Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reports that Wally Szczerbiak could be traded to the Knicks this summer. Szczerbiak?s father revealed that the Timberwolves would be willing to trade his son.  "I think there is a small chance that he could be traded," said Walter Szczerbiak. "At least that is the speculation I get from (Timberwolves vice president) Kevin McHale. "If they feel they're getting a player in return who fits into what they're trying to do, they won't hesitate to pull the trigger."

Wally has been mentioned in many trade rumors because of his reported differences with Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett and because of his contract situation. He will be a free agent next season and wants an extension before that happens. The Timberwolves are unwilling to offer him a $90 million deal, but Szczerbiak will not demand the maximum. However, like any player, "he wants the team to show appreciation for the fact he's been doing the right things.? According to Walter.

Isola writes that the latest trade rumor is a three-weay deal between the ?Wolves, Knicks and Pistons. Szczerbiak would go to the Knicks while Latrell Sprewell would end up in Detroit. The Timberwolves would get Jerry Stackhouse from the Pistons. Other players would have to be involved to make the cap numbers work.
