Quote:Rookies On The Block?
Feb 8 - Early this season, Isiah Thomas said he would not trade his three rookies. However a league source said Nate Robinson and David Lee could be included in trades, reports the New York Post. Small forward Trevor Ariza could be included, too. According to the newspaper, Eddy Curry and rookie Channing Frye are the only untouchables.
The league source also told the newspaper that Isiah Thomas would not have drafted Robinson at 21 had he known Larry Brown would end up his coach.
