The Knicks are concerned about using Wilson Chandler as their starting shooting guard and they remain interested in Portland's Rudy Fernandez.

The New York Post reports that the Knicks won't increase their offer for Fernandez, but they will listen if the Trail Blazers call about a trade.

Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni is reportedly considering moving Amar'e Stoudemire to center, moving Chandler to power forward and starting Roger Mason at shooting guard.

They're concerned about playing Chandler at SG, but are considering moving him to PF??? I can't even recall what their weak offer for Rudy was anyway? Wasn't the rumor Rudy for Chandler?

Would it make sense to package Miller with Rudy in some type of (perhaps, even 3-way) deal to get us a b/u PF?

 

[RR7]

They offered 2 seconds for Rudy.

We don't need no sloppy seconds.

I <3 ya ABM.. but you want to get rid of our starting PG for a backup PF?

I suppose it depended on who that player is. I mean, if you believe all the negative hype surrounding Oden, we may as well get a nice C/PF.

Miller and Rudy for Randolph and a pick.....I haven't even looked how that would work under the cap though

 

[hasoos]

Of course they are. I watched a real training camp on the Knicks. They were so bad in practice I was laughing. Horrible.

Yes please. That would really help NY, too. Although if we thinned the herd I'd still rather keep Rudy, if he wanted to be here.

we'd be even worse at PG IMO. Bayless I like but not as a starting 1. that leaves awfully green at the 1.. unless we are planning on giving the ball to Roy a lot more like he wants.

Rudy for Toney Douglas and Landry Fields.

done deal, where do I sign?

They wouldn't take 2 2nd rounders for Rudy, but you expect them to take two 2nd-round-caliber players? One of them being yet another Jerryd Bayless? Hmm...I don't think so.

I'd love to get Randolph, but who starts at the PG spot for us if we do that deal?

I'm all for getting younger and more talented, but we don't exactly have a cupboard full of PGs...

Whats the difference between a future 2nd round pick and Landry Fields?

I've watched a lot of Toney Douglas and he is more a distributor than Bayless. Can hit the 3 better than Bayless. The only thing they really have in common is their athletic abilities. I'd take Douglas over what we currently have at the 2nd unit PG position anyday.

One takes a roster spot to have ANY value and the other does not.

They are also about the same size and play the same position (at least for now). Getting one when you already have the other doesn't really make much sense to me.

Douglas is 2.5 years older than Bayless and I'm still optimistic that Bayless is going to emerge as a good player. I'll keep Bayless and Rudy rather than add a guy like Douglas.

I think that Bayless, right now, is a better "point guard" than Douglas, which isn't really meant as a compliment to either player in terms of true PG skills. I'd take Armon Johnson over Toney Douglas as well.

Yeah, this is exactly my take too. I think Randolph is a better long-term asset than Andre Miller, due to their difference in age...but it seems to really hurt Portland in the short-term.

 

[MickZagger]

I think a lot of people sleep on Toney Douglas. Were talking about matching up a guy who can shoot with Roy having the offense run through him, I think Douglas is a better option than Bayless. Then again, I've always kind of been a Bayless "hater" so maybe my perspective is a little jaded.

I'd still trade Rudy for Toney Douglas...

 

[Natebishop3]

I'd trade Rudy for Oberto...

 

[MickZagger]

A night after a 30 point performance against Chicago, Douglas went off for 19pts, 10reb and 5 stls against Washington tonight.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Given how Toney Douglas and Wilson Chandler have been playing for the Knicks, maybe we should've taken that offer...

 

[MickZagger]

Toney Douglas with straight thuggery tonight stripping the ball from the rook, John Wall on multiple occasions. I told you guys he has game. He's an Armon Johnson type gym rat and he's explosive as they get athletically.

Cho, trade Rudy for him, please!

Thank you

Sincerely,
McZagger

Douglas actually had a pretty decent year in limited minutes. But yeah, not taking Chandler or Douglas (if they were truly available) is looking kind of stupid.

Lol i wonder if the Knicks would still want any part of a trade like that.
