If the Knicks keep struggling, the focus will spread from the coaching to the roster, and sources advise not to be surprised if the notion of a possible deal sending Amar'e Stoudemire to Orlando for Howard gains traction. If the Magic opt to convert Howard into a superstar of reasonably comparable stature, they could do a lot worse than selling Stoudemire -- a central Florida native -- to their restless fan base. The biggest issue would be Stoudemire's uninsurable knees, but there is risk involved in every scenario Orlando will be presented with between now and March 15. From the Knicks' standpoint, such an arrangement would break up the ill-fitting offensive combo of Stoudemire and Anthony and allow the versatile Chandler to move to the power forward spot, where he'd be a terror as a weak-side shot blocker and in Stoudemire's spot as the roll man in D'Antoni's pick-and-roll offense. A deeper question exists in whether Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan would sign off on trading Stoudemire, who was the only star willing to commit to the Knicks and embrace the challenges of New York in July 2010. For the aforementioned reasons, sources say it's plausible but unlikely that the Knicks and Orlando would be able to get any such talks off the ground. For one thing, it makes too much sense.

I thought Ken Berger was better than this.

It’s near the bottom. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
For one thing, it makes too much sense.
Berger would think this. Before we got Chandler, this makes some sense. But after we got Chandler, getting Howard makes no sense. I hate this trade permutation bullshit anyway, but if we’re talking about a deal anywhere its got to be for a PG.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Yeah, exactly.
I don’t understand how he could think this was a good idea. Chandler at PF? No thanks. And we would still need a PG.
Don't Think
Then we trade D. Howard for B. Griffin and C. Kaman.
Make it it a four-team deal with the Hornets to get C. Kaman involved.
Our Starting lineup PG/B. Davis SG/ I. Shumpert SF/ C. Anthony PF/ B. Griffin C/ T. Chandler.
6th man will be O.J. Mayo after we send a future First Round pick from the trade.
After that fire D’Antoni and his clownpuppy offense.
