Bell as in Raja Bell? Is still as good a defender or has he slowed down? Must confess I haven't followed him much.

oh that's awesome... anyone have a link?

so we paid Tyson Chandler more than Marc Gasol?

Its only 3 million more total over 4 years but Why didn't we offer that to Marc Gasol?

I'd rather have Chandler on *this* team... I'm not too fussed over Dolan's money

Knicksfan @ 12/12/2011 5:15 AM
Chris Paul to the Clipps for Bledsoe, Aminu, Kaman and Minn's #1

Saving face for the Comish, or is it the soon-to-be owners of the Hornets?

Paul with Griffin? Lakers who?

because memphis is going to match.

And Chandler is a better fit for what we need, which is rebounding, shot-blocking, and defensive intensity.

most likely because the knicks knew memphis would match and didn't want to risk tyson signing with another team in the meantime.

plus, tyson fits this team better, since we don't really need gasol's scoring. tyson is a better defender and rebounder.

because Chandler wanted to come here. Hey, seeing him in the media day video, he looks like a Knick. Not everyone can pull that off but we have a few players now that seem like true Knicks.

Baron davis should "play the billups card" tell no one to pick him up so he can come here

So Around the League December 12, 2011

Cavs- Baron Davis expected to be amnestied and signed by New York. - Yeah, but there is no sign of when will the Cavs do it and no sign on the Knicks being interested if it happens.

Cavs sign Anthony Parker for 1-yr 2.25 mill - Really, we couldn't have tried to get him instead of trying in vain to get Barea or Crawford Not that I don't like the effort on those guys, but Parker would've helped here. Now, could this mean Baron goes soon?

Hornets- Chris Paul will be traded to the Clippers in a good deal for the teams involved... - Finally, Stern saves face

T-Wolves- Barea signs with Wolves for 4 yrs, 19 mill - So clearly, after winning a ring, Barea just wanted to cash in. Some reports say he was really close to signing in NY, but that is moot now. He joins a team with 13 PGs and isn't even assured a starting spot. Yet, he said the Wolves will make the playoffs. I like you, Barea, but get freaking real.

Mavs- Delonte West signs 1-yr deal with Dallas... to substitute Barea - Really... Only Dwight Howard can get Dallas back in real contention.

Clippers- Chris Paul wont be traded to the Clippers... - And the circus continues. Isn't it surprising that a circus doesn't really relates to us. Of course, if this keeps up I will start believing we could sign Paul for the mid level while he sues the league for 50+ mill.

Grizzlies- Marc Gasol stays after they match Rockets offer - Still wonder the difference between Gasol and Tyson?

Clippers- Match Jordan offer - Clipps thinking NOW

Clippers- Win Chauncey Billups - All NY sighs relief that Chauncey will not sign in the East. Will Chauncey keep his villain role and start dressing in black with "Hollywood" sunglasses while he misses the point that the Clips might have a better chance than the Lakers to make the playoffs for the first time since the beginning of mankind? Clips made some NY fans here.

Wolves- Interested in Crawford - Do they really want an "all guard" team or are they simply doing it to piss us off? Kahn doesn't know Walsh is gone, so he can't compete with him anymore?

Lakers- Kobe mad, front office looking at more options than Paul, Howard - They going crazy to do something, anything

Pacers- Close to dealing for Mayo, waiting on Crawford - NBA teams sure didn't read the script "Craw returns to Big Apple"

Knicks- Close to signing Jordan after buyout, sign Devin Green and Chris Hunter - Other than Bibby, Knicks pleasing their fans

Mavs- Looking to clear cap, Brewer and Fernandez could go - No, you aren't a horrible person for laughing
