On the bench in his new number-nine jersey was Chris Wilcox, who was brought over from the Oklahoma City Thunder at the deadline. Next to him on the bench in street clothes was Larry Hughes, brought in from the Chicago Bulls. Both were interviewed by the MSG Network and both seemed excited to get integrated into Mike D'Antoni's system.

cerpt from my piece on RealGM:
"2) New York Knicks acquire forward Chris Wilcox from the Oklahoma City Thunder for forward Malik Rose and cash considerations.
Any human being that has ever watched a game involving Malik Rose knows that the Knicks won this deal in an absolute landslide, to the point of comic proportions. The Knicks somehow turned one of the league’s absolute definitions of overpaid wasted roster spot into a 26-year old power forward who is a beast on the block with toughness in the paint. I am having difficulty containing myself here because I am convinced the Sam Presti was severely intoxicated after his doctor refused to ‘okay’ the Tyson Chandler trade, and instead made this exchange with the Knicks as a move to spite the Thunder franchise for crushing his dream core. More on the Knicks in a bit.
