We all know that they're losing Artest next year to free agency, so why not trade him off in a package that will take Brad Miller's contract off your hands as well for a young prospect (Balkman) and E. Curry. As for Amundson/Booth/Jones/and Mourning (who will not play a game with Sac due to injury), they all comes off the book this year, with Malik Rose coming off the following year. So basically your trading Miller for Curry, and hoping that making Curry the post up option, can get him back to what he was last year.

Next up NyK:
The Knicks probably will be the immediate beneficiary from the trade. First off your breaking up the Curry/Zbo combo that was a complete failure. Now your getting almost everything that the Knicks is missing. With Dalembert your taking on a bigger contract than Curry, but your getting better results. If you team up Dalembert and Zbo, now your front line starts to look good. You get point/reb and block shots. Also you get perimeter defense in Artest. Finally a player that can limit his man while scoring points as well within the flow of the game. As a bonus the Knicks also pick Haslem, who they can use as a trade chip to bring in a better point guard if they're remaining points don't work out.
Line-Up
c. Dalembert
pf. Randolph
sf. Artest
sg. Crawford
pg. Collins
bench:
Lee/Richardson/James/Jeffries/Robinson/Chandler/Morris
Next up Miami:
Heats also benefit right away from trade, plus they get some salary cap relief within the next two years. Marbury and B. Miller would help the team right now. Evans can do the dirty work minus the scoring that Haslem gave them. As for trading Mourning, it was done just for the purpose of salary. Miami can resign him next year, which will allow him to retire as a member of the Heat.

Next up Phi:
for the 76ers, this is strictly salary cap relief. First they rid themselves of Dalembert contract for a lower salary (Blount). That saves them about 3mil. Plus they add three more expiring contracts Parker, Williams & Williams(11mil). This put way under the salary cap next year. The only players they will have sign are: Blount, Green, Smith, Carney, Iguodala, and Miller (expiring contract)

Yes I am a Knick fan and I know I helped my team out, but I think all the other teams did well too. Interested in see what you guys think.
