The whole notion of Chandler having to be paid is somthing Denver has to get their act together and grow up.

He is quality and you have to pay. There is nothing wrong with his agent having an understanding about a price, and if the market is over that he would faciliate a sign and trade on that player. WE did that with Dlee. We paid him nice for one year then had an agreement.

But thats my speculation of logic.

While I prefer Gallo for reasons based on his skill set, if he is unhappy in Denver he could be a star in Europe and make real good money when his number is up. My conspiricy theory is Gallo had an agreement to enter the draft if NY took him. MDA was in place so it was a natural.

I try to keep Fields and Gallo and believe including Melo COULD maintain some of that good chemistry.

Thats my hope. If they want fields they don't get a no. 1 pick. Curry/fields/Chander and a Walt Frazier autograph jersey!

If reports are even remotely true, paying Wilson 65-75mil is big coin. That could care off potential suitors, at least to some degree.

I value Fields more than Wilson or Gallo actually.

Fields will be a 15 point career scorer maybe 16 and might get 8 or 9 boards a game.

Love kids game but he is not better then Gallo nor Wilson...... Maybe a better value
but not better skill set.....

Thats my opinion

If we get Melo and keep Gallo I'll be happy

But even if Denver doesn't want Gallo or Wilson does not mean we can't include teams who do.

Doubt trade with Denver will not include 3rd or 4th team

Fields is the classic player that is undervalued by standard metrics but brings a lot more to the team then you can see from the box score. You can see it when you watch the games, and when you use statistics like plus/minus. Here's a good article:

People are down on our assests but we really have so many. Galo, Chandler, Fields, AR, Azabuike and his insured contract that comes off the books, Curry's expiring....that's a ton to work with whether it's just Knicks/Denver or a 3 way or 4 way deal.

It's not Harris and Favors, but that ship has (hopefully) sailed.

not for me. I am more comfortable giving up one of those guys and keeping Fields; that's how high I am on him.

Especially if you have 2 guys like Amare and Melo who NEED the ball, Fields just compliments them so well and actually plays a position that Melo doesn't cover.

I am not that high on Fields. I think he is a good glue guy, but I think those guys are replaceable. I think a lot of his value comes from Stat liking him.

In his rookie season John Havlicek wasn't all that special either

Opinion masquerading as expert basketball analysis... or fact?

You make the call.
