Knicks leaders for Tyson Chandler??? WOW

[ibraheim718]

We'll we've at least provided a good laugh for the general board.

Marc Stein on 1050 ESPN right now

Please tell me he has a good explanation for what we'll do at PG in this case bc I'm terrified at our offense being run by TD for a whole season.

Stein: Something the Knicks may not be able to answer that by Christmas Day, but this size is incredibly difficult to attain.

Stein likes the aggresive move of the knicks and thinks this is a great move and he is asking the fans to be patient and that the Knicks will find a PG replacement

Either AI or BD would do fine as PG together with the young pups. Melo/Stat/Chandler front court would be a monster against most teams.

Billups can suck a fat one

[K_ick_God]

Tyson only averaged 1.1 blocks per game last year. Yikes.

Agent Miller on Billups: "He has no intention of being open-minded about any possible situation where a team would claim him off waivers.."

More agent Andy Miller on Knicks exposing Billups to amnesty waiver wire: "....unless it's a team he chooses himself. Buyer beware."

Anyone watching ESPNEWS? Chris Broussard said he is hearing from a source that Chandler to the Knicks is 97% done and another source said it's virtual done.

I agree that D'Antoni needs a good, pace setting PG, but we scored plenty of baskets with Duhon running the point and he made Ray Felton look like an All-Star last year.

There are a ton of PG's in the league, and the officiating has made being a PG easier than it's ever been. Even with all the rule changes, no NBA champion has won a chip because of PG play since Isiah's Pistons. One could argue that Billups was instrumental for the Pistons, but I dont think he was more important than either Ben or Rasheed Wallace.

Mavs won because of their frontcourt, so did all those spurs teams. Miami won with a SG and Shaq, The Spurs won chips because of TD, not TP, Shaq and Kobe won without a true pg, so did Jordan's and Hakeem's teams.

I love cp3, he's easily my favorite non knick, but he's less important in the grand scheme of things than we all think.

Point being, D'Antoni can find a "pure pg" a la Felton or Duhon, and turn them into a pretty effective PG. I don't think the answer is shumpert douglas or anthony carter, but there are options out there that will allow us to flourish with the frontcourt we're on the verge of having.

No matter who it is, if that PG can't run the PnR, then we will have a problem

[Iman Shumpert]

Let's be clear on one thing. People prefer to forfeit the year for a CHANCE to sign CP3 which will ultimately cost us Fields, TD, Shumpert, and all other assets instead of getting Chandler NOW and make a real run at this.

CP3/Melo/Amare combo with bunch of minimums is redundant. It ain't better than what Miami has there. We need defense, we need rebounding, we need depth to beat Miami. Not become a second rate copy of them.

LOL. How's a CP3/Melo/Amare combo redundant? Miami had 2 elite playmakers and one decent playmaker at PF. We don't even have an average playmaker and we have one guy at PF that just can't pass to save his life. Jab step, jab step, jab step, drive into 4 defenders...pass it to an open guy? Nope, lemme try to yam it on 4 guys.

Why are people so down on Baron, when he is healthy and motivated he is a top 15-20 pg in the league.

Out of 30? And you're asking why we're down?

Yea, that considered a second tear point guard no ? I think that would be one of our better options. Who would you like to see at pg?

[NoLayupRule]

Why are people so down on Baron, when he is healthy and motivated he is a top 15-20 pg in the league.

Because if you have to start with "If healthy" or "when motivated" there is a big problem.

You're talking about CHandler right?

the difference between Davis playing in Clev or for the Clips and here is night and day.

Yeah, Davis is a guy who checks out when his team has no chance of winning. terrible quality. But here in NY under D'Antoni with the kind of leadership and play we are bound to get out of Amare and Melo then Davis will come correct every night, Im certain of it

[duetta]

That's crazy money, just crazy, for a guy with character and health issues. I guess Dolan is back on the phone with Isiah...

Which one of you guys runs that sh*t?

[MKCATL]

Looks like Steven A has legit sources

[BeagleBoss]

Barea is looking better and better as a BU

I like the idea of Barea here as the PG. The tempo and D would be insane. And Barea killed all the elite teams in the playoffs.

[NoLayupRule]

Tyson only averaged 1.1 rebounds per game last year. Yikes.

Im fairly certain that is a false statement

[bigball123]

Love the move! Looks like we will get Nash hopefully!
