Winners will appear in the Daily News March 31, 2010 © RBDN McGrady trade biggest at deadline By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer The Cleveland Cavaliers hope they took another step toward keep- ing LeBron James. The New York Knicks are in better position for a run at him — and a second superstar, too. And they aren't the only team lin- ing up for a chance to become a sum- mer spender. The Knicks acquired former scor- ing champion Tracy McGrady on Thursday in a three-team swap with the Houston Rockets and the Sacra- mento Kings. The deal left them on the verge of being able to offer two maximum salary contracts to the 2010 free agent class that could be headlined by James. Amare Stoudemire could be in the market for one if he decides to leave Phoenix — where he'll again finish the season after spending the weeks before the deadline atop the trade rumor mill. ''I've maintained that unless there was something out there that improved our team and put us in a lot better position moving forward, then we weren't going to do anything. And that was the case,'' Suns general manager Steve Kerr said. Chicago, Washington and Sacra- mento all cleared enough salary in moves before the 3 p.m. EST dead- line to be able to afford a max player, and the Los Angeles Clippers got close. The Cavaliers gave James more reason to stay home. They acquired forward Antawn Jamison on Wednesday, a deal that could make the Eastern Conference leaders even stronger. ''We're trying to build a franchise that all players want to be a part of, that can have sustainable success and do things at a high level,'' general manager Danny Ferry said. ''Clearly LeBron's an important player for Northeast Ohio, for Cleveland, for the Cavaliers. It's all ground in win- ning, too. Antawn can help us win. We're excited what he can bring to us over the next few years.'' The Knicks can afford James and perhaps someone else in the class that could include Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. By including Jared Jeffries in the deal for McGrady, whose $22.5 mil- lion contract expires after this sea- son, the Knicks removed $6.9 mil- lion from next season's payroll and left them with about $32 million in salary cap space. Those top free agents would each earn a little more than $16.5 million in the first season of a max deal. ''Let's put it this way. I think this gives us flexibility. A lot of flexibili- ty in a lot of different directions,'' Knicks president Donnie Walsh said. ''I know everybody is focused on individual players, but we're not. We're focused on putting together the best team we can. So that takes a lot of different directions and we have a lot of time to figure out which way we're going to go, but it is a lot of cap space.'' In the meantime, the Knicks hope McGrady can lead them into the playoff race. He's only played six games this season after returning from knee surgery, but is convinced he has plenty left. ''I can't wait to get back on the court to continue doing what I love to do,'' McGrady said in a statement on his Web site. ''I am excited to be headed to New York and look for- ward to wearing a Knick uniform. I know that I can and will contribute to this organization. It's a dream to play in New York and there is nothing that compares to playing in the Garden.'' To get him, the Knicks sent Jef- fries and rookie Jordan Hill to Hous- ton along with a protected first-round pick in 2012, and gave the Rockets the right to exchange first-round picks in 2011. The Rockets will get high-scoring guard Kevin Martin and forward Hilton Armstrong from Sacramento, while the Kings received Larry Hughes from the Knicks, Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey from Houston and sent guard Sergio Rodriguez to New York. The Knicks also dealt Nate Robinson to Boston along with Mar- cus Landry for Eddie House, J.R. Giddens, Bill Walker and a future conditional second-round pick. ''I don't think we would have done the trade if we didn't think he'd make us better,'' Celtics coach Doc Rivers said of Robinson. ''He absolutely makes us better. He gives us speed, No. 1, and he gives us another ballhandler. He gives us a guy that can have a night. ... The other thing he does is give us defense because he can pressure the ball.'' The Bulls were busy, trading power forward Tyrus Thomas to Charlotte for a future, protected first- round pick and the expiring contracts of guards Flip Murray and Acie Law. Chicago also dealt guard John Salmons to Milwaukee for Hakim Warrick and Joe Alexander, whose contracts also are expiring. ''You can see the price to be paid to gain flexibility and in a lot of cases, it was very, very high. You've got to give something to get some- thing,'' Bulls GM Gar Forman said. ''That's why I think we feel so good today that we kept the nucleus intact, our starting lineup intact, and yet gained the type of flexibility that we wanted to gain to make that next step in the process we wanted to make this summer.'' The Wizards and Clippers also shed salary in the three-team deal that sent Jamison to the Cavaliers. They joined the Knicks, New Jersey Nets, Miami Heat and Bulls as the teams with the most money avail- able.

US men beat Norway 6-1 VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — It took nearly all 60 minutes for the U.S. hockey team to get the blowout it wanted. Nursing a two-goal lead for much of the final two periods, the Americans broke it open against Norway on Thursday when defenseman Brian Rafalski scored twice in the final three minutes of a 6-1 victory. Phil Kessel and Chris Drury had first-period goals, Patrick Kane stretched the lead to 3-0 in the second, and Ryan Malone added his second goal of the tour- nament to back seldom-tested goalie Ryan Miller. The Americans improved to 2-0 in these Olympics. They held a 39-11 edge in shots over Nor- way, which has been outscored 14-1 in two games. Rafalski's first goal with 3 minutes remaining came shortly after Olympic swimming great Michael Phelps left his rinkside seat. Rafalski finished the late outburst in the last minute. After winning only once in six games (1-4-1) four years ago in Turin, the United States will have a chance to capture Group A with a victory over heav- ily favored Canada on Sunday. With only a 3-1 victory Tuesday over Switzerland, the U.S. was in danger of tiebreaker problems should it fall to Canada. Four teams clinch spots in the quar- terfinals, while the other eight countries will play for the other four spots. Goal differential is a key tiebreaker, so lopsided wins are beneficial. The Americans held a 15-2 shots advantage through the first period and 23-9 after 40 minutes. But Miller was beaten for a short-handed goal by Marius Holtet in the second. That gave the Norwegians, seeded 11th in the 12- team tournament, something to celebrate after an 8-0 loss in their opener to Canada on Tuesday night. Chants of ''USA USA'' broke out less than 20 sec- onds in and before the Americans recorded their first shot. Unlike Wednesday, when ABBA music was played during stoppages of Sweden's game against Germany, U.S. artists — Bruce Springsteen, John Denver, Bon Jovi — were on the playlist. Not to be outdone, many fans decked out in red — Norway and Canada varieties — yelled support for the decided underdogs. The Americans' top line connected in the second period for its first goal. Kane slipped a pass to Zach Parise at the left point and charged to the net as the New Jersey Devils' forward fired a shot. Pal Grotnes, who despite allowing four goals called the loss to Canada the best game he ever played, left a big rebound off his pad that Kane steered into the open right side to make it 3-0 at 5:52. Grotnes didn't finish the game against Canada and was said to have leg cramps.
