How A Dahntay Jones Trade Would Work – Or Another Higher Paid Free Agent, For That Matter

Baron Davis Out Until This Time Next Year
In yesterday’s game four victory over the Miami Heat, Baron Davis pushed the ball towards the hoop during a fast break, then proceeded to collapse, while clutching his knee.

Knicks Shooting for a Championship
This has been quite a hectic off-season throughout the NBA, and the New York Knicks have been one of the most active teams.

Also, a fun fact about Mike Woodson: Woodson played ball with Knicks’ Interim General Manager Glen Grunwald at Indiana University.
