不好不壞的交易  Jordan Hill 到底如何


The New York Knicks are getting closer to reaching the Houston Rockets’
demands for Tracy McGrady(notes) and his $23 million expiring contract, league
 sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Knicks and Rockets have designed the framework of a deal that would unload
 New York’s Jared Jeffries(notes), Jordan Hill(notes) and either Al Harrington
(notes) or Larry Hughes(notes) for McGrady, Joey Dorsey(notes) and Brian
Cook(notes).

As talks stood on Monday, the price of dumping the burdensome contract of
 Jeffries □ who is owed $6.9 million next season □ comes with the Knicks
 and Rockets exchanging 2011 first-round picks and the Knicks’ 2012 first
-round choice going to Houston. New York also might include a 2010 second
-round pick.

The Utah Jazz own the Knicks’ first-round pick in 2010.

The completion of the deal isn’t imminent, but sources involved in the discussions
 are increasingly confident that after months of back and forth, which intensified
 over All-Star weekend, an agreement is within reach.

One of the hang-ups in the deal, sources said, could be the Knicks’ inclusion
 of either Harrington or Hughes. There are slight variations of the trade
 that would change depending on which of the two veteran Knicks’ expiring
 contracts are included. With Harrington over Hughes in the deal, the Rockets
 wouldn’t need to include Cook.

For the Knicks, the trade would accomplish two important things: First, it
 would get Jeffries’ salary cleared out, something general manager Donnie
 Walsh has tried to do since taking the job. This would give the Knicks even
 more flexibility to be a major player in this summer’s free-agent market
. Also, the Knicks want to take a good look at McGrady and let him play as
 much of a role as he can handle the rest of the season. They may consider
 re-signing him for next season, based on his performance.

Rockets GM Daryl Morey would get Hill, the untested eighth pick in the 2009
 draft, and first-round picks that could prove valuable. This will get the
 Rockets a significant measure of value for McGrady, who they exiled in December
. McGrady, sources said, is excited about the possibility of joining the
Knicks.
