, Theo Ratliff and Mark Madsen
This is about the stupidest trade the Knicks could possibly make, so therefore (based upon their ownership's track record) we cannot unilaterally discount it as a possibility. The Wolves would be ecstatic to get out from under their contract with Jaric, which pays him $6.6 million next season, $7.1 million in '09-10 and $7.6 million in '10-11. They'd also shed the $7.7 million they owe Madsen for the rest of this season and the next two.
