Basher Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Knicks Trade Draft Pick To Raptors In Exchange For Three WinsFrom TheOnion Just minutes before the NBA trade deadlinepassed last Thursday, New York GM Isiah Thomas traded the Knicks' second-round draft pick to Toronto in return for three of the Raptors' victories. "We looked at a lot of offers, but with this deal, we knew exactly what we were getting,"said Thomas, whose critics say this move is only a short-term solution to the Knicks' problems.

Our fans have been calling for more wins all season, and that's exactly what we've given them."Insiders report that Thomas had also been working on a trade in which Houston would receive all the Knicks' 2006-2007 victories in return for Tracy McGrady, but the deal fell apart after the Rockets said that would "not be nearly enoughto help them contend.
