Check out the +/- the last two games for the Knicks. Led by one Nate Robinson, the Knicks' bench has blown the last two opponents out of the water. +36 for Harrington, +32 for Robinson against the Grizzlies when the Knicks starters all checked in around 0, then +24 against the Suns when the Knicks starters were in the -.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns game was a revenge game for Nate, who the Suns drafted and traded immediately to the Knicks for Kurt Thomas.
Speaking of Kurt Thomas, he has been a part of three weird trades in the last few years.
First the Knicks trade him for Nate Robinson and Quentin Richardson. Big Advantage: team who gave up Thomas.
Next the Suns trade him and 2 first round picks to the Sonics for a second round pick. Huge advantage: team who got Thomas.
Finally, the Sonics move him to the Spurs for a first round pick and filler. Both teams come out well.
What a rollercoaster of value.
Furthmore, the Sonics got 3 first round picks for essentially laundering Thomas. Crazy.
