Isiah Thomas is looking to make a move and hope for the best.He is willing to trade David Lee to save his chair.

Artest is earning $7.8 million this season and will make a relative-bargain $8.45 million next year, but can opt out of that final season before free agency starts on July 1.

With the Knicks over the salary cap, unless they do a sign-and-trade, they could only offer him the mid-level exception for five years, so he’d have to leave millions on the table.
