Shandon Anderson Heavily Shopped

Isiah Thomas's prime objective this week is to move Shandon Anderson, and having failed in that pursuit so far, the Knicks president may force the Knicks' versatile swingman onto the injured list against his will, according to a management official.

Thomas has pitched three different trades in the last week, and come up empty on all three: Anderson to Portland for Ruben Patterson, to Dallas for Tariq Abdul-Wahad, and to Toronto for Lamond Murray and another player. And after failing to move Anderson, Thomas, according to the official, instructed Anderson to undergo an MRI Monday -- ostensibly to learn more about the source of his migraines.
