Knicks - Berlin Trade

[New York]

New York Knicks Send
Nate "Tiny" Archibald
Wesley Person
Vernon Maxwell
Mark Eaton 
Roy Tarpley

Berlin ALBA Sends
Rick Barry
2031 ALBA 2nd Rounder

New York Accepts. Tiny was going to stick around after Pre-Season as my 2nd or 3rd PG (either ahead or behind of Leavell) but I feel Rick Barry can have a bigger role on my roster this season either as a 6th man or starting next to Dantley. Person, Maxwell, and Eaton were all likely on the cut list after Pre-season so they are used to make cap work. Tarpley I would've liked to keep as my insurance big because he can score but the future 2nd for him was a last minute addition to make salaries work. Nice dealing with you as always Plossl.

Berlin accepts. I honestly never wanted Barry...I threw him a MLE offer, never expecting to get him, but hoping to be able to get something for him in the trade market if I signed him. That market never materialized, but luckily this deal allows me to get someone else I threw an exception offer at...Archibald. Now I get the depth I was looking for, and I have a little more flexibility to make other deals. Nice, painless deal as always NY. I'm sure Barry will lead you to a repeat title.
