New York- Desperate to improve on a 19-32 record that only a New Jersey Net could love, the Knicks are said to be in the hunt to land Tracy McGrady from the Houston Rockets as the trade deadline approaches. If in fact they do acquire TMac, who has missed most of the past two seasons and gained about 20 lbs in the process, it will give the Knicks a much needed boost in the fat overpaid black guy department, where they have been lacking since trading Zach Randolph last season.
"To me this deal is a no-brainer because it fortifies us in an area that has been critical to the Knicks identity since Isiah Thomas took over the team from Scott Layden ten years ago" said team president Donnie Walsh, speaking outside the team's always empty practice facility. "When people think of the New York Knicks, they think of fat overpaid black guys that don't try very hard, so we gotta do this".
"Don't get me wrong, we've gotten whiter with David Lee and more athletic with Nate (Robinson) but at the end of the day everybody knows what we're all about and I'm not about to upset the apple cart here. Sure we've got Eddie Curry who is basically a two footed manatee but he never gets near the court these days. TMac is a perfect fit for our system. He's way overpaid, past his prime, and he treats defense like its the H1N1 virus so Mike D'Antoni will love him. I can't think of a better compliment to Jared Jeffries! "
Walsh went on to rate the teams chances of acquiring McGrady at 60-40 and said he hopes to have some news by this Wednesday's loss against the Chicago Bulls.
