Mike D'Antoni would like to know who he needs to blow to get Steve Nash on the Knicks for one year.

^It won't be Terry Porter.
tee, hee.
Why would the Knicks want to trade Stoudemire for Paul?
Do trades usually have good reasoning behind them?

Tyson Chandler near deal with Knicks

In the latest twist of his expected departure from the Dallas Mavericks, Tyson Chandler is closing in on a deal with the New York Knicks, according to sources close to the process.
"New York is Tyson's first choice," one source told ESPN.com, confirming a Thursday report from CBSSports.com that the Knicks have jumped ahead of the Golden State Warriors in the race to sign Chandler.
"It's 98 percent sure that Tyson is going to wind up with the Knicks."
To create sufficient salary-cap space to sign Chandler, New York is expected to shed the contracts of Chauncey Billups and Ronny Turiaf, through either trades or the forthcoming amnesty clause.
Signing Chandler, sources said, could free up the Knicks to offer star forward Amare Stoudemire to the New Orleans Hornets in a trade scenario for Chris Paul, who badly wants to reunite with Chandler after their time together with the Hornets.
CSNBayArea.com reported that the Warriors are trying to sweeten a four-year offer to Chandler valued at $60 million to outbid the Knicks.

Gee, where's all the Timberwolves, Bobcats, Kings, Wizards trades? What? No stars want to go to those teams?
lol compe ive balance.
lol trying to force NY into becoming a championship team (not going to happen).
Cutting Billups and not picking up the QO on Derrick Brown only gets their payroll down to $46.4 million with 8 players under contract. Add in 3 slots under 11 at minimum and that adds their cap number to $47.6 million. Since the cap this season is supposed to be the same as last season under the proposed CBA ($58.04 million), that leaves $10.4 million to sign Chandler. Of course if they do the Stoudemire for Paul trade it would open up another $2 million or so.
Amare must be bent over a New York sink about now.
tee, hee.
He's gotta be rooting hard for you ers to land Paul now.
Looks like CP3's wish to go to the Knicks is in the works.
Yep.
He'll have to be put on suicide watch if he's traded out of there.
trading turiaf for nothing also works.
I think the realistic question is: would you rather have Paul/Melo/Tyson or Amare/Melo/Average PG since the Knicks likely wouldn't be able to offer Paul the most money if he's a FA.
It's a legit question considering Amare & Melo arent the best of fits. Shifting the talent from Amare to Paul gets you equal talent with a better fit as Tyson is a better defender and doesn't need shots.
Not saying that's what's going on or if I agree with it, just my thoughts.
I read that as well. Amare is still a young beast and him and okafor could be a nice coup for NO.
If NY goes the amnesty route and decides to keep amare, they must trust Toney Douglas.
The 7 second offense is dead. Nash wouldn't resurrect it. Mike D is worthless.
If Pop had Amare, Melo and Billups, the Spurs would have made it to the Finals last year.
I don't get it. I know he had a poor playoffs but who do NY have to replace him at PF?
[QUOTE=DPG21920;5498577]I read that as well. Amare is still a young beast and him and okafor could be a nice coup for NO.
Hornets 2012 ??
G Chauncey Billups (Jarret Jack)
SG Marcus Thorton (Marco Belinelli)
F David West (Trevor Ariza, Carl Landry)
F Amare Stoudemire
C Okafur (Aaron Gray)
Turiaf at $4.3 million seems like it could be a pretty hard sell early in free agency.
[QUOTE=Darth_Hornet;5498639]7th Seed, swept by OKC.
lol David West would get dominated at the 3.
True. If Amare lands in NO, I don't think Hornets push to resign West.
[QUOTE=Darth_Hornet;5498639]They got thorton and Landry back? thorton was traded for Landry and is a RFA Landry I believe is a UFA ....
West is a UFA as well ...but details ...
I didn't write that lol
[QUOTE=Killakobe81;5498670]No and No, but both are on their radar according to Demps.
