Knicks should do a Sign & Trade with Lin and include Amare in the deal.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
The Knicks have talent, they just dont have a coach...nor do the people running the team view winning championships as the only goal.

Unless they can significantly upgrade Lin, I dont see a reason why not to bring him back. They need a PG.

They have a collection of individual talent that thrive in different systems and not collectively. Amare and Lin go together that's why I would package them. As long as chandler is on the team Amare will always play out of position. Melo has always thrived playing with great guards like ai and billups. Deron Williams fills that void.

I think they can trade amare if they package him with a healthy lin to a team who's fanbase is :flabbynsick:. I know the bobcats could use any star power at this point to keep from getting contracted. Having lin, amare, and davis as the new face of the franchise would def get people in the seats. I dont really know the bobcats roster like that; but i'm sure they got some type of talent; and we could at least get some draft picks.

Bobcats can't match the contracts. Don't forget that part

Of course getting Deron would be an upgrade...just dont see it happening.

Woodson can't be the coach if Melo is going to be here though. But, of course, they both have the same talent agency representing them now.

Melo is basically running the show his way.

Stat and Lin for D12 is the move the knicks most likely explore, I can't wait til the summer to see how things play out, knicks fans need to not worry

Stat Hasnt Had Knee Issues In Years, But He's Had TWO Prolonging Issues With His Back

YET People On Here Still Talk About His Knees, "His Knees!, His Knees!"

Dude Hasnt Had One Issue With His Knees In A Knicks Uniform, Makes Me Wonder If People Are Paying Attention

When His Back Is Good Stat Has Lift, When It's Acting Up Obviously He Has Issues Getting Up, But It's Been His Back Not His Knees

The problem is Lin only has THAT kind of value in a select few cities.

He's not going to drive revenue/excitement on most franchises. Not enough for a team to take on a deal they wouldn't otherwise...

The knicks best bet for a trade right now would amare/lin for like Bargs/Calderon...

And yeah, it's his back that's a concern right now, not his knees.

Plus, they have to SIGN Lin before they could trade him at all.

This thread... :wow:

Amare and Lin for Dwight?

Maybe if Jameer opts out but Magic could get way better offers.

You'd have to throw in Shump and probably a couple 1st rounders and take back Hedo
Yeah this is the deal though with a piece here or there, with Orlando having to hold onto a injured D12 who they know is gonna walk, this is a win win for both teams while keeping Orlando respectable in the weak east

He's injury prone and a bytch.that game 4 performance by amare keeps him in NYC . They just need to get stat more shot attempts and to work out that he plays the 5 some

Stat will always be a weak ass nikka one good game don't make up for him pouting around playing zero d, being virtually a 6 10 sg, he aint getting any younger, they need to exorcise themselves from that demon.

Hey you may have Chandler, but whats the point of paying Amare max money and he aint doing shyt, If they get D12 they get the best Center in the league, you rather hold on to a aging declining cancerous weak minded player

Knicks have a lot of pieces to mix and match, they have some decisions to make
