You want to talk blockbuster, why not throw the house at the Hornets who are a struggling franchise financially and go for Chris Paul.
Give them a Marbury type deal. Give them this years first round pick and 2012's first round pick. Along with Nate and some expiring contracts that make it work.
Tyson Chandler is an underachiever who apparently has a bad toe injury. He's really had 1 and 1/2 good NBA seasons so i wouldn't be getting all hyped up on getting Tyson Chandler.
Now going after Chris Paul i'd get excited about. Its probably about 5% chance of happening but its worth a shot.
Plus if we have a PG like Paul and superstar friendly coach like D'Antoni we'll have no problem recruiting players to play in NY.
Something like
Hughes
Chandler
Sign and Trade Nate Robinson
1st Round pick 2009 and other stuff
for
Chris Paul
Tyson Chandler
Chandler isn't worth it. Give everything we can for Paul!This......

Nah, the hornets would never trade Chris Paul. He is their franchise and there is probably nothing the knicks can offer that will interest them.
I'd rather wait until Tyson Chandler is a FA after next year since the knicks won't be competing anyway next season.

I thought the same thing at once, but really what is the difference between adding him this year as opposed to next? I mean lets say he comes here this coming season, the team shows some promise and we are more attractive to FA's in 2010.
The problem is, if we did execute a trade it would for sure spell the end for either Lee or Nate. Adding Chandler fills the biggest need we have. Trade Q for him straight up, no need to throw in a pick because his numbers did dip this season and he did have a trade for him voided because of an injury
Stephen Curry (draft pick)/Duhon
Larry Hughes/Nate
Wilson/Danillo
Harrington/Danillo
Chandler/Curry/Jefferies
39 W 43 L possible playoff birth with some promise. Now package Harrington and Wilson for Prince, slide Danillo at the 3 sign AI to a MLE deal and now we're getting somewhere.
The Hornets are in a financial shit heap though and are rumored to be trading both Chandler & Peja this off season for the sake of Johnny Ca$h. Apparently Mark Cuban is going to make a mad run at Chris Paul this off season while the Hornets are desperate to save/trade as much money as possible.Only difference is the Hornets wanted to trade Chandler for expiring contracts that ended after this season. Now that they were not able to make a trade they might as well keep him since he is an expiring contract.
Why would they trade him for another expiring contract with far less value to their team? The only reason they would is if they got young talent in return or draft picks. Something I really hope the Knicks don't do.
Just wait for Chandler to be a FA.
Chandler should pay 50% of his salary to Chris Paul. Without him, he is NOTHING. If The Knicks go after him they are dumb, besides I think we've had enough of those Bulls players, don't you?
just a random thought, could the "coach of the year" curse strike again? who was the coty last year? u guessed it byron scott. if the hornets lose game 5 (which seems to be a given to many ppl) and start off next season a lil slow, scott cud be the next victim and lose his job. who wuda eva thought last year he cud possibly lose his job? seems like a possibility. is mike brown next?
