And once upon a time this was discussed:

quote:

The Knicks may be trying to join the threesome of Orlando, the Rockets and Clippers in what could amount to an incredible exchange of talent.

The deal would send Olajuwon to the Clippers and Sleepy Floyd to the Clippers or Knicks. Houston would receive Danny Manning and Loy Vaught from the Clippers, Roberts from Orlando and Gerald Wilkins from the Knicks, if he can be signed before the trade. Wilkins is an unrestricted free agent.

The Clippers would receive Olajuwon along with Jackson and Charles Oakley from the Knicks while giving up Manning and Vaught to Houston and Smith and Rivers to New York.

New York would receive Smith, Rivers and perhaps Floyd for Oakley, Jackson and Wilkins.

Orlando would receive two first-round draft picks, probably from the Clippers, for Roberts.



Roberts was the "key" to the deal.

And Chris Bosh was about to sign on the dotted line with the Rockets last summer until he got an eleventh-hour phone call from Pat Riley threatening to out him as gay if he didn't stay in Miami.
