Do we resign or deal Chauncey Billups?
Do we trade Amar'e for CP3 and Okafor? (Then do we move Billups)
Do we trade down to stock pile some picks?
Do we trade Landry Fields?
Do we trade/fire Mike D'Antoni?
If we move Billups, do we draft a PG like Charles Jenkins from Hofstra?
Thoughts...
Just my :2cents:
I believe we've already picked up Billups' option for 2012. He will be our starting PG next year barring any trades for CP3, which I doubt will happen. I think if CP3 joins the Knicks, it will be as a 2012 offseason S&T deal or as a straight signing.
I don't see the Knicks trading STAT either, he's the guy this franchise plans to build around, not use as a trade chip.
I doubt we trade down to stock pile picks either. You're not going to get much for a #17 pick anyway. Possibly gain a 2nd rounder for moving down a few slots, but is it worth it? You can just buy a 2nd round pick using cash if you want to go that route.
Personally I think Landry Fields will only get traded in a CP3 deal, unless some talented young C becomes available, but that's probably even less likely to happen. But who knows with a new GM, maybe he doesn't see the same talent in Landry that Donnie did & decides to restock with new talent? Could happen.
I hope now that we're getting a new GM that MDA does get fired, but I have a gut feeling that he'll be the coach for his last year.
I think we'll draft a bigman in the draft personally. Kenneth Faried seems like the right fit for our needs for rebounding up front, but if MDA is our head coach he'll probably want someone with more offensive polish. Jajuan Johnson seems like a decent fit in that case. He blocks shots & can run the floor & finish. Not a great rebounder though.
