I agree for the most part with what Tommy Dee is saying. I get the feeling we are going to use Chandler to move Curry, which is MORE than a fair deal. I do hope it's for Collison, but the idea of Rubio/Jefferson for Chandler/Curry is intriguing, depending on our roster...

It appears the Knicks are actively trying to move Eddy Curry with Wilson Chandler as bait, a source with knowledge says it what appears to be a “desperation move.”

Bottom line is that many Knicks fans are clamoring for the team to do something, and I maintain, as I always have, that if they stay put, they still feel confident in their position.

And no, I’m not buying the Knicks have targeted Joe Johnson over Lebron or desperation move, because of reasons already mentioned.

I bring logic and information. If I’m wrong, so be it.

Many people have asked what can the Knicks do in response to what the Bulls and now the Nets have done from a roster standpoint.

Well, shedding more salary would help.

But getting rid of only a couple million dollars of salary, without Curry, seems to make little sense.

Chandler isnt good enough to move Curry in this market where teams are giving away solid players for NOTHING.

I would prefer a Paul/Okafor or Collison/Okafor trade if Chandler is included. I also think if Chandler is included the Knicks should go after Gay if they don't get Bosh, LBJ, Amare, or Wade. Also, Minny is supposed to be targeting Gay. I don't think you give up Chandler unless you are getting Johnson or Gay. I am not sold on Fields as the next Chandler.

if we can shed Gallo, Wilson & TD's contracts we'll be under the cap even more. then we can offer 3 bigname free agents a chance to come to NY to play alongside Eddy Curry, Andy Rautins & Landry Fields in MDA's system under the bright lights of NYC in the greatest arena on earth... it's so crazy it just might work.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Gallo can stay. We need to shed EC, Curry, Walker, and Douglas to free up that 3rd max spot.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I almost sense a hint of sarcasm.

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I'd trade Gallo for Paul. Hell, I'd trade Gallo, Chandler, and Douglas for Paul/Okafor, if Curry is involved.

Paul would take up one of our "max spots," then, but we would still have roughly $24M in cap space, room for another max and then extra change to shape the roster. We can sign LeBron, and then look to get roleplayers like Mike Miller at SG. Or if LeBron still doesn't want to come, if we can get Joe Johnson at about $14M starting salary, we'd have enough cap space to hold onto David Lee's bird rights, giving us a pretty balanced roster of Paul/JJ/D.Lee/Okafor.

I'm hoping that the only reason Donnie hasn't traded Curry (outside of the fact that he's a fat scrub), is because a Paul/Okafor trade can't be consummated until July 8th when we have the cap space to absorb Paul's contract, and obviously a trade of such magnitude would require a vice grip on any possible leaks.

You would gut your team for a pg, who's he suppose to pass the ball to. rebuild b
