Knicks leaders for Tyson Chandler??? WOW

[K_ick_God]

Chandler is not a bad signing, but at $14m/year, it will be the worst signing of the last decade.

Wait until you see what Nene and Dalembert get

It's overpaying but we badly need D. Badly. So it is worth a premium PERHAPS. But Tyson will get more than Noah and that's hard to justify. I thought Noah's contract is now entering the bad zone, but Noah is probably better than Tyson.

I don't know. I have mixed feelings.

[GONYK]

tyson huh. well im not upset. billups will be cut. im happy there. but then we have no sg and no pg. star power at c pf sf. but sg and pg are real weak. but i have a thought. cavs cutting baron davis. remember them baron davis rumors? well here we go. chandler.amare.melo.fields.baron davis. i dunno if i like that but im just saying thats how we get a good pg. amnestied baron davis comes here for vet min.

Baron Davis is a good PG?

Stephen A Smith is drooling all over this move, he loves it.

he was the one lambasting the knicks for not getting in on the chandler running yesterday, but you could pretty much bet he will destroy the knicks for the signing as soon as chandler doesn't produce in some way

On Knicks-Chandler front, sources say it looks like Billups will be amnestied and Turiaf will be sent out in separate deal. No sign/trade.

Let's do it, make it official.

I'm maintaining my stance that this is a bad move if we're using our amnesty provision. Amare's health is a huge concern, especially for the amount of cap room he's taking up.

Wut? He's not a bad signing but he's the worst signing?

in his defense, he does have the word noob is his name.

Like I said if dallas went ring-less and ended up getting bounced out the first round 3 years in a row with Dampier/Diop which was considered a good frontcourt rotation back then. Trades for Haywood, Stevenson, Butler and get bounced AGAIN out of the first round.

they trade for Tyson Chandler and they win a ring with the same exact team and coaching staff doesn't tell you something then I do not know what does.

Yup, that's the way he is.

NOT happy we are blowing our wad, that donnie worked multiple seasons on to get cap room, and blow it on Tyson Chandler.

NOT happy.

[Iman Shumpert]

Might as well fire D'Antoni now. He's a PG coach and it's clear you're never giving him a PG. So why keep him around?

[NoMoreThrees]

I do not understand what is going on. Not mad, just confused. Come home from a **** day at work and I guess we're done with any big 3 and now we have no PG in a PG driven system? Just fire D'Antoni now and hire Phil Jackson, we all know it's coming.

Key points of day--

-Supposedly signed, or will sign, Chandler.
-Loophole can net us Paul
-Large question mark over PG position

baron davis is being amnestied. theres our starting pg like it or not.

[Pharmcat]

i just think that after 4 yrs of cap splurging, giving up on plan A for plan B when the door on plan A is not shut is just wrong

See, I agree with this.

But we're not privy to inside knowledge that the Knicks brass most certainly is. Plan A's door may have very well already been shut.

And CP3 really was our only Plan A, cause there was no way Dwight or Deron was taking less to come here.

as long as they come out and say it that, then its all good

[SonOfMars]

Who the hell is gonna run our point?

Even though he seems like the best option, i dont want BDiddy...

[NYK_89]

Cuban is enamored with saving HIS OWN CAPSPACE for 2012 so that HE CAN ROLL THE DICE on deron or howard

why cant ny roll the dice on those 2?

other then them having to take massive pay cuts to come here? they don't want to come here horribly bad like CP3 did and hes pretty clearly going to get a trade and extend here in the next few days

[PumaClyde]

I'm loving this signing, Stat and Melo with this cat can live long and prosper.

Next year if we get better at point, and lose the Coach....

Then we'll be seeing some NBA action!

suddenly the trade got better

We'll be over the cap so chances are he won't be -- another team will pick him up.

i remember dirk saying that Chandler totally changed the mentality of the team.


Chandler pushed the guys in practice to get better and to play defense.

[Pharmcat]

why are people talking bout baron

he has to go through the under cap teams first, no?

[knicks9784]

since billups still gets his $$$ this year, anyone think he might resign on the cheap for a year? are you allowed to resign amnestied players??
