JASON TERRY OUT, RUDY FERNANDEZ IN

Pappy Knuckles promised that some changes would be made, but nobody guessed that Jason Terry would be one of them. The New York Knicks traded him and a 2009 2nd round draft pick to the Houston Rockets for Rudy Fernandez. Preorders for Fernandez jerseys at NBAStore.com have already sold major numbers.

"Truth be told, I never liked Jason all that much. I think we'll do a lot better with Rudy." - Rasheed Wallace

"Terry was a bum." - James Posey

"I don't want to say anything bad about Jason because we played in Dallas together for a long time. I'm just happy we have somebody like Fernandez coming to New York." - Dirk Nowitzki

Jason Terry will add new shorts to his collection. He has been traded to Houston.

With the new addition to the team, C.J. Miles will return to the starting lineup at shooting guard, with Rudy Fernandez at small forward. Coach Knuckles believes that this trade will lead to more wins sooner than later. "Rudy is a crafty scorer who passes well and will allow us to push the pace. I was disappointed when I was unable to draft him, so picking him up now is a great feeling."

Rumors have surfaced that J.J. Redick may be the next player to get shipped out of town if his play doesn't improve. He has yet to make an impact in any area of the game. Time will tell whether or not any more Knicks will be wearing a new jersey.
