Excerpt:
There figures to be a roster makeover in New York, and media speculation is already swirling about a Knicks-Suns deal. One paper had the Knicks trying to coax Steve Nash to Manhattan — where he lives in the summer — while another had D’Antoni trying to dump high-priced guard Stephon Marbury while bringing in favorites Leandro Barbosa and Diaw.
Kerr responded to those reports on KTAR radio with tongue firmly in cheek.
“I think it makes sense to move Amaré and Steve for Marbury and Eddy Curry,” Kerr said. “Come on. Since Mike is now the coach of the Knicks, does he just get to take all of our guys, too? I don’t think it works that way.”
Kerr said he was pleased with Diaw’s performance in the playoffs and is looking forward to the new coaching staff working with Diaw, Barbosa and Stoudemire.
“If we come back next year with our core, which we should, add the 15th pick (in next month’s draft) and a couple of free agents, then I expect to be one of the top teams in the NBA, which we were this year,” he said.
“If you watch the Spurs series, we weren’t that far off. Maybe we just need more time together.”

I seriously doubt that he's talking about using the mid level to get some guys but if he does, that means we can add at least 2 role players. That and the 15th pick would make a pretty solid bench. But I bet he's talking about using the vet min to sign Giri and Skinner.
