It'd be awesome to keep both but we only need one small forward...
Thats not even a fact...you're acting like Chandler is a SPEED DEMON, he's average at some things and below average at a lot of things.
At best, he's good.
We don't need good.
We need great.
Gallinari is going to be a great player in this league...even if his post defense is bad, he tries all the time on defense, and you can't say that about Chandler, who got softer game by game.
Honestly, the only thing that is going to change your mind is what will happen in the future.
You use to believe Crawford and Curry would lead the Knicks to winning...I told you they wouldn't. I got bashed by others for not being a "true Knick fan". Look at the results now. A couple of seasons waste with one of the worst experiments in sports history directed by IT.
Keeping Chandler is an Isiah move...we can't continue losing ways like this.
Chandler's value is good right now; we need to use it to improve the team.
D'Antoni likes an 8 man rotation
Right, it is
Duhon
Hughes
Gallinari
Harrington
Darko
Bench
Hill
Douglas
Jefferies
Missing like aways
Chandler
Too below average.
Worst backcourt in the NBA.
A frontcourt with no chemistry playing together, but having potential, size, and versatility.
This spells little success for the Knicks.
Only a fool would enter the 2009-10 season with that roster.
A FOOL.
Walsh understands he needs to make big changes now.
Keep
Danilo
Hill
Douglas
Darko
Sale
Duhon
Hughes
Harrington
Chandler
Duhon and Hughes are way too inefficient for a backcourt.
Even a rookie PG like Rubio is capable of producing more efficiency than those two.
Getting Rubio would secure us at the PG for a decade and a half.
Gallo got the 3.
Hill at the 4/5
If Darko makes a comeback, he got the 5.
All we need is a 2.
Chandler isn't a 2.
Anyone thinks so needs to look up Knicks tapes and watch him play.
Poor shooter.
Poor handles.
Not an intelligent player
Not aggressive enough.
We need a 2.
Big time two...Rubio, Gallo, Hill, Darko aren't going to beat you with their scoring.
SOOOO...Walsh should put those goes on sell and try to nab a high scoring 2 guard for RENT...even a guy like Ricky Davis or Corey Maggette would be nice.
Or we could move Gallo who does have handles, passing ability and great 3pt range at the 2, and use Harrington as our primary scoring option...though that won't spell much success since he's not efficient due to his poor shot selection/shoot percentage.
I LOVE THE KNICKS.
I know why you guys feel like I'm hating on ya boy.
But I just want the BEST for the team.
I said the same exact shit about Crawford, Curry, and Frye.
People were in love with their potential and felt they were untradable.
Look at those three now...Atlanta won't probably make the playoffs now since Jamal Crawford has that losing curse he brings to all the teams in the NBA...poor atlanta, they were on the rise and gave GS a GIFT.
Knicks are 14-14 with Gallinari.
Chandler isn't an aggressive player with a soft gentle game who doesn't make his teammates better.
Chandler isn't a great shooter like Gallinari.
Gallinari isn't the athlete Chandler is but has ability to get to the free throw line.
Even with a bad back, Gallinari was more agressive than Chandler last year.
Gallinari is a better perimeter defender also...despite what people expected him to be.
Trading Gallinari is something you would say.
I guess Isiah's cock is still in your mouth, thats why your afraid to let go of Wilson.
Its time to move on completely from Isiah.
No Nate
No Wilson
No Dave
No Jared
No Curry
^ They contribute to losing, except for Lee.
Yes Danilo
Yes Tony
Yes Jordan
Yes Darko
Yes Hughes
Yes Harrington
Yes Duhon
Yes Wilcox
Yes Sene
^ This is a much more better formula for our team.
How can you seriously depend on Wilson Chandler, whos probably the least aggressive player on this team?
Agreed with...most of it. I wouldn't trade Chandler if we didn't HAVE to but if it meant getting Rubio I'd give him up in a heartbeat since I do think Rubio is that good. Chandler is a decent player but we don't need another small forward and he's got high value now if we trade him. As of right now we have no backcourt whatsoever. Our frontcourt isn't terrible with Harrington (effective scorer), Darko (good shotblocker and defender), and Gallinari (good all-around player with excellent shooting) not to mention Hill as an effective backup for his first year and probably an F/C on our team for years to come. But we're currently starting Duhon and Larry Hughes. That might be one of the worst backcourts in the NBA. Rubio would be a start. But we need a quality shooting guard. Danilo is a good ball handler and shooter, but I don't think he's the scoring threat you want from the 2. I don't know what we'll do about it; perhaps we'll hold on to Hughes for now and go after a 2 guard in 2010 free agency?

If Darko makes a comeback, he got the 5.
Damn you Don Chris!!! Damn your mind.
Good reply tho.
No comeback here.
It seems that Minnesota is fine with letting Rubio play in Europe for 1 or 2 years as evident to the Flynn signing. Why trade Foye for Rubio and then trade Rubio for Chandler? Makes no sense.
Trading Foye for Rubio with the mindset to wait 2 years for Rubio to come over is a pretty good strategy for Minnesota. It benefits them to be bad for the next 2 years since their 1st round pick is only protected if it is in the bottom 10.
Minnesota is looking pretty good for the long term with the way they are building.
2007 - Jefferson
2008 - Love
2009 - Flynn and Ellington
2010 - Most likely 3 1st round picks, 2 in the top 15. (Minnesota, Charlotte and Utah)
2011 - Rubio comes to US..trade him or Flynn
As far as trading Wilson Chandler goes.. He should have more trade value next off season anyway. So wait another year to decide whether or not to give him a long term deal or trade him with an expiring contract (Curry/Jefferies) for a proven player to go with Lebron, Stoudemire or Bosh
