I think they could trade him, but only if they get someone lot better in return, for example, Lee and 1 or 2 other guys for Bosh. But Knicks seem to be too set on getting one or even two of the leagues elite players, they could easily build their team around Lee, Robinson and some FA available, who's young enough, but not elite player yet.

Sign back Lee and Robinson for a 1 yr. contract . . . ( Just like Ben Gordon's )

Yes, I'd say they'd rather take their chances in those guys signing offer sheets elsewhere and if the price was right, matching them.

That's probably a lot more credible than some of the half-assed made up NBA Live rumours in this thread, actually.

Eddie Jordan Agrees to be 76'ers New Head Coach
The Philadelphia 76ers have found their next head coach, reaching an agreement in principle with Eddie Jordan to end a search that lasted nearly three weeks.
Jordan was offered the job on Friday and made the decision later that night to coach the Eastern Conference playoff team. He becomes the 22nd coach in franchise history and third since the start of last season.
Jordan, fired by the Washington Wizards in November, was one of two candidates that interviewed twice with Sixers president Ed Stefanski.
The Wizards owe Jordan nearly $4 million next season and would have to pay the difference on the contract from Jordan’s new team. The length of the contract and Jordan’s salary were not immediately known.
Jordan is 230-288 in coaching stints with the Wizards and the Sacramento Kings.
Jordan played at Rutgers and has ties with Stefanski from their four seasons together with the New Jersey Nets. Jordan was an assistant when the Nets played in two straight NBA finals and Stefanski served in various positions in the organization including general manager.
“I saw firsthand the immense impact Eddie Jordan had in helping the Nets reach two NBA finals and as the head coach in Washington, he consistently put his teams in a position to win on a nightly basis,” Stefanski said in a statement. “He embodies all the qualities I was looking for in the next head coach of the Sixers and we are very excited to have him in Philadelphia.”
Jordan did not immediately respond to phone and text messages.
“We had had some tremendous success together,” Jordan said before his first interview with the Sixers. “There’s a lot of positives in that, a lot of hard work in that.”
Sixers assistant coach Jim Lynam was waiting for the news to become official.
“If it comes to pass, obviously I’d be happy for him,” Lynam said by phone. “Eddie Jordan’s a friend.”
Mike O’Koren, one of Jordan’s friends and former assistants, said Jordan was a perfect fit for an emerging team like the Sixers. O’Koren, who was fired along with Jordan when the Wizards got off to a 1-10 start, will likely join Jordan on the Sixers bench.
“I got a text from him saying things were moving in the right direction,” O’Koren said on Friday night. “I thought it would happen when he did communicate with me. If he gets a job, I know I have a job. He’s a good teacher.”
Philadelphia went 41-41 and was eliminated in six games by the Orlando Magic. The job has been open since Tony DiLeo stepped down on May 11 and returned to the front office. DiLeo took over when Maurice Cheeks was fired in December.
DiLeo, who led the Sixers to a 32-27 record, was given lukewarm endorsements by several Sixers players after a one-sided, season-ending loss at home in Game 6 against Orlando
Led by a nucleus of Andre Iguodala(notes), Elton Brand(notes) and Thaddeus Young(notes), the Sixers have made the playoffs two straight seasons and were knocked out in the first round each time. Star point guard Andre Miller(notes) is an unrestricted free agent.
Jordan emerged as the winner among a group of candidates that included Boston Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau, Dallas Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey and Sixers scout Chris Ford.
The Sixers also interviewed Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis and spoke with Villanova coach Jay Wright.
Even former Sixers great Charles Barkley endorsed Jordan, saying he “overachieved” with the Wizards.
Casey was the only other known candidate to interview twice with Stefanski. Stefanski, who has declined comment throughout the search, was attending the NBA draft combine in Chicago and was not expected back until the weekend.
Jordan had his first head coaching job in Sacramento from March 1997 until 1998, when he was fired after going 33-64. He was replaced by Rick Adelman, who led the Kings to eight consecutive winning seasons and playoff berths.
The Wizards fired Jordan in November early in his sixth season with the club after 197 victories and four playoff appearances.
