let's keep our guys and build a team.

I agree.

This may sound crazy but a I could see a major trade with Portland go down that includes more than Rudy & Will.

Since D'antoni loves shooters and now has some shot blockers I could possiby see this trade go down:

Knicks trade:

Chandler Sf
Douglas Pg
Walker Sg

for

Portland trades:

Rudy Fernandez Sg
Jerald Bayless Pg/Sg
Nicolas Batum Sf

Knicks get a lot of O but lose a lot of D. Not sure Portland does it though.

But if we go into the season with the team we have now, I'll still be very happy.

Douglas is better than Bayless, at least as a shooter IMO.
Chandler is better than Fernandez at this point.
Nucolas Batum might be a better prospect than Walker, but do we need another SF?

I doubt Portland does this trade, and even if they did, I am not sure it really will help us. It probably would not hurt us, but it probably would not help either.
