Apparently, the Knicks would RECEIVE the conditional 1st round draft pick, not GIVE it to Phoenix. I like the sounds of that much better. Isiah, if he doesn't fuck it up, has the opportunity to add some serious size and youth and athleticism to the front court over the next few years as their now stacked guard/small forward rotation matures. Should be interesting. C'mon Isiah....

...also in the news. The amnesity provision of the new CBA allows a team a one-time cost saving measure. A team can cut a player from the roster, and although their salary still gets paid, and still counts against the cap, it does not count on the luxury tax. So this means the Knicks are likely to waive Allan Who?ston now, rather than waiting for his contract to expire in 2007. Woo-hooooo!!!
