I'd take back McCollum (does he even get min?), Lopez and a pick.

Chandler doesn't deserve to be valued as he is around the league though. Sooner or later it'll catch up, as it did with Shumpert, and then we'll get nothing for him. We should trade Melo if he doesn't commit to staying, but Chandler should be the piece moved first. Especially to a Western team that's looking for a playoff run. I'd talk to OKC, Suns and Portland.

I've been begging for this all year. He is one dimensional, extremely overpaid, and is injury prone. If we can get something reasonable, we should do it. Dating back to end of last Feb, he has essentially been a non-contributer. In addition to that, he gets credit for "being a leader" when he is the first to sling coaches and teammates under the bus. Last year he came out against Melo in the playoffs, which was comical given that Hibbert was lighting him up and he wasn't rebounding at all.

The knicks have over two years to get something from shump but they could've got a real player. Now his value is poo. Tyson needs to be traded before people recognize his skills are nearly gone.

I doubt this - but maybe management has already survey other GMs for the value of our players, and Chandler has none - and would get back worse talent/contract?

The problem is the Knicks have sooooo many holes right now. We have a backcourt giving up 17ppg to their opponents every night and stringing together nights where we get nothing, literally nothing from Prigs, Felton and Shump and those guys will combine for 80-90 minutes easily.

The means you simply need others to fill out the stat sheet. Chandler isnt that guy. I would think he would immediatly go back to being an impact guy in the right situation. OKC scenarios have made sense. I think putting him next Duncan in SAS would also do that. MAybe we could get a nice young player like Leanard back. I could see Chandler being a piece the Spurs could use to get another ring. Even old starting Duncan/Chandler/Parker/Manu and anyone who can shoot or defend is pretty awesome.

Tyson needs a P&R PG and some other guys to cover the holes in his game. Its not so much Chandler that has been exposed here, rather the futility of the rest of the roster. God they are bad!

a WELL Rounded team makes sense.. so how do we get that? we don't have picks or cap space?

ahhh.. maybe you trade the player with the most value..

then you can get possibly a PG, a small forward who defends and maybe, just maybe a pick...

then you can start building a well rounded team, and maximize on chandler and the big impact you said he can have on a well rounded team... Trying to trade chandler for young talented guys like Leonard is not realistic...

just a thought....

100% agree with you.. he would also benefit if he didn't have a coach that advocates switching every damn minute..

Mda does that because he goes small, and usually has a 6 10" guy playing center. Not a 7 footer
