Jordan doesn't help us...He shot 39% ft last year, which means he cant be on the floor at the end of games...He isn't a good rebounder..He isn't a good defender..he can't score...He dunks, that's it..At least Chandler can change the game at times defensively...We can't afford to add over priced non serviceable contracts...

So.... why is Chris Paul not making Jordan look like a star then?

I'm not opposed to trading Tyson for Jordan. Hell, as far as I can tell I'm the first person that brought it up, but it's a clear downgrade at center. Tyson's a better rebounder, defender, and offensive player than Jordan; the only thing Jordan is better at is shot blocking and it isn't by that much. If we're going to downgrade like that we need a significant improvement in another part of the roster and the 25th pick in a bad draft isn't it. For comparison, here's the list of players that have been drafted at 25 since 2000, it ain't exactly a murderer's row:

Phoenix - Jake Tsakalidis

Sacramento - Gerald Wallace

Denver - Frank Williams

Detroit - Carlos Delfino

Boston - Tony Allen

Seattle - Johan Petro

Cleveland - Shannon Brown

Utah - Morris Almond

Houston - Nicolas Batum

OKC - Rodrique Beaubois

Memphis - Dominique Jones

Boston - Marshon Brooks

Memphis - Tony Wroten


How many of those players would actually improve our team? Gerald Wallace, Batum, and maybe Allen

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

How is Jordan's contract bad. He makes 4 million less than Chandler per year. He expires the same year as Chandler too.

Knicks are treading water until Amare expires. We need younger assets. Carmelo will be 30 next summer.

How would Jordan help us??...How is he better or different than Tyson??

Jordan scores the same way Chandler does off alleys.

Jordan sucks at free throws. However, Jordan is younger and may improve.

Chandler isn't taking this team to the next level. Plus he is breaking down.

exactly, chandler isn't bringing anything different to the clippers like Garnett would.. so why would the clippers even entertain this kind of a deal?

good deal for us.. not so good for the clippers..

Chandler is better than Jordan and Chris Paul likes Chandler.

Knicks aren't trading Chandler straight up for Jordan.

Chandler IS better but not SIGNIFICANTLY so. In other words, he is not enough of an upgrade to justify a draft pick. At least that is how I'd look at it.

I think the pick is only added if Paul says getting Chandler is a condition of his staying. Obviously keeping Jordan around isn't a priority for Paul. Of course he didn't say that.

Who said anything about a star? Paul didn't turn Chandler into a star, he just gave him credibility and helped remove the bust label. I didn't compare the 2 players; I was pointing out that Paul and Chandler have a good relationship, my implication being that Paul would want Chandler on the Clippers.

Over the last 2 seasons Jordan has established himself as a legit shot blocker, his only true value other than his ability to catch and finish at the rim.

That's not good way to look at it imo. You need to look at all players drafted at 25 and back. However, 4 of those guys are solid starters/ glue pieces. 2-3 are bust and the others are still young. This is a rotation filler draft. imo.

I agree with ylu on Jordan although I bet in NY's Offense his numbers points wise would jump as the primary role guy.

I think DeAndre has a 3.5 mil trade kicker that would make his salary almost match Tysons.

Jordan is awful- AWFUL! Check out his FT shooting, his lazy attitude. At least Tyson plays well in most games- Jordan plays like flu Tyson all year round.

Unless 25th pick pans out to a rotation player this year, it's a bad trade for the Knicks.

Like to have Marshon Brooks at our 24 spot this year.

Coulda just asked haha. My post was really to add merit to the Clippers/Chris Paul wanting to have him there but I'd say I'm against it.

Chandler's been the knicks defensive anchor but I'm left wondering if we're ever gonna see the Mavericks playoff version of Chandler or just what we've seen of him the last 2 playoffs. This last one leaving me really disappointed. He's on the wrong side of 30 and possibly breaking down but I think moving him would be a setback. Knicks are constantly making changes, it'd be good to keep a solid core and build continuity.

Truth...

Deandre can still become somethin Better than he is now. The picks help depth and the future. Isn't that what Alot of you guys want? Chandler us not that good to put so much emphasis on. He sucks.
