Isn't that trade impossible for 2 reasons:Originally Posted by Ballinsam23
TD, fields, billups, 2 future unprotected picks for CP3 and okafor. Supposedly, Okafor is the deal breaker for us. Anyone heard of this rumor?
1) You can't trade first rd picks in consecutive years, so since 2012 is going to houston and 2014 to Denver, I don't get what the picks are unless they're unprotected 2nd round picks.
2) TD, Fields and Billups make about 16 million combined. Chris Paul alone makes about 16. How does Okafor fit in (he makes 12.5)?
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I don't dislike Billups, and I dont think we necessarily need Chris Paul. I think the Knicks can win with Chauncey, and he won't demand a max contract after this year so we can add other pieces if we bring him back. He plays hard, competes night in and night out, and can run an offense. I could be wrong, bc the team didn't look too smooth on offense last year in the short time they were all healthy, but I think stopping other teams is going to be the biggest problem. I remember losing to the Cavs several times bc we couldn't guard anyone inside or rebound. Would love it if the Knicks got Jeff Foster, but I think he gets more than a minimum, no?
