I'll say Channing is a solid 14/6.
If he became the focal point of an offense somewhere, he could probably produce nicely, but I think he'll share the mid range J role with Aldridge.

The more time I have to think about it, the more I'm starting to come around on this trade. Watching video of Randolph's jumper is making things a hell of a lot easier on me.

Channing could be a solid starting PF/C in the NBA. Maybe he'd even be capable of a 20/10 career year, if he can get minutes and touches. With that said, he'd be much more likely to become a 13/6 type of player as a 3rd/4th option on a team.

On Portland, however, you'd think that he's on their chart as their #3 big man behind Aldridge and Oden. Frye is solid enough, but I highly doubt this will be his last team. I'd imagine he'll put up good numbers in limited minutes and do enough to get him the MLE or more.

Good trading piece. After all, the Knicks managed to pick up a 20-10 player just entering his prime for him.

To be honest, though, I think he's got more skill/upside than a player like David West, who's been putting up pretty solid numbers two years running. It's a matter of Channing finding the right fit on a team that wants to commit to him as their prime big-man scorer.

I like Frye, but I think I like what we got in exchange for him better.

When the one "frye will be an allstar" vote pops up -- we will all know oohah has been here.

I think he's gone to the Blazers boards to hang his ass out or whatever. j/k

Frye will threaten to be an all-star.

Frye will threaten to threaten.

I like Frye alot. I think he will have a good, long career. I also think he might do better playing as a center. I do not think he would have ever achieved his potential playing next to Eddy Curry.

I honestly think Channing might be averaging clost to 18 and 8 next yr

there are some rumors that frye may be moved in a deal for nocioni this summer.

Not with Aldbridge and Oden son. He'll be right where he blongs. Getting 25-30 minutes off the bench as a probable backup center. Good luck to Channing. Now he'll work for a team that's actually telling him what he's doing wrong when he needs to know.

I think he will be a good roleplayer. He needs to deal with the double team better before he can become a higher caliber player. That said, I liked him as a player and wish he became the player in NY that we saw glimpses of his rookie year. Perhaps those Tim Duncan comparisons were premature... time will tell...
