http://www.nypost.com/sports/knicks/44773.htm -- 這篇新聞中提到了I.Thomas跟Portland的交易已經宣告破裂，Blazers另有 新的計畫 The Knicks' new boss was attempting to make Rasheed Wallace a Knick, but talks with Portland broke down yesterday and the Blazers' bad-boy power forward appeared headed to Dallas as part of a package for Antawn Jamison, sources said. Thomas' bid for Wallace is futile since, according to a league executive familiar with the Blazers' thinking, Keith Van Horn's maximum contract needed to be part of the package to get the salaries to add up to Wallace's $17 million. "Keith is the only player [Portland] could get and become a worse team defensively," the league executive said. "There is no deal with them. If they take Keith for his two more years, they might as well just pay Rasheed." 這裡提到Portland會認為如果要吃下Van Horn的合約，那倒不如他們自己再 跟Wallace續約就行了，況且Van Horn對於Blazers不會有太大的幫助.... In addition, Blazers GM John Nash, who had the same position with the Nets when John Calipari made the call to draft Van Horn, knows too well the forward's deficiencies. The Blazers would have been interested in Kurt Thomas, Frank Williams and Michael Doleac, but the contracts wouldn't add up. 而Blazers並非不願交易，只是他們要的球員在薪資上無法跟Wallace對等.... The fans at the Garden on Thursday let Thomas know what they wanted with their first-ever "Fire Chaney" chants during the loss to Jeff Van Gundy. But Thomas was not ready to end the depressing Chaney Era yesterday. Chaney will coach tonight against the Bucks, but there's hardly an assurance he will last this five-game homestand. 這段提到Thomas也已經跟Chaney談過，Chaney目前將會繼續執教尼克，但是 這不代表Chaney可以安然渡過這5場主場賽事，NY Post news另一篇評論中是 有提到Thomas目前還沒準備好要換教練.... -- --
