Depsite signing a contract extension late last season, trade rumors continue to swirl around the Knicks' Kurt Thomas.

The latest deal has Thomas inked in as a piece in a puzzle which would see unhappy Raptor Vince Carter become a Maverick and Antoine Walker a Knick in a four-team deal.

The Knicks' side of the deal, according to the New York Daily News, would include multiple players, with Thomas ending up in Dallas or Golden State and Shandon Anderson going to Toronto. The Knicks would be getting Walker from Dallas and Erick Dampier from Golden State.

"You hear a lot of rumors so maybe something is going to happen," Thomas said yesterday. "I have no idea if I'm going to be here. I just know that when training camp starts, wherever I am, I'm going to be in great shape."

The Knicks can only get involved if the trade for Chicago's Jamal Crawford falls through, which is entirely possible.
