Amare and Tyson for Dwight Howard and pieces?

by raj m on Jan 23, 2012 8:53 PM EST

I was just browsing the Net and came across this. Granted it's from Steven A Smith so it might be conjecture at this point but if Orlando is stupid enough to do this am I the only one who thinks we are getting a steal?

even if we have to take back chris doodoo hon i'd say we'd be better off for it.

salary wise it would work if we did something along the lines of

amare/ tyson/ fields/ douglas

for

d12/ hedo / glen davis / duhon

i think it makes us a better team. orlando dumps all it’s bad contracts and still gets value and stays competitive. we’d be doing chandler and amare kind of dirty but it’s a business.

I want to see ...

What a real coach could do with this team first before we blow it apart. That seems reasonable and prudent, which of course means the Knicks will never do it !!

That's why Mikey should get to the end of the season

So we can see what a real coach can do with a real roster, or at least a real PG added to the roster. And to the main post, hell no I wouldn’t do that. Let’s keep blowing up the roster and moving sideways. so much fun.

I do agree that he will (and should)

get to the end of the season to coach this team. I don’t believe he is the right coach for this team tho…

You just got Tysoned!!!!!!

Just a little?

it's a bad karma move...

but a smart basketball move… i guess.

baron/duhon
shump/bully
hedo/balkman/novak
big baby/jorts
d12/jordan?

ahh shit… i dunno anymore. i guess a dominant scorer + the most dominant defender, who won’t get in each others way might work. not the most likable squad… but that’s what shump and jorts are for.

I think knicks would ask for ryan anderson and not big baby. ryan would get 5 mpg at best playing behind amare anyway.

by bababooey2 on Jan 24, 2012 12:45 AM EST up reply actions

stan's a better coach than that

he would get ryan playing time, especially since they rely on the 3 a little too much too in that offense

what melo smart guy

by knickfan4life on Jan 24, 2012 9:54 AM EST up reply actions

baron/duhon/bibby
shump/bully/
melo/hedo/novak
bigbaby/jorts/balkman
d12/jordan/

I guess we would have some cap space too, or do Duhon/Big Baby/Hedo make the same as Tyson/Landry/TD?

as a knick fan......

i like it… melo can shoot anything and dwight will rebound what ever he miss and it give us a chance to pick up a pg.

i think in a deal like that the knicks would get ryan anderson since he is a pure power forward

no more trades involving big names please

there are trades to be made, and hopefully a player currently in China can be signed, but let’s see where this team takes us. It’s been like 15 games

shit yes and twice on tuesday!

but it wont happen because it would make to much sense. We have a bad mix of “talent” , but thats been known for awhile.

We don't need anybody

Seriously, we are just playing the wrong guys.

Dump Melo
If that doesn't work dump Pringles

Too early to hit panic button

I think we need to see this team at full strength first before blowing it up

You just got Tysoned!!!!!!

They are not going to do that trade...

Amare’s age + his health + his production this year = they’d have to be crazy

If they have a change of getting Bynum, who while also injury prone is younger and more productive, you make that trade first. That means you also get Howard out of the East where you have to face him on a regular basis.

It’s nice to fantasize, but this ain’t gonna happen.

When I get in the game... win or lose... you know it's pretty much over.

I meant a "chance", not a "change"

this isn’t my idea. just going off what SA Smith said.

Sorry but this would be horrible.

Sure, Dwight Howard is stellar. But I honestly would ratehr have the combination of Amare/Chandler over Howard since BOTH guys can actually hit their FTs at a high % and both are quite proven as frontcourt players.

PLUS…. when did Glen Davis become such a value player? He kinda sucks. And worse, he clamors for minutes. If he doesn’t get minutes, the Big Baby comes out. Is THAT what we want? The dude will forever be a role player off the bench. Is it worth trading two all-star starters to get 1 all-star starter and marginal bench players?
Hedo Turkoglu? He has shown how good he is away from the Magic. Remember his year in Toronto? Portland is STILL thanking their lucky stars for Hedo backing out of the contract he initially intended to sign with them. Hell, he’s not even that great with the Magic. He also has a tendency to complain when he doesn’t get his way.

The Magic would poop in their pants out of excitement to replace Dwight Howard with 2 All-NBA players while also moving two players with expensive contracts and reputations of complaining.
This is exactly the sort of trade the Knicks shouldn’t make. In landing Dwight Howard, the Knicks would still be losers because our frontcourt would still suck and we’d be stuck with no money and overpriced players. At least right now, we have no money but we have good players!
