Knick Van Exel?

The Knicks are getting infinitesimally close to solidifying a sign-and-trade arrangement with the Warriors accenting epicenter Erick Dampier; and you thought Jamaal Magloire has seen his last All-Star daylight now that the Hornets have shifted to the Western Conference.

Frustrated at being unable to entice various teams to commit to an inordinately larger deal, Isiah Thomas, according to a plant foreman, is attempting to push ahead by his lonesome. Engineering such a caper minus a middleman or two, of course, figures to be considerably more expensive.

Aside from acquiring Dampier, the Knicks may be obliged to relieve the Warriors of Nick Van Exel's bloated contract. Logic dictates Chris Mullin wouldn't dare recruit free agent Derek Fisher to subsidize Speedy Claxton at the point if the Golden State exec didn't have a port to unload Little Nicky's $25.5M, two-year guarantee; if he's not heading to New York, go to sleep on him being shipped out somewhere.

Compensation should not be nearly as problematical as it was before Mullin promoted Adonal Foyle to the starting lineup by virtue of investing $41M in his re-signing. Now all the Warriors need is a competent backup, which the Knicks can provide in Nazr Mohammed. After that it's simply a matter of filling in the blanks with players on the end of their contracts (Dikembe Mutombo and Othella Harrington) until the amount comes within 15 percent (plus 100G) of Van Exel's salary and whatever Dampier re-enlists for.
