New York Knicks: The questionable trade that Antonio McDyess headlined

Among the flurry of trades made in the early 2000s, the New York Knicks sent out young players for veterans. Most of them did not work out, and the latest one in this edition of Trade History was not a transaction to look back on.

At the 2002 NBA Draft, the Knicks sent their first-round pick and two other players to the Denver Nuggets for a package centered around Antonio McDyess. The deal failed almost immediately.

What the Knicks traded

On draft night, New York sent Marcus Camby, Mark Jackson and the rights to Nene, who was just made the seventh overall pick, to Denver.
