Knicks leaders for Tyson Chandler??? WOW

[NoLayupRule]

Would love to have him, but dont wanna overpay...lets be real, between Turiaf, Jeffries, and Jorts, we have the most injury proned C in the league, the skinniest C in the league, and the most inexperience C in the league...



BTW, can someone PLEASE explain to me how exactly the amnesty works? You just waive a player w/o having to pay him?

amnesty works like this


you waive a player and you still pay their complete salary but it comes off your teams' cap and lux tax

waived players are on the wire for X-amount of time where teams can take them and pay them full salary. so if we waived Carmelo someone under the cap would grab him, it would go to the team with the worst record and the space to pay.

after clearing the waiver wire the team with the money to negotiate a new contract can sign the player as a free agent. This is how Finley ended up in Phx after Dallas for example

Looks like Steven A has legit sources

What did Screamin' A say?

He was going on aand on about Chandler last night, He must have known something.

[ctorres]

Can't the Knicks just sign and trade Billups and Turiaf for Tyson Chandler?

Maybe the Mavericks don't want Billups for $14.2 million, even if it's an expiring deal. They may be better off getting a trade exception for Chandler instead.

they definitely want the expiring contract because they want deron.

What does that have to do with getting a trade exception instead? A trade exception won't hurt them in acquiring Deron either.

[The_Philosopher]

Such pointless stuff.

Who was the center of Dallas when they won a ring last year?

That has to be the stupidest way of valuing of player I've ever seen.

This guy was basically given away by the Hornets and Bobcats and he has one season where he does slightly above his career averages on a team that happens to win the title and he deserves $14 million a season? Okay.

[ibraheim718]

10 and 9 is average, championship team aside.

10 and 9 doesn't deserve $14 million a season.

Also, 10 and 9 aside, his career averages are 8 and 8.

Hall of fame worthy!

Such pointless stuff.

Who was the center of Dallas when they won a ring last year?

And where is our Marion,Kidd,Dirk,Terry,???? Where is our 90 million dollar payroll?

[NYKat]

10 and 9 on a championship team is not average. He's a legit center who does the dirtywork, and in his prime.

agreed, this is ignorance, everything isn't about numbers and stats

he is great fit here for defensive purposes...

furthermore we are ALREADY contenders, yes I said it, insert PG we are ECC championship contenders with this move immediately

[NBA Fan 1234]

This is flying under the radar here, but the Suns just signed Shannon Brown. Could a release or trade of Nash follow?

NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT! Brown is clearly their PG of the future...and so is Zabian Dowdell! Brown has NOTHING to do with Nash.

[KnicksFan007]

4 years 58/Million isn't bad at all. He actually is close to taking less.

[Falstaffxx]

baron davis in a d'antoni offense would be insane.... you guys are sleeping.

i just hope they dont trade STAT

Davis also shoots 5+ threes a game...at a 32% clip.

He did shoot a lot better last year though (and the year before that he didn't shoot 5 3's per game).

[duetta]

How out of shape? He's always been skinny. It was during the Finals that one of those guys said that Tyson Chandler was the most positive person he's ever been around. He's supposed to have super high character actually.

He's also played at least 70 games in 7 out of 10 years of his career.

We are paying him a lot and he's not a scorer but your specific critiques here seem unfounded.

The Bulls were very disappointed with him - which is why he's no longer a Bull. Maybe he's developed a semblence of professionalism since then. But that's crazy money for a guy is decent but nothing elite.

[Phish Tank]

the idea of trading Amare is probably one of the most stupidest things that I've ever heard. Stop the speculation. The media should shut it.

[Gerald3Wallace]

A shame if they put Amare on the trading block.

is it safe to say bob has a habit of stealing stories and claiming them as his own? He saw the report on twitter about the lakers having a 3 team trade in place and now he's acting like it's his story.

[DonJuanCapistro]

Bob is a idiot

[Manhattan Project]

Id be quite scared of signing Tyson for this money. Health issues, motivation issues but he does solve a lot of our problems that we have. Man I signed on today and a bunch of bombs are getting dropped on us.

[MaseInYourFace]

LMAO. Wow what news! I come home to this surprise. I thought knicks didnt have a plan b?!
