**Official 2010 NY knicks pre-season thread** 10/6 vs T-wolves (PARIS) 2PM MSG/NBA TV

[Mister Meaner]

Are you guys sold on moving Chandler just because you think he's hit his ceiling, no place in the lineup, or just a valuable asset for trade bait? I, for one, have high hopes for him to be a beast of a player coming off the bench. His role should be no more than running the break and developing his defense.

Of course, if the right scenario comes along, the decision to move him must be made, but the impression I've gotten on these last few pages (with the exception of the Fernandez speculation) is that he's ripe for the picking for almost anyone.

Somewhere between hes almost at his ceiling, and because we have too many wing players. However, the rest of the league doesnt seem him as that good.

He has a lot of potential but I don't think he'll ever become a dominant scorer, master defensive stopper, etc. Just a good to great role player on a team. I mean what he has on his side youth and that's probably the best part about him. I had higher hopes for Frye and he's just stagnated any additional growth as a big man; homey adds a 3 point shot

So I think if we can trade him in a package deal for better players we should same with others on the team.

But anyway, Chandler just seems like the guy that comes off your bench and puts in work. If he proves me wrong though

I guess it's because the league lives by the mantra, "A player is only as good as his team".
