There is a rumor from some guy on the Sac board (Real GM) that says the Knicks are talking with Sac to get Landry. He posted it on the Knicks board.

He posted it on the Knicks board. he probably got the rumor from ulties... or briggs posting this on the real gm knicks board. realistically, the knicks don't have much they can offer sacramento. i love the idea of getting him briggs - but what's the realistic offer here? azubuike + cash? ¿ △ ?

The price has to be reasonable--he is an ending contract. Its a guy Id like to keep past this year anyway if we can--hed fir very well here--most people here probably have not seen him much--but really he is perfect for the 4-1. Knicks have to realize this + he does nothing to FA. We could do a cash deal + 2 2's RIP Crushalot😞

This is probably a deal that MDA will go for. He virtually has no use for a conventional center as he has no clue how to utilize one into his system. I gotta agree with BRIGGS this is probably the best move as you would get a player that MDA actually would have use for.

Hell yes if he's an expiring. If we trade for him, do we get to resign him with Bird rights? If so, it's a no brainer. Why would Sacramento trade him, is he in their doghouse or something? He seems like a terrific backup for Stat.

SacTown gets cash flow relief because I believe Curry's deal is already paid off (not certain). They also get a back-up center that may be a better role model for Cousins and they get potential in Randolph. For the Knicks both incoming players are expiring. Dalembert would take both Turiaf and Moz minutes and compliment Amare nicely. Landry would provide Amare and our front line a break and Landry could play Amare's high=post position very well. Both these players would make us instantly better and contenders in the East. |

You spread the floor with shooters and slashers and lets the athletic C space to go to town--like amare has been doing. amare cant play 43 every night--we need to keep the pressure up when he is out AND they can play together becasue they are both very mobile and can hit the mid range.

For cheap this would be a good pickup. It would allow you to cut back Amare/Chandler/Gallo's minutes by 8-10 a piece (from 42 to 35 say) and not take a step back. This wasnt my first choice but he's a good fit. High energy, unselfish, good ball mover, good rebounders, willing defender, blue collar guy with some flair.... sure, I'm in. This helps us right away
