We don't lose rebounding and not much defense Humphies numbers proved that. We still can run pick and rolls but Kris can actually hit the jumper and finish with something other than a dunk. Bargnani becomes the center pulling opposing centers out the paint. Melo is back to the 3.

Brandon Bass would be great as that extra big. Amare can fill in at center. Metta is in the mix too at the 3/4. Kmart in the mix at 4/5.

Beno starts with Jr....
Sign Bobby Brown and play Shump of the bench.

Then we go to war.

WOW --- WOW --- WOW --- what an awful trade.

You just traded our starting center and PG for 2 scrub PF's that shouldn't wouldn't play ahead of BARGS/STAT.

So post your trade we don't have center - we have 6 or 7 PFs -- (Humph, Bass, STAT, BARGs, KMART, Tyler, CJ) and we have to push either Prig or Beno into a starting role.

And scores like a nba player. We still get a big man that rebounds just add well if not better than Tyson

If it's a wish trade I'd send Chandler and Felton to Indy for Hibbert. Like it or not Chandler's elite at his position; albeit at an endangered species position. Def wouldn't do it for a bunch of role playing undersized PF's.

Elite is overstating.

Hibbert, Noah, Bynum, okafor, monroe, al Jefferson, the kid in Toronto and Orlando, kid in the bucks, hortford, lopez..... you mean to say Tyson is elite and the rest of these guys aren't? Sane numbers in season.

Leadership is debatable because Tyson threw his team under the bus when they needed him against Indiana to the media when he himself was playing horribly.

Patrick Ewing is not available for trade so you can't expect Tyson and Felton to bring that. At the same time you dont keep a guy just because he's your only center. Truth is Bargs and Amare can hold that down along with kmart.

How exactly am I meaning to say that? Chandler is tops at his position no matter how you slice it. He has the team and individual accolades to prove it. It's far from an overstatement, you'd be better off pointing out it's only because how weak the Center position is in the NBA.

Your list consists of quite a few guys that would be better suited for the PF position. Monroe will be a PF as he's proven to be soft at the C spot and Drummond will take over there. Okafor is great at playing his role but lacks the intangibles of a Chandler; pretty much all the areas you're downplaying as respects to Chandler. Horford would be much better at PF but is in the list that includes Chandler. You say Chandler doesn't score like a center but Lopez doesn't rebound like a Center and doesn't defend his position well.

Chandler is one of the better defensive centers in the league and his best asset aside from his length and mobility is how vocal he is on that end. It's not a coincidence that the Knicks became a top defensive team when Chandler came on board despite being surrounded by subpar defensive players.

Don't mean to derail the thread so I apologize there. Pretty difficult to read a "wish" trade that makes your favorite team worse and keep it moving

Starting center on a 54 game winning team, olympian DPOY with a ring and we now scrapping him?

Wish trade: Any team Rondo goes to that does not play in Manhatten!
