This dude has been right before, so:
"Ok after the Yankess news - I am working on Knicks rumored trade of Wilson Chandler to Spurs - Nothing done yet but man is it getting hot"
"Im gathering all the info i can but right now the Spurs are giving Knicks the option to use them in any Melo deal. Nothing done"
Can you trust a dude who calls himself "Incarcerated Bob"?
Please let this happen
Oh this could get interesting.
But then again, it could be a bunch of crap.
Just to humor your post. Who would the spurs be giving up? Only thing I could see is Matt Bonner, and then the Spurs do not have a 3 guy.
Rumor is that it's for a 2011 first round pick.
And as usual I wont believe it till I see it, but that be a pretty damn good deal.
do the salaries matchup? bonner signed an overpriced deal this summer and all
WOW...that would be a STEAL if that were to happen.
I just read on Hoopshype that the Knicks were trying to acquire a 2011 first-rounder to try and pry Carmelo away from the Nuggets. I guess it would be the Spurs' in this deal?
The buzz around here is that the rumored deal is the Spurs sending a 1st round pick in the deal, and getting Chandler back in return..the proposed 3-way deal would also send a few more pieces to Denver, including Gallo and Randolph..
However, Incarcerated Bob is usually wrong, he's only been correct a few times out of the many predictions/reports he has made..he's a pretty shitty source..
After looking it up, it looks like Chris Sheridan is reporting this as well, so it might have some validity to it..he didn't name the Spurs, but he says the Knicks have found a 1st round pick to partner up with..
would be great theres your sf but where does he fit with rj?!
If the Spurs sent a first for Wilson Chandler holy shit, best steal since Gasol trade.
Since the Kurt Thomas trade, I've been adamantly opposed to the Spurs "burning" their 1st round picks. However in this case, it would be for a younger player. I know the Knicks would be all over this - seeing as how they've given away most of their picks for the next half-decade in any number of failed trades. Besides, it makes sense for the Knicks since they want to pry Carmelo away from the Nuggets by this Feb.
I like Chandler and think he'd fit in perfectly with the Spurs. Get it done.
this would rock
Just saw that too.
From Chris Sheridans Twitter:
Source tells me the NY Knicks have a deal available to acquire a No. 1 draft pick in 2011 for use in a C.Anthony trade, if talks revived.

Who cares, let em fight it out for the starting spot.
This is interesting. But, I wonder where Chandler will fit in the rotation.
I love Ill Will, I don't know how he would fit here, but I'd be all for it..
He has the potential to be a great defender, he has enough size to occasionally play small ball PF, he's a good 1 on 1 scorer, above average post up player, good p&r player, good cutter, great rebounder for his position..
His problem is obviously that he's a terrible shooter, even worse than Jefferson, so I'm not sure how that would work..getting Chandler would mean more Bonner IMo..
I don't think this deal is going to happen though, it's the same old shit..
This would be amazing if true. Good call by SenorSpur. Like you, I used to get annoyed as well when the Spurs gave up first round draft picks but now they seem to have a solid youth foundation to build on. Chandler fits that perfectly. We need a backup sf, but I don't think anyone on the roster will fit that bill barring a trade.
This could be it.
Exactly. The Spurs would be trading youth for youth. Chandler can start too so if RJ isnt working out, he could move to the bench. But what will this mean for Simmons and Gee? Quite honestly, Gee's spot is less safe but I hope Gee stays.
Maybe this is why Gardner was waived so quickly so the Spurs could make room for Chandler.
I wont believe it though until I see a link from ace3g/Spurs Brazil/228 and a paragraph summary of Chandler's game/fit from timvp.
then you trade rj for a pile of dogshit

From what I understand, there is no actual trade for a first. There are scenarios in which the Knicks know they can get one if they need to.
CIA Pop....
We'll see what my man Trill Clinton has to say about this..
Get on it now!
Meh, I'm not very high on the Spurs giving the Knicks a first rounder for Chandler. I like Chandler but he wouldn't be a very good fit. He's not much of an outside shooter and scores in situations he wouldn't get on the Spurs (isos, fast breaks, hanging around the basket). Slice his scoring opportunities and is he really worth a first round pick? He'd have to become a much better defender.
If the Spurs would have let RJ and/or Bonner walk, I'd be all for it. With those two in the fold for the foreseeable future, where are the minutes? He's a quantity over quality type player. Without the skillset to play a specific role in the Spurs system, I'm afraid it'd just be another RJ-esque awkward fit.
I wanted Corey Brewer and Ebanks a month ago. If the Spurs acquire Chandler I would be a happy camper.
