New New York
Quiet Storm
I have said it before, Wilson is my favorite player on our roster.....but I have also stressed that he can play mutiple positons but his best fit is at the SF spot which is currently belonging to Gallo.
Plus like I also said before 30 million in cap space is good, but it does not buy us a complete team some more moves need to be made
So what to do with my favorite Knick? Well our trades would vary depending on who we picked up. today lets look at trades if we landed Bosh.
side note: with every FA signing I am assuming we sign Lee to an extension for 9 million
My biggest areas of concerns with this roster even after getting Bosh are, reliable PG,SG, and our lack of depth. Lets see what we can adress with trades consisting of Wilson
Portland trades Rudy Fernandez and Bayless to us for Wilson Chandler and Toney Douglas
Run Down: I know that some of you think getting Fernandez for Wilson would be a one sided trade in our favor, but Wilson has clearly out played Rudy thus far in their careers, factor in Rudy's injury and his low career FG% and you could make a case for us insisting on a pick in this deal. But numbers don't tell the whole story, Rudy's style of play is tailor made for Dantoni and Bayless is a better PG option than Douglas who is in the mold of Stephon Curry who Walsh and Dantoni wanted bad. Bayless has been a disappointment thus far, but could turn things around in NY
Lineup
Bayless/Rodriguez(signed for cheap with remaining cap)
Fernandez/Bayless
Gallo/Harrington(signed for cheap)
Lee/Gallo
Bosh/Lee
Likelyhood:35%
Minny Trades us Ricky Rubio for Wilson Chandler
Run Down: Frankly Flynn is a beast. Everyone is gassed off of Brandon Jennings, but Flynn is my dude! Look the 3 PGs Minny picked up assured them that they are good at the PG spot if not at any other position. I know Minny is going to want Superstar talent in return for Rubio, but teams are not going to give up superstar quality for a player who has the option never to join them. Now I know if Clev. Boston or The Lakers put together a package to get Ricky he would come, but what are any of those teams realistically willing to give up for him? And of what any of them is willing to give up could be better than Chandler?
Rubio/Douglas
Manu (signed for 11 million remaining)/Douglas
Gallo/Manu
Lee/Bosh
Bosh/Curry
Likelyhood:25% chance of happening
Ramon Sessions and their 13th pick in this year's draft for Wilson
Run Down:Another deal to snag one of the PG's I feel Minny stole from us last off season! This gives us a legit starting PG, Ramon's numbers have dipped only because his minutes have....and he still has nearly out played our starting PG! Give him Duhon minutes and he is good for 14 and 9...... A -gulp!- 10% 3pt shooter is pathetic but he has only taken 10, and unlike Duhon he can beat his man off the dribble thus making up for bad 3pt . Plus if our coaches can improve Jefferies' shootin then really anyone has a chance! A former player of Dan Dantoni...for whatever that is worth!
Likelyhood: 50%
Charlotte:Augistine and TysonChandler for Wilson and Curry
This adds depth to our frontcort and gives us a nice starting PG. Wilson is a two way player who Brown would love. Brown for whatever reason has always liked Curry and this would give him a season to try him out, the Bobcats have been playing fine without him for the most part this season -in fact their win streak started when he went down!-, Curry of course is a non factor to us. This deal saves Charlotte 1.8 million and for a broke franchise that helps out a whole lot!
Augistine/Douglas
Manu (signed for 11 million remaining )/Douglas
Gallo/Manu
Lee/Bosh/Gallo
Bosh/Tyson Chandler
