Knicks leaders for Tyson Chandler??? WOW

[GONYK]

Actually nm on that whole Kobe to Orlando musings.

Kobe has a no-trade clause. Totally forgot.

IIRC Kobe is the only guy in the league with a no-trade clause.

Anthony Carter had one, his deal expired now though.

LOL, didn't Devean George have one too

What I've heard about Chandler is it's going to happen. Knicks have other moves to make, though.

[kane2021]

Im almost positive you cannot use the clause on a traded player.

[NYman15]

I like the move a lot. I've been on the Cp3 bandwagon for a while now, but getting Chandler was a great plan B in my opinion. The Knicks needed a center who could play defense and grab rebounds and Chandler does that. He is arguably the top FA out there and the Knicks look like they're getting him. They do need help at PG, but before today the Knicks 2 main issues going forward were what would they do at center and who's their future PG. Assuming Chandler comes, 1 of those 2 issues are solved. We'll see what they do at PG, but the Knicks have now potentially the best frontcourt in the NBA.

Billups made it seem like he cut out a piece of his liver or one of his kidneys to come play a couple years with NY. He would never consider coming back here.

[Daaaarryyl]

Is it a done deal that we will be able to trade Turiaf??? Unlike the Lakers, no one ever helps us out!

Supposedly going to Denver for a trade exception which the Knicks would have to renounce to get under the cap enough top sign Tyson.

Ask yourself people, why would the Mavs waste their amnesty on Billups when they could just force us to use our own?

They cannot amnesty Billups. Amnesty can only be used on contracts existing at the time of the new CBA by the team that had the players rights at the time of the new CBA.

[suicidedeuce]

Im almost positive you cannot use the clause on a traded player.

Correct.

Amnesty:

1.) ONE time each team (for the life of the new CBA).

2.) Player has to have been on your 15 man roster by the start of the lockout.

Therefore, you cannot trade for, sign, or draft a player post-lockout and use the amnesty on him.

[Loisl]

Is this payback or what? Because the Nets goal was to add Tyson Chandler if they struck out on Dwight.

Who says they've struck out on Dwight yet.

And who says we have?

I just spoke to an Eastern Conference player about Paul to L.A. and Chandler to N.Y. He jokingly said, "It's over. I'm quitting basketball."

LOL

[Knicksin2011]

I'd imagine Turiaf + 3M to Denver with an exchange of 2nd round picks.

[makeitstop]

quick question...what if we were to ship billups to dallas for a re-signed chandler then the mavs amnesty billups, could we pick him back up? i know if we amnesty billups we cannot but in this situation it would be the mavs doing it.

1. Dallas has said they have no interest in Billups.
2. A player has to have been on the roster as of June 30 to be amnesty-eligible.
3. Billups hates us now.

The unmotivated comments really just reminds me of last year when fans thought Melo would play lazy after he got paid. Instead of looked like more of a leader than a certain Number 6 in Miami.

I wholeheartedly agree in 6 months, we will love this signing. I was right with the Amare signing, Melo signing and I think I'll be right this time too.

If we need a little more wiggle room, use that new loophole to get 3 million extra in cap room.

[LJ4pointplay]

Really don't want to amnesty Billups, I would think the Mavs would take him for one year.. but if not, what about the Pacers? I'd even think a protected first could come back our way from the Pacers..

[VirginiaKnickFan]

Not having Amare bang down low for rebounds may save on his body and knees, maybe there's a side benefit with Chandler after all.

That's what I get for listening to fatass. Francesa said Kobe was the only guy, said this about 20 times in the past year. My bad, I don't even listen to him anymore because of $ht like this where he's wrong about something yet repeats it over and over w/o checking the facts.

[Pharmcat]

using the amnesty on billups sucks

i mean thats just bad mgmt to use it on a guy whose option u just picked up 5 months ago

that makes no sense
