Forget any trade for Paul - Knicks don't have the pieces. We have to wait until the off-season.

Starting in August, Will The Thrill has been doing just that -- thrilling millions of fans in China. In his debut for the Zhejiang Guangsha basketball club, former Knick Wilson Chandler scored 43 points and grabbed 22 rebounds in a 118-115 double-overtime win over Tianjin Ronggan.
Wilson Chandler will return from China in February and this says he'll consider going back to Denver, but New York would be an option.
I'd take him in a heartbeat. Underrated guy who can play the 2-3-4, provide some defense and plenty of offensive pop.

I really like Chandler...and he's tearing it up in China (avg like 43 a game lol)...
he'd be a good fit for the knicks.Originally posted by Nick MangoldWes Welker is a great player. He's really taken advantage of watching film. If we don't keep a Spy on him, he could really open the Gate.Comment

Would love chandler back, we could play him at the 2 when Melo and Amar'e are on the court, the 3 when only Amar'e is on the court, and possibly play him at the 4 when Melo and Fields are in.
Still need a center. Dalembert would be nice to have. Exactly what we could use. At this point, I much rather fill out of lineup and bench then get paul. Melo and Amar'e are enough.Comment

Ian O'Connor earlier in the week making the case that no matter how much Paul wants to come to NY, they can't make it happen (not enough assets, not enough money), so they should focus on Howard by putting Amare or Melo in play.

Getting interesting now.
Knicks are in on Tyson Chandler and could ultimately get rid of Billups & Tauriaf to make room (sign the center to a 4-year deal with $14 mil per).
UPDATE -- Billups is pissed about this going down. He's likely getting amnestied. Chandler is close to a 4-year, $58 million deal with the Knicks.
If Baron Davis gets cut via amnesty, the Knick will be interested in bringing him on board, too.
