^This! x 10. More athletic and the team would be able to run up and down. Melo is used to that style, and it would be more of the same for CP3 and Tyson Chandler. The next piece to solve would be the coach and bench. I guess this logic would just make too much sense.
I read it wrong my bad, but Amar'e has to be out. He would make them more of a half court team because he doesn't have the ability to run up and down like Chandler does. Amar'e is used to the high pick and roll. Can't you tell from the four games against the Celtics that that type of offense with Melo will NOT work.
*On a side note: all this Chauncey bashing needs to stop. If it wasn't for him, the Melo trade could have gone sour real soon. He kept things cool when Melo complained about the offense soon after. ADDITIONALLY, he has been a good influence on Tony Douglas' game in the short time he played with him. TD made better decisions and took less 3's and looked more like an efficient PG after Chauncey left. And he did it while not wanting to be here, so kill that noise.

QFT, Chauncey knew he was just a pawn in the midst of all this... He was a good sport and I wouldnt mind him on the team as long as that contract wasnt 14 million. The bashing is stupid, Billups has always been a stand up guy.Originally Posted by beh235

We won't trade Amare, CP3 will be dealt elsewhere.
Billups can go cry somewhere else with his millions of dollars he'll earn this year. It's a business, deal with it.

We couldnt even smell the playoffs before amare. If we got chandler, I dont think I would be too made if we traded him for CP3 simpy because we would have above avg players inside and out. But to say Amare didnt make NY basketball more exciting and worth watching is dumb. I am not saying he made us a contender when we got him I just said he brought ny basketball back to relevancy.

^ To your point there, this is why Chandler would be a better fit. Doesn't have to share the ball with Melo, plays better D, can run. Trade Amar'e and boom, you're in business. BUT I don't see it happening however, I could be wrong.

Knicks can still get CP3 without trading anyone. Watch.
I posted it in the other thread, but look at this new proposal in the CBA.
A new "renegotiation and extension" provision allows an existing contract to be renegotiated so the player is paid a smaller amount over a longer period, but the player's salary cannot decrease by more than 40 percent. Renegotiations previously could only increase a player's salary.
NO CLUE how that got in the CBA, but we'll take it.
Knicks could either extend Melo, Amare and Tyson for 1 year and not add money, or 2 years and add money but at a lower yearly clip to add money to sign CP3.
Just a thought. If I'm the Knicks, I do everything with the idea that there will be a work stoppage after 6 years of this CBA.

Looks like there's a trade being discussed where CP3 would go the Lakers in a 3 team trade. ESPN.com has the story here.

There will be another work stoppage in 6 years, nature of the beast.
And even if we can't get CP3, I'm confident Nash would come here next year to play with Amar'e/Pringles again and sign for the Vet minimum.

Hahn says it's a foregone conclusion, huh?
Aside from pulling Cp3/Dwight out of our #+*, this was as good of a move as possible, I think. Bring on the hate.
