Randolph is the only guy worth giving them back their picks. Danilo Gallinari they want to use for the Carmelo trade so thats not happening. I think Randolph might be worth it? Thats depending on what we see from Patterson and Hill anyways who are already good young bigs themselves. Maybe swap Hill and their first rounder back for Randolph?
Well yesterday this guy broke this story supposidly he's an reliable source in the new york area supposidly he broke the darrelle revis resigning with the jets news before the media did and has broke many other stories before http://twitter.com/incarceratedbob "Ok after the Yankess news - I am working on Knicks rumored trade of Wilson Chandler to Spurs - Nothing done yet but man is it getting hot " "Im gathering all the info i can but right now the Spurs are giving Knicks the option to use them in any Melo deal. Nothing done "
Haven't seen it reported on any major networks yet. Hope it's just leaked info thing like the Rockets were a couple of days ago.
Carmelo wants to play for the Knicks. He wants the glamor. I thought he'd settle for the Nets, but I guess not. The Spurs get a nice pick up, plus they severely damage the assets of a division rival. Hopefully, Morey can ####block, but I don't see how that's possible.
http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/kn...-acquire-1st-rd-pick-if-needed-for-melo-trade Knicks can acquire 1st Rd pick, if needed, for 'Melo trade By Chris Sheridan I tweeted about this yesterday, and I spoke about it on ESPN 1050 radio in New York this afternoon, and I'm blogging it now. The news is this: A high-level NBA source assures me that the New York Knicks are confident they can acquire a 2011 first-round draft pick, if they need one, as part of a package they would put together and offer in exchange for Carmelo Anthony if the Denver Nuggets decide they are going to trade him. (Currently, the Knicks can only offer a first round pick in 2014, because Houston owns their 2012 pick, and NBA rules prohibit teams from going consecutive years without a first-round pick). Knicks president Donnie Walsh tried over the summer to acquire Rudy Fernandez from Portland for Wilson Chandler, but the Blazers said they would prefer to do a three-team deal that would net them a 2011 draft pick that figured to end up in the teens in next June's draft. (Portland had several teams offering exactly that caliber of pick back on draft night last June, but they did not pull the trigger -- a move the Blazers are no doubt regretting even more after Fernandez gave a one-man clinic earlier this week on how to obliterate one's own trade value in less than 7 minutes.) So the Knicks had been shopping Chandler around, but there were apparently no takers nine days ago when Walsh, in discussing the need to have future first-round draft picks to facilitate any trades, said: "I need to go out and see if I can get one, and I don’t know how to do that yet.” (Walsh reportedly turned down a three-way trade over the summer that would have sent Anthony Randolph to Indiana, the Pacers' No. 1 pick to Portland and Fernandez to New York). But my source says Walsh has now found another doable deal that would net him a No. 1, though the source would not disclose whether Chandler would be the piece the Knicks would give up (a package of Toney Douglas and Bill Walker, for instance, might be more enticing to some teams). And then there's the side question of whether New York could outbid New Jersey, which has already shown a willingness to move Derrick Favors, their own No. 1 pick in 2011 and a Golden State No. 1 pick (which becomes unprotected in 2012) as part of a trade package for Anthony. In any case, the trade talk surrounding Anthony is currently dormant. But don't be surprised if it picks up later this month -- especially if Anthony sticks to his guns and makes it clear to the Nuggets that he has no plans to play for them after this season, and they risk losing him for nothing if they fail to trade him. (It is notable that Anthony would not even allow coach George Karl to make a recruiting pitch when the two met yesterday in Denver.)
Well its not a done thing yet but a spurs beat writer is now reporting that there hasn't been any talks but I'm more confident he's wrong but a reporter from new york is saying that it could happen but its up too the spurs to makle the trade or not
