Well, what if we were to move Chandler along with another contract for a high end young player on a rookie contract?

Imagine a team that is in rebuilding mode with talented young players, wouldn't they move one (say a center or 2G) for Chandler who is quite young hiimself? At least then we have something to show for "losing" Chandler. This is essentially what we did with David Lee. I don't want to trade Chandler or penalize him in any way, but this is a way for a team that does not attract free agents to get a good and proven player.

The Knicks have a 6'8 240 pound, talented, powerful and unselfish yoot. He is showing signs of maturity, consistency and productivity and the best one can offer is yet another scenario where he takes his talents someplace else?

C'mon Man!

Watch him grow and stop the madness

7 games versus Mia 2 Boston Orlando Denver Ok Chicago

Wilson Chandler 21.1 points 8.4 rebounds 2 assists 1.4 steals 1.5 blocks 53.7% shooting

How do you do much better? How many wing guards can shoot almost 54% while avg 21 points and still pull down 8.5 rebounds with minimal TO's against the elite of the nBA? And he is asked to guard people ranging from 7-2 to 6-2 and giving you good D. At 23 years old? The *net* from trading off Chandler for Carmelo would not be very much. And obviously that would have to include 3-4 other upper tier assets leaving us capped out and void of assets for many needs.

Simply put Chandler is a keeper. He shows up to play vs elite teams. We can't say that about Gallo. To me it about keeping Chandler and dealing for Melo right now. Chandler's versatility allows him to play multiple position from sg, sf, pf. He will only compliment Melo because all Will ever does is make positive contributions.

a rebuilding team is not gonna want to trade their cheap young talent for someone like Wilson who is due to make a big raise in his upcoming contract... u have to look at teams that want to unload a big contract of their own while getting back a player who can help to fill the void left behind by that player's departure for less money.

you have to be kidding me with this.... will compliments melo? rofl.. how? melo will come here and tell chandler to get the hell out of the way, and justifiably so.. chandler will go to the bench... as we should be starting a center, and amare back at PF.. chandler is NOT A SG..!! they can guard him, but he can't guard them.. that is huge...

The Mayor blocks shots, he can rebound in traffic, he finishes strong around the rim, he shoots nearly 50 per cent and he has better three point range than David Lee ever dreamed.

And I loved David Lee.

Its possible if the young talent hasn't reach potential yet. IMO Philly would think very long and hard about a Evan Turner for Chandler swap right now. As would Minny and Wesley Johnson, Clippers with Aminu, Indy with George, Memphis with Henry, OKC with Harden, Toronto with Derozen, Memphis with Mayo, Kings with Thompson.

personally i think the only deal Philly would be interested in Wilson for is to unload Andre Iguodala's contract, or maybe in a salary dump of Elton Brand i could see Evan Turner being included as part of a larger deal... but i guess i see your point with some other teams that you listed... as a Knicks fan though, i don't think any of those guys are as good as Wilson & wouldn't wanna trade him for any of them w/the possible exception of Wes Johnson.

Kahn, speaking to CBSSports.com on Tuesday, said he is still evaluating the roster but isn't under any restrictions from owner Glen Taylor that prohibit him from making trades to improve the team.

"Money's not an issue," Kahn said. "Glen's been very clear and he's allowed me full latitude to do what we need to do. We're operating the way we're operating because I felt it was the right thing to do with the uncertain labor agreement. I like having the number low so we have flexibility when the new labor agreement comes out."
