We're Free, We're Free.... of TimThom!!!

The Knicks just traded TimThom, Michael Sweetney and some combination of draft picks for Eddy Curry and Antonio Davis.

Hoorah!!! Its about time. TimThom was using up a valuable roster position on the Knicks, and preventing Trevor Ariza from getting the minutes he's earned. It does not appear to be a cost-savings move for the Knicks, but it is not that bad either. The Knicks are going to trade Tim Thomas and final contract year for $13 million and change for Antonio Davis and his final contract year for $13 million in change. So the Knicks will have the $13 million coming off of the books after this year regardless, whether it be TimThom or Davis. And they got Eddy Curry for Sweetney to boot.

I like Sweetney - but he's a 6'5" PF who can't jump. Curry brings legitimate NBA size, as well as a pre-existing heart condition. I'll take my chances. TimThom also has a heart problem - they can't find it (insert rim shot here)

The wait is over. You are Allan Houston free!
