d'antoni had hill and darko and didn't play them. you think he'd play mcgee?

Yeah, McGee will be collecting dust and we will be talking about how he does not compete in practice. This team and it's coaches are really suspect.

He wants to play B Walker at PF. I don't know what to say but this is putrid.

The guy has a 6-11 player playing guards. Trying to reinvent the game of basketball. When the three doesn't go down against a superior defensive team, this team is easily expose. As well as the coach. Chandler is my fav player on this team but if he can get us Bosh, I willing to do it because of talent and need. Don't get why Gallo is untouchable in these scenarios. Dude has done nothing to earn it on a losing team.

You're right. I know it makes sense to have an athletic big man, but our coach tends to shy away from them. Anyway, I'd prolly hold off and see if we can buy another first round pick in the draft than trade chandler for Mcgee. They're seem to be plenty of raw big men out there this year.

So why did the Knicks pass on Lopez for another SF? Oh, that's another thread, sorry.

But I like both players....Not sure the feeling is mutual with Knick management.

Then they should just throw a max contract at Amare Stoudemire. If they don't want a C than we should play with atleast 2 PF. Actually we need two more quality big men. Most really good teasm come with 3 giod bigs--then have others in supply as roster spots 11-14--for example the Lakers the Spurs the Jazz The Celtics most of the very good teams are loaded with big men. We have one.

If we could bring in Stoudemire and trade for Mcgee then we could mix and match Lee Stouedmire and Mcgee. Chandler is a good solid player but injury prone and he plays a spot more easily replaced..

Fastest way to get better is to build a new frontline--if we dont get LBJ. Amare and a C + Lee would make us consistent upfront.

Also I think Mcgee might have more potential than Hill. I think in one more year--Mcgee could be really good. He's flirting with it--now he just needs to break to the other side.

Chandler and 8

5 and McGee

I'd say this idea is an absolute no go and BRIGGS trying to muster up some buzz for a player he heavily talked about 2yrs ago as being a should be Lock lottery pick.

Why is Byron still down in the D-League spending time there like all year?

I agree. The Knicks do need more size but there is no way in hell McGee's value is close to Chandler's. The Wiz would need to give up more young developable assets and why would they do that now?
