Tyson Chandler to the Knicks?


The rumor mill has been blowing up as the signing period begins tomorrow, and to little surprise, the Knicks are on the tip of everybody’s tongue. And just today, to much surprise, it was revealed that Tyson Chandler may end up in NYC this season. According to Marc Stein at ESPNDallas.com, “‘New York is Tyson’s first choice,’ one source told ESPN.com, confirming a Thursday report from CBSSports.com that the Knicks have jumped ahead of the Golden State Warriors in the race to sign Chandler. ‘It’s 98 percent sure that Tyson is going to wind up with the Knicks.To create sufficient salary-cap space to sign Chandler, New York is expected to shed the contracts of Chauncey Billups and Ronny Turiaf, through either trades or the forthcoming amnesty clause.”

If the Knicks do in fact sign Chandler, things may get even crazier: “Signing Chandler, sources said, could free up the Knicks to offer star forward Amare Stoudemire to the New Orleans Hornets in a trade scenario for Chris Paul, who badly wants to reunite with Chandler after their time together with the Hornets.”

Who knows how much validity there is to these rumors, but one things for sure: we are in for a helluva abbreviated offseason.

    Your right Teddy. He said a few stupid things on a few posts. And it’s just been one of those days where I feel like being a d*ck. Had to apologize to a few people today. My B.

    I like shumpert as pg, knicks gotta drop billups for any mobility anyway. Shumpert, fields, melo, amare and chandler starting 5. thats a good lineup

  • Tre

    Dang, where in the world are the Knicks gon get a pg from??? But I like the chandler deal tho, it gives them a security blanket for melo and amare… Do they still have a mid level tho?? If they do then they can get a pg somewhere…

    this move killed their chances for cp3…Miami looking real good, with newyork with no pg and la with no bench or pf….It has begone.

    Someone must REALLY believe that Iman Shumpert is going to be a problem if they’re letting Billups go. Seriously, we need a PG!!!

    Chandler is getting paid so don’t expect too much out of him this season..

    Ha! With Billups leaving I’m sure that will start up the Steve Nash to New York rumours as well. I think it would be funny if New York traded Amar’e. I never thought he was a max player. No defense, no heart, no testicular fortitude…he just isn’t the guy you can build around which is ultimately why New Orleans wouldn’t make that trade. Can I ask a small favour of you postes though? Can you type in English? When you write in ebonics it makes you look like a complete moron. Aiight?

    ^ Right… because thy comments art brimming with intellect. SMH. You’re just on a roll now aren’t you, Justin?
    While you’re at it, watch your comma splices and your spelling. What exactly are postes?
