It is being widely reported that the Knicks are after Antoine Walker and are discussing how to get the Charlotte Bobcats to draft him and then ship him to New York for veterans in the final years of their deals.

"I've had conversations with Isiah, but we can't get to the point where we've had an agreement," Bobcats GM Bernie Bickerstaff said.

Among other unprotected players the Knicks have interest in are shooting guard Aaron McKie and Malik Rose.  Both have long-term deals.

Bickerstaff has said that the Knicks have attractive assets to deal so discussions may continue up until the expansion draft.
