Bargnani to play Center?

Chandler obsolete...

And no way the Knicks will pay Stat, Chandler and Bargnani $96,788,307 over the next 2 seasons...

Speculation is David Lee for Tyson Chandler...

What a mess this is turning into.

If this is the case, then I want a 2014 pick thrown in somehow, someway.

Well trading Lee for Chandler would amount to paying Lee, Stat, and Bargnani about the same 96M over the next two seasons. While I like David Lee it does not make sense to trade away the one defensive presence you have inside.

I don't know how I feel about this, players for player is a good trade, considering stat and bargnani will split time at the 4 which is ok, actually a good idea. However, the draft picks? Are you ****in kidding me? That's dumb I would rather have them take back amir Johnson.

On another note, chandler for DLee sounds good. But who the hell will be our center? Wed have no defense at the 4-5 what's so ever.

God help the Knicks this off season from self imploding

If we can get picks from taking Lee and someone else, whomever that is for Chandler then I am all for it... Lee is an offensive weapon and would be utilized well on the bench rotation... On the other hand could be Lee would go elsewhere to a third team and we would acquire some other pieces...

DLee with Stat and Bargnani minus TC is not something I see Grunny doing but the Warriors want to dump DLee and his huge contract so maybe the deal happens if we can get a 2014 first rounder.

Bargnani? I gotta say I don't really understand this move, an injury-prone bigman with no defensive/rebounding skills whatsoever... and $23M on his contract over the next two seasons. What concerns Chandler, he's not going anywhere, despite a horrible season he's still our 2nd best player and defensive anchor. Damn, this team is pretty much built around him and Carmelo.

One of the worst trades in the past few years. I don't see how this benefits us in any way. No team with Bargnani is ever gonna be successful

How much money do we save with Bargnani? I know Novak's deal ends in 2016.

What's good with Andrea's contract?

@metro: nothing, financially we're way worse off this deal, Camby and Novak combined had $18.6M left on their contracts until 2015 and 2016 respectively. Bargniani was supposed to get $23M over the next two seasons, but considering that according to some sources this trade includes the so-called trade kicker it could be way more than that. In other words, salary-wise this deal sucks big time.

I want to like this move because it's an aggressive move, but I feel like we'll all hate this move 2-3 years from now.

From what I see, most people hate this deal with a passion right now.

Lets go Yankees.

Please understand we replaced camby with a starter. We got younger. He's cope but better.... Yeah we lost a draft pick but we'll get them back when we trade amares expiring contract in a few seasons. Good move. Aggressive.

Maybe I am missing something. Bargnani's salary for next year is about $11M. The combined salaries of Camby and Novak for next year total about $7M. We are well over the cap. I know there is some extra room in trades, but I do not think it amounts to $4M. What am I missing? I know we have a trade exception of about $1M because of the Brewer trade but I do not think we can use that in this context.
