According to Bill Harris of Canoe, the Knicks and Raptors continue to talk seriously about a multi-player transaction that would send Vince Carter, Jalen Rose and one or two more players to the Garden for Allan Houston, Tim Thomas, Jerome Williams and one or two other players.

Some draft picks and cash might be exchanged as well.

Trade talks are heating up, since December 15th is the first day many player may be traded.

Stephon Marbury appears to be the only player on the Knicks roster who is untouchable, but while Nazr Mohammed and Jamal Crawford may be acquired if the Knicks received a knock out offer Thomas appears to be reluctant to trade either player.
