Can we resign billups after we amnesty him?

Actually I really like Chandler, just don't want to abandon hope for CP3 this soon.

How old is Tyson anyway? Amar'e is gone if this goes through.

IT'S ESPN SO IT MUST BE TRUE!

but but they have sources!!

No. If it was fake, it wouldn't get reported.

Ken Berger broke the lockout deal, so he has WAY more credibility than anyone else.

Makes sense now.

Zeke trades for Eddy Curry.

Now he signs Tyson Chandler.

Did Zeke work for the Bulls when they were both in Chicago?

Who cares about Billups. He sucked. Chris Paul is next.

Let's relax for a minute and think about this. 1) Easier to find a PG with midlevel than finding a Center. 2) Defense wins championships. 3) Chandler completes us inside if he stays healthy.

I can buy into this.

True. But we can't sit idle either while every other team is improving.

I think 2 things are happening here.

1, Chandler is getting his market value set

2, the Knicks are doing this to pressure and get the ball rolling on a trade. Maybe showing another option to a trade partner that we can and will open up cap space right now to take salary on.

Signing Chandler reduces our chances to the point where there's really no chance whatsoever.

Yeah exactly, it means that we are officialy not getting CP3.

Can't we do this for Nene instead?

Wow I go to lunch & come back to this..I'm still taking this with a grain of salt tho.. still think he may go to GSW.. How will this affect going after Cp3

This would leave a Phil Jackson team...

Post #79 » by **K_ick_God** » Thu Dec 8, 2011 6:22 pm

I don't like paying Tyson a lot but I am sure this means Paul is coming.

And while he would be overpaid ... guess what could be back at MSG? ... DE-FENSE.

Shumpert is better than Mike Bibby and the Heat went far with Mario and Mike Bibby as their PGs. Don't see why Shump can't do it until we sign a replacement (Baron Davis?)
