Who is going to sit in the front court, Knicks need to up front and say to Bargs/Stat, " we only need one of you guys, best man wins". I'm pulling for Bargs because Stat ****s up too many things.

I just want to say that I can't stand Tyson Chandler....I know you guys know that by now. I would sign Hadaddi and Barron then trade Tyson for Humphries straight up and then waive Humphries and take the cap relief....

Knicks are good right now guys....if we get Haddadi we got better. Go Knicks

Agree with you on Tyson, but I don't like him so much that I'd trade him for nothing. He still has value.

I know.....I just don't think its wise to sit on a guy that refuses to improve his game year to year. He's a over paid role player/energy guy. When the game is on the line you can't rely on him because he can't score. He can't drive and finish he has no hook shot and he refuses to shoot the jumper because he has zero confidence....now if he had a basic hook shot with his good hand at least and a working jumpshot then I would not be so against him. He can't put the ball on the floor and its questionable if he can evem simply lay the ball up....everything is either dunk or free throws with this guy. He can't adapt to defense. We need him to be a threat to score. Even the biggest bum at center in the league can hit a jumper and finish a drop step with defense on them.

Even in international play, Tyson didn't play a lot of minute even with him being the only real center....he hurts the team since all he does is defend and dunk.

I know it's popular to dump on Tyson coming off a sub-par year but he was legitimately hurting last year. What he brings to this team is severely underrated. He was DPOY in 11 b/c he when healthy is a game-changer on D. Don't forget what our interior D looked like pre-Tyson (yes some system related but alot has to do with having a legit presence at C).

While he is not Patrick in his prime offensively, he does enough off of pick and roles ,offensive rebounding and garbage points to be effective offensively. As long as we have shooters around him he is more than enoguh considering all the other things he brings to the table.
