Knicks · Why Is It Okay To Trade Tyson But Not Felton? (page 1)

Or the idea to trade him in theory?

Keep in mind the prevailing rebuttal for Felton is that he's our only primary/starting point guard.

Well who is capable of starting center on this team besides Tyson and who is capable of getting 20reb on this team?

Who's contract is more valuable to us, now that we've somewhat messed up the 2015 financial outlook?

Tyson's expires before Felton right?


For the record I think we need to trade both

felton doesnt ahve much trade value. Felton wants to be in New York. rememebr how pissed he was when he was traded and how he gained like 30 lbs in Portland and played awful. Teams are probably scared that felton wont be motivated

Tyson has some trade value. Felton has zero. I would trade both but it's not happening. We can live with Tyson for the next 2yrs since we now have Bargnani as a second offensive threat. Inside and out

I am ok to trade anyone on the roster possibly except Shumpert. But Felton has low trade value, Tyson may get us a starting big to play Center and another role player.and again I don't believe any of this 2015 cap clearing BS.

You can trade anyone on the team window is closed. Melo can go to if you can't shoot 50% then your a fake superstar.

How can Felton not have trade value if his contract is viewed as a "steal" or "bargain"....

It's viewed as a steal or a bargain by people on this board - not necessarily the GMs in the NBA. But I guess you were being sarcastic?

You want to make a trade for the sake of making a trade..We are hoping to improve ...Chandler can possibly bring back a second scorer behind Melo..What are u trying to achieve by trading Felton??

Cap room to add pieces in the invent Melo stays...did you ever think your boy would need more help on the other side of 30 or not?

How is Tyson going to help improve the team, if the reason you're moving him because he tapped out to Hibbert?
