The Knicks like Ramon Sessions. It is known.

Sessions is on the trading block. And New York needs help at the point. Match made in heaven, right? Marc Berman seems to think so. He suggested that Glen Grunwald might be able to acquire Sessions for Toney Douglas:

If the Knicks ever got Sessions from Cleveland, it would be a boon for D’Antoni’s job security. Toney Douglas’ option for next year was picked up at $2 million, so he could be of interest to the Cavaliers.

via NYPost.com – Knicks could pursue Cavaliers guard Sessions.

There are a couple of problems with that scenario. The biggest? Sessions’ salary. According to Hoopshype, he’ll make $4.2 million this season. Douglas is making just $1.1 million. With the Knicks over the salary cap, they’d need to match the incoming and outgoing salaries to make the deal.

That brings us to the second problem. The Knicks’ current salary structure looks like this: Carmelo Anthony, Amar’e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler are making a whole lot of money, while the rest of the team makes practically nothing. To match the salaries, Glen Grunwald would need to include, say, Renaldo Balkman ($1.6 million) and Bill Walker ($900k). That’d still be a pretty good deal… if Cleveland wanted any part of Balkman.

Landry Fields is playing very well – what about using him in a deal? He makes even less than Douglas – just $788k this season. Jerome Jordan might generate some interest, but he makes just $473k. And the players signed as free agents this year – Baron Davis, Mike Bibby, Steve Novak, Jared Jeffries and Jeremy Lin – can’t be traded until March. (And none of them make very much money either.)

Now, unlikely doesn’t mean impossible. Grunwald could enlist the help of a third team that’s under the cap and willing to absorb some of the excess salary. But those teams are usually compensated with draft picks, and the Knicks don’t have a lot of those to throw around either.
