    Before you discredit the source, he's broken a lot of sport stories and is pretty reputable, especially in NY sports.

    Wonder what the knicks would want...

    his cap number is 14M$, dont know how we could make it work

    Don't see how we could realistically make it work (where they would like the deal) unless we gave up a starter. Not going to happen for Chandler.

    The salary is for this year and next (player option for 14.5M). A big chunk to swallow. I would love to have him as backup C though.

    It actually works for Robinson, Wright, Leonard and Claver.

    Is Robinson and Leonard too much? If Chandler could come back and be 75% that would probably be worth it.

    This doesn't give NY any salary relief, but it would give them younger talent. But, if we are talking to them then they already know we don't have any expiring contracts.

    If he's willing to play back up Center and we don't trade any starters, go for it!

    TRob, Wright, Leonard and CJ would be $10.7 million. Since we can take back 150% of those contracts I think that would be enough for Chanlders $14.1 million deal. It would save the Knicks a lot of luxury tax this year and next ($20+ million?). We could also give them a 2018 first round pick.

    I love CJ upside on this team but if he can be the main piece to get a legit big off the bench we have to consider it.

    Gotta get a third team involved. We don't really have the expendable salaries to send them in return.

    Something like this:

    Chandler and Shumpert to POR
    CJ, Leonard, Felton to BOS
    Rondo and D Wright to NYK

    All depends on how set we are to make a real big run this year.

    Sorry, not sure what you are trying to get across with this question.

    I don't think you can pay a backup that kind of cash and rolo has been huge for us I don't know if you could take his start and not fuck up chemistry. Who knows they are all pros they could hold a team meeting and decide if they'd accept Chandler into the club. IMO he's not that great and I still hate him from the playoff series when mavs took it all, we were the hardest team for them that whole run.

    Not true. Robinson, Wright, Leonard and Claver works.

    The thought of a Lopez/Chandler center rotation is amazing!

    Get it done NeO.

    Felt that was too much youth to give up for Chandler. I kinda wanna hold on to at least one of TRob/Meyers.

    Why would we want Shumpert? Salary dump by NYK?

    Would rather go after Asik than Chandler.
    Unless NYK have a unprotected 1st round pick to throw in the deal, we don't have any pieces that would be worth trading for Chandler.

    It is something you would want to think about. But, if Chandler were healthy for 10-20 min off the bench for two years of playoffs, I would certainly consider it. You don't get that many shots at the top and I would like to have him on my team if I got there.
