Here’s the article — sounds like Ridnour is the best case scenario for the knicks, so maybe it’s not so far fetched:

Crazy! Do you think the W’s could get him back for Acie Law?

Now the rumors are that he’ll be traded to minnesota for sebastian telfair (!!) or, if the knicks can get their preference, luke rideour. Quite the fall from untouchable status…

At least the W’s are the only team to fuck that one up. I don’t care how crazy he is, he is talented enough to get more minutes than he is.

He is good when he is on the court and the potential is still there if only his knee will hold out. Wright has had injury problems but never really showed the promise in the NBA. Smith is more like it, but I never quite saw the promise in Wright that I saw in Randolph.
