I don't think that is the case any more.
What are we getting back for Amar'e & Chandler? Junk. The pair of overpaid guards from the Pelicans. They're so good that they are barely better than us.
The worst thing we could do is trade either Amar'e or Chandler.
The best thing is to let them expire, and not just dole out a deal to the first warm body that says yes.
Expiring contracts still hold just look at what Grangers expiring contract go the Pacers.
when tyso played with the bob cats and bulls, this is how he looked, when he went to dallas, he was a perfect fit and his level of play went up..He came to NY and won DOY..
We like to pick up other teams throw aways and gas ourselves up to thinking that all they needed was a fresh start..
Our guys have talent, they just are a awful mix.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Knicks are refusing to field trade offers for their former Defensive Player of the Year:The Knicks continue to get calls for center Tyson Chandler and, according to sources close to the situation, continue to scoff at every one. New York, to this point, has no interest in parting with its defensive anchor. (Which is smart if the Knicks are set on re-signing Carmelo Anthony to that megadeal this summer.)
Chandler has been a highly sought-after commodity this season—by Knicks standards, that is.
Prone to devaluing young prospects while playing host to numerous overpaid veterans, New York isn't a hotbed for outside interest. Usually, the Knicks are taking initiative.
But with their season in unexpected shambles, interested teams are attempting to seize what they hope is an opportunity.
Chris Broussard of ESPN previously reported that the Los Angeles Lakers were interested in acquiring Chandler, who, when healthy, is a defensive linchpin capable of shifting the entire narrative on that end of the floor.
New York resisted, though, just like it is here, suggesting it hasn't given up hope on this season.
