It's like I think say Boozer may be a better player than David Lee, but if we can get Lee for $10 mill versus Booze for $16, I'm picking Lee every time. But I'm with you in your general concept that we would be better served in pursuing free agents before we make any trades. And I'm guessing Donnie Walsh also agrees with you 100% too. Or at least 93%. Good point. Anuj, I’m not certain I think Joe Johnson at near max salary ($16.5 mil) is better than Parker at $13.5.

Would you rather have Parker or Joe Johnson? In my humble opinion, the Knicks would be well served by trying to lock up JJ first. He would fit in with Lebron, Bosh, Boozer, Amare, or David Lee nicely. If I was Donnie Walsh, I'd try my hardest to bring Bosh/Johnson to NY (after making sure LeBron isn't coming).
