I don't think that the Knicks would trade any picks, seeing as how they're kind of depleted in that department.  If Bradley's contract wasn't so bad, I'd send him to New York.  I know that Phil prefers big guards, but he also loves a guy who can set the tone on defense, and Bradley wouldn't have to be a playmaker because that's not the nature of the triangle.  He's also a better shooter than Shumpert, but Shumpert is better at, you know, dribbling and passing, so nothing important, there (sarcasm), lol. ;D

There's no way Jackson makes this trade.  He wants maximum cap flexibility.  They've got their tank all shined up and are about to take it for a spin.

Great trade for Boston. Give up nothing of value. Gain loads of cap flexibility. And get a 2018 1st round pick!

Terrible trade for New York. Knicks not giving up cap space for Gerald Wallace, Jameer Nelson and expiring contracts of Brandon Bass and Marcus Thornton. That cap space is key to their immediate future. To acquiring star talent. Not 4 bench players. And it costs them a first round pick on top of it all to fill their cap with mediocrity. Terrible trade for NYK.

... so how are those players supposed to help the Knicks make the playoffs, again?
