Go Get A Shooter Now, Zeke

Zach Randolph for a bag of balls, well done Zeke. Now the problem is that the Knicks need a shooter. Enter Rashard Lewis. This guy is perfect as the 3 for the Knicks. He can score at will and is will make the opponent work on defense. This can only be done as a sign and trade thought, so this should work.

Sonics sign Lewis (27 years old) for 5 years and $65 million. Seattle then trades Lewis to NY for Davis Lee ($2.1 mil per year for 2 years left), Nate Robinson ($2.55 mil per year for 2 years left, and Malik Rose, who is in the final year of his contract which pays him $7 million this season. The cap numbers work, the players work, and this should be a done deal.

Picture the starting lineup of Eddy Curry, Zach Randolph, Rashard Lewis, Starbury, and Crawford. Not a bad starting 5 in the Leastern Conference now is it?


Now if the Knicks could only guard someone.....

Good luck with Zebo. I think there needs to be an over/under on his first police "interaction" in the tri-state area.
