Shane Larkin is probably part of this too

I like the deal, I think we get a 2nd round pick also. I would have traded you Chandler for JC and Dalembert straight up but to get those other assets is a great deal IMO.

It's in advanced stages more than likely a done deal before end of day.

future 2nd round pick, not for this year.
In proposed deal, Dallas would send the Knicks its 2014 second round picks: Nos. 34 and 51, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Calderon has a pretty huge deal of 6 plus million a year,,,,,,,I guess he is the PG for the next 2 or 3 years..........
Maybe a 3rd team and Larkin and Shump together get us a 1st rounder...
I like the fact we got those picks in tomorrow's draft. Dollar's to Donuts Chumpert gets traded to OKC for a first rounder one of those picks may be coupled with it to get higher in the first round.
Appears Phil is trying to make sure he gets one of those guys we worked out this summer. He wasn't going to be able to buy into this draft otherwise therefore had to make this trade taking on approximately $5mil additional salary for 2015. If you look at it from a basic fiscal fundamental perspective....picks 34 and 51 cost us $5mil dollars although Phil trims the payroll lowering overall cap to lessen the Tax hit. He may have even put money back in Dolan's pockets with such tax relief since we were a repeater rate team.
Phil did a good job covering all his bases here. This is somewhat similar to the kind of deals Philly did at the deadline this past season. These are the deals you have to make. Make no mistake about it we are going to suck next year.
I love this trade. I love that it means we don't have to watch another season of Chandler and Felton, when we already knew neither of them should be part of this team's future. I love how this also shows that PJ came to play as a GM. This is no lazy move here, this took some maneuvering to get the deal that we got, in particular, a starting caliber PG point guard in Calderon who Nash just said is perfect to run the triangle (yeah, Calderon's defense is trash, but so was Felton's). Maybe the best part is that there seems to be some more big things to come. Imagine we deal Melo for 24 year old scoring stud Harden or we package something to get us into the middle of the 1st round in the draft. I can't remember the last time I was excited to see what moves our front office was going to make next, instead of dreading them. Let's go Knicks!
Oh, and the best to Tyson Chandler in Dallas. He had one great season for us (DPOY) and he was one of the better human beings we ever had on our roster. This last season was just a mess. Bon voyage Felton, this second stint with us was kinda trash, but we'll always have that great half season you played with STAT before the Melo trade, you knucklehead.
agreed on all points. i'd give you rep but somehow i haven't spread it around enough... does anyone really care about rep anymore?
rep this! 8=======D
