Knicks/Raptors Trade

(1/9) > >>

$do11a biLL$:
The New York Knicks have acquired Toronto Raptors guard/forward Jalen Rose and a first-round pick in exchange for power forward Antonio Davis, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reports.

Davis was a likely target to be traded because of his expiring contract.

The Knicks have lost nine of their last 10 games.

Davis, who played for Toronto for four-plus seasons from 1999-2003, served a five-game suspension after going into the stands in Chicago during a confrontation between his wife, Kendra, and a fan. Davis played for the Bulls for 1½ seasons after being acquired from the Raptors.

The 37-year-old Davis, who spent the first six seasons of his career with the Indiana Pacers, was averaging just 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 36 games for the Knicks.

Rose, who turned 33 on Monday, is averaging 12.1 points -- his lowest mark since 1998-99 with the Pacers -- and 2.8 rebounds in 46 contests.

BizzyR.I.P.:
I can see Davis for Rose but why throw in a 1st rd pick? It's not worth it.

Twentytwofifty:
Is this a joke?  What the hell are the Raptors thinking?  Why would they give up a first round pick?

acbaylove:
First round pick > J.Rose + A.Davis combined. So the Knicks won.

Don Jacob:
yeah that's what i'm sayin, i don't understand the first round pick, it 's going to make the knicks better in the long run though, and it'll hurt the raptors
