[Update] It looks like I was wrong about Isiah, he did trade away an expiring contract for dead weight. Trevor Ariza and Penny were traded to the Magic for Francis.
By the time you read this, it might already be a done deal. The New York Times is reporting that a deal to send Francis to the Knicks was “more likely than not” and the deal could be done by as early as Wednesday.
The Knicks would get Francis and Pat Garrity for Jamal Crawford, Maurice Taylor, and Trevor Ariza. Penny Hardaway’s expiring contract isn’t part of the deal. Maybe Isiah Thomas finally figured out that at least keeping some dead weight that’s going to expire is better than taking on more dead weight. Who am I kidding, the entire Knicks team is dead weight.
