Covers New York Sports Express Best of Manhattan 1903 Readers Poll Results advertisement NEW YORK SPORTS EXPRESS Best Knicks trade Latrell Sprewell to Minnesota, Terrell Brandon to Atlanta, Glenn Robinson to Philadelphia and Keith Van Horn to New York. This is a great trade for the Knicks, despite outward appearances. What Van Horn lacks in toughness, athleticism, leadership qualities, and statistical productivity, he more than makes up for in the ability to hit the wide-open 17-foot jumper at least one-third of the time, and this is an important part of Don ChaneyÂs offense. True, Van Horn is too weak a rebounder to play the four spot, and canÂt play defense at the three spot, and he often looks lost on the court despite the fact that he apparently has no other interests in life, but he will reenergize a fan base that for too long has had only good, overachieving black players to cheer for. GM Scott Layden should be applauded for this bold move to lock up a disappointing young player with a max contract for many years to come. Best Rookies The New Mets | |
