Antoine Walker seems himself playing for the Knicks next season.

After a conversation with fellow Chicago native Isiah Thomas, Walker said he believes he'll eventually wind up playing in New York this season.

"I think I'm going to be in a Knick uniform," said Walker. "That's my prediction, but we'll wait and see."

Walker added, "I've got to go. There's too many negative things with the situation in Dallas."

For a Knick deal to work, it's believed that the Mavericks would need to bring in a third team.  Mark Cuban wanted to figure out a way to get Vince Carter to Dallas but was rebuffed by Toronto.

Kurt Thomas would likely wind up in Dallas in such a scenario, and Dikembe Mutombo would be important to the deal because of his expiring contract.

Meanwhile, Jamal Crawford's agent, Aaron Goodwin, said Thomas and Bulls GM John Paxson can finish off a sign-and-trade deal for Crawford if the two sides sit down and talk.

"I think if they can get together, they can make something happen," Goodwin said.
