Since Lin and Melo appear to be off limits and it will be tough to move Amare alone, we may be limited to considering trades involving Tyson Chandler to improve the team. I've identified 15 trades for your consideration. Note that some of the deals would have to be made via sign-and-trades (S&Ts) and players on those teams would have to want to play for Knicks. Also some deals would involve Amare moving to 5 and maybe Melo to 4. Note also that TD could be thrown into or removed from almost any of the trades (too complex to explain). I certainly don't claim the other teams would make the trades, only that the deals are probably in the realm of possibility.

I've put the first trade in a poll. Every week or so (if software allows it) I plan to replace the existing poll with a different one involving another one of the deals below (maybe 5 or 6 more). I'll update this post with the results for each poll. So now put on your GM hat and tell us which you'd pull the trigger on.

1. Chandler/TD for Ray Allen/Garnett (Allen/Garnett are UFAs/sign via S&Ts/split $16-18m between them)

2. Chandler/TD for Gortat/Nash (UFA Nash via S&T/we could match $10m phoenix offer to Nash)

3. Chandler/TD for Deron Williams (via S&T or extend-and-trade)

4a Chandler/Amare for Dwight Howard/Hedo Turkoglu
4b Chandler/Shump/TD for Howard

5a Chandler for Horford (rumors are Hawks are looking to trade Horford)
5b Chandler for Horford/Teague

6a Chandler for Igoudala (current 76ers center Hawes will be UFA)
6b Chandler for Igoudala/Holiday

7a Chandler for Camby/Lowry (Camby via S&T)
7b Chandler/TD for Camby/Martin
7c Chandler for Dalembert/Scola

8. Chandler for Pekovic/Barea (frees up about 4.5m in cap)

9. Chandler for Stuckey/Villanueva

10. Chandler/TD for Bargnani/DeRozan

11. Chandler for Gooden/Ilyasova (Ilyasova via S&T)

12. Chandler/TD for Odom/Marion (Odom on 1 year contract, Marion 2 years)

13. Chandler for Aldridge

14. Chandler for Al Jefferson

15. Chandler for Marc Gasol
