My money says that Ellis doesn't end up a Knick because NY is committed firmly to cap flexibility in 2010. Now, if we can off one of our three year contracts in the process, I think NY would move forward. If they would take Zach and deal Ellis and a two year contract, NY could cut salary and still add a player? Would Golden State deal Al Harrington and a resigned Ellis for Eddy Curry, Nate Robinson and Malik's contract??? Personally, I like Harrington as a SF. He is a shooter. Imagine NY starting Ellis, Crawford, Harrington, Gallinari and Jeffries...... That is a squad that can spread the floor OUT big time. The shooters would give Ellis the lane and 1:1 all day long, or it would create wide open 3's for Crawford, Harrington and Gallinari.....

I would be extremely surprised if the Warriors didn't open the vault for Ellis ... I live out here in the Bay Area, and the fans are upset enough that Davis bolted ... no way (IMO) that Golden State moves Ellis at this point.
