Marc Berman of the NY Post writes: So much for the Knicks obtaining Glenn Robinson to replace Latrell Sprewell at small forward. Robinson's arrest Saturday outside Chicago on charges he assaulted his former fiancee and carried an illegal firearm has killed any chance that the Knicks will reconsider the Bucks' offer.

Before the draft last month, the Knicks rejected a Robinson/Ervin Johnson-for-Spree swap, although upper management was split on the issue. Don Chaney, sources said, liked the trade because it made the Knicks bigger and younger at small forward - which some in the organization believe to be a higher priority than getting bigger at center.

Marc Berman writes that the 6-8 Robinson's impending legal troubles and character issues have now torpedoed his trade value. Sources say Robinson has been the most shopped player in the league this summer, along with Vin Baker. Robinson had a reputation for being lazy and had prior off-the-court issues, including a 1999 arrest for disorderly conduct outside a Miami nightclub.
