I know it's not gonna happen, but I'd love Lawson as our back-up PG.

To add to that, I'm more and more comfortable seeing him play. He's become consistent, which is what we all wanted. He's played like this other seasons, just not every game. I want him to stay a Knick forever.Chandler has improved each year. I'll rather wait to the end of the year to see how much he is going to improve...as of right now he still looks like he's getting better.
He is a great fit for the team, home grown, and a rare very versatile, young, up and coming talent. He is too much of an asset to the team. Easily, there are other players (in the same position) that are way more expendable. Real knick fans want a team that can bring in titles...We need to keep Wilson because he's a productive player (in many ways). The Knicks brass will probably don the asshats of the year awards If they let Wilson go before Gallo. Especially if they don't add to the team what they lost in him.
The Knicks are acting like they want to win, so the players on the team must be tough and consistant contributors. So, trading WC is not a good move.
i think wilsons major change this year is leadership.. which he did not have on the past.. it seems Stat And Felton have given him confidence that he needed..
Chandler is not a leader.. but will run thru the wall for true leaders...
that being said .. if melo is not traded and we plan to sign him in the offseason then we will lose chandler anyway.. we wont have enough cap room.
if thats Donnie's plan.. then he has to be traded...i dont see how we can get melo with out giving up gallo or chandler or both... but if we trade for melo without giving up chandler.. then we can extend him in the summer...
they only way you keep chandler is if you know you cant get melo
What helped Chandler was moving to the 4...
Agreed. We want our team to be better, but for once I want to see loyalty.Chandler is that dude, i would love to see us keep him especially since hes the only player left from our worst era ever so it'd be nice to see him have success in new york after a depressing beginning. Like one of you said hes not a leader but he'll go to war for a leader. If he gets traded and the knicks are improved because of it, then I understand. At the end of the day its a business but i gotta admit i would hate to see him gone
Let's be honest. We all know that Wilson Chandler is overrated. Trading him now is like selling your stock option right before they drop its value on the market. IMO he has touched his ceiling taking benefit of D'Antoni's system. He won't make an impact in any other team. He has some none coachable flows in his game. He's a tweener, he has low IQ. Best case scenario for him is to develop in a sort of Stephen Jackson. Any team who has Wilson Chandler as a factor is damned to failure. We need to deal with him to get as much as we can. Let's pray for a franchise believing in him as a real prospect.
If Wilson plays good in the system why get rid of him? I'm sure the money will be a non issue (he already said he dosen't want to leave NY). He plays great here, I strongly feel some people want him to go because he is better than Gallo...
Chandler might have been held back from injury the past couple of seasons. He's consistent now and is shooting better then Gallinari.They are completely different players. Gallinari has a lot more potential than Wilson Chandler. He can create his own shots, he's a good passer, he can develop a whole bunch of aspects in his game that are coachable or come with experience. Do you have any doubt on which one is going to have a better career in the NBA in or out the Knicks?

At least this potential argument is better than the AR potential argument. Gallo has shown his smarts and has helped win games big time. Some games his offense is nowhere to be found though. Chandler's offense and defense is there almost every game.
