Knicks Rumors: Kenyon Martin and Wilson Chandler Best Options to Improve Bench Basketball, Kenyon Martin, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Free Agency 2011, NBA Rumors, New York Knicks, Opinion, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
The New York Knicks must improve their bench to make a deep run in the NBA playoffs this season, and former Denver Nuggets forwards Kenyon Martin and Wilson Chandler are the best options out there to address that weakness.According to the New York Post, Knicks superstar forward Carmelo Anthony wants Martin to join him in the Big Apple.According to the source, Anthony wants Martin in New York, though he is not permitted to sign a contract until March, when his Chinese team is through with the playoffs. The rugged forward was bought out earlier this week and ...

New York Knicks: Consistency Will Be Key to Successful Season for Landry Fields Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, Landry Fields, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion, Preview/Prediction, US Cities, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
Last season, Landry Fields took the NBA by storm with a rookie campaign that no one could have ever predicted. Fields transformed from the prospect that barely any top analyst had ever heard of, into the starting 2-guard for a playoff team in one of the NBA’s biggest markets. That transformation happened quickly as Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni had enough faith in the second round draft choice to name him the opening night shooting guard and never looked back, inserting Fields in the starting five 81 out of 82 games last season. For most NBA players entering their second season, ...

NBA Free Agent Rumors: Players New York Knicks Should Sign Aaron Gray, James Jones, Kurt Thomas, NBA, NBA Free Agency 2011, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, T.J. Ford, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
The players and owners have reached a tentative deal to end the NBA lockout. Let that sink in.Now that the lockout is nearly over, the insanity is about to begin. December 9th is the date that we should circle on our calendars, as that is when free-agency will begin.Like the rest of the league, the New York Knicks are going to look to retain key players and make necessary upgrades in order to compete at a high level.There are an array of athletes who can help the Knicks continue to grow, but the team is restricted in the moves that ...

Chris Paul to New York Knicks: Are Amar’e and Melo Better off with Old Faces? Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Danilo Gallinari, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
Chris Paul gave an infamous wedding toast last summer, which even amidst the current lockout, the New York Knicks and their fans just cannot shake off. Yet as we obsess over his addition, we have to wonder if New York is better off exploring a road or two they have already been down before instead.If Paul lands with the Knicks, his ability to direct the offense is believed to propel New York to instant championship contention. He is elusive, has great ball handling skills and is a stud on both ends of the floor. More importantly though, he seems to be ...

NBA Free Agency 2011: How Chris Paul May Keep Wilson Chandler from NY Knicks Chris Paul, NBA, NBA Free Agency 2011, New York Knicks, Opinion, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
Wilson Chandler, formerly of the New York Knicks and now playing for the Denver Nuggets, is a restricted free agent whom New York is interested in bringing back, according to Marc Berman of the NY Post. However, because of Chris Paul, this is much easier said than done.And not just because of cap-managing logistics.We all remember the lopsided—yes, lopsided—trade for Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks sent four rotation players in Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton and Timofey Mozgov to Denver in exchange for Anthony.Chandler was especially tough to lose for New York. He was having a phenomenal season and seemed to be really coming ...

New York Knicks: 5 Things Knicks Fans Should Expect out of the Team Next Season 2011 NBA Draft, Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, Samuel Dalembert, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
After being swept in four games by the Boston Celtics in a series where the Knicks clearly should've won the first two games, the team, coaching staff and front office clearly have some adjustments to make in the offseason if they wish to contend for an NBA championship against the elite teams in the NBA. Watching the series against the Celtics exposed the Knicks primary weaknesses which were and still are coaching, defense, size and effort, which should never be an issue. While the new collective bargaining agreement will likely be structured in a way that has a harder salary cap ...

New York Knicks: Do They Have Any Chance of Bringing Back Gallinari or Chandler? Danilo Gallinari, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
The blockbuster deal that sent Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks a few weeks ago got the city of New York excited about Knicks basketball again. However, things haven't been going so well for the Knicks since the trade. Since bringing Carmelo to the Knicks, the team is 7-10 and 1-6 against teams under .500. They are struggling. However, I think it's pretty understandable. Carmelo and Billups had to make a huge transition to New York and learn Mike D'Antoni's great offense. They're just getting used to it. In my mind, I wouldn't panic. Eventually, I think the chemistry will develop between the new big three, and ...

New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets Getting What They Deserve Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, Danilo Gallinari, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. The trade that finally ostracized Carmelo Anthony from Denver was reciprocal in that regard, both teams shedding what they no longer wanted. To James Dolan, owner of the New York Knicks, there are two types of basketball players: the few he can sell and the multitudes he can’t. Stars and others. In that regard Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Raymond Felton were disposable to Dolan. Trash doesn’t equate to cash. And looking back at the Garden’s incessant “We want ‘Melo! We want ‘Melo!” chants, it’s laughable and downright hysterical that the Knicks have lost three straight ...

New York Knicks: A Carmelo Type Player Away From Greatness Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, Landry Fields, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Pacific, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
The New York Knicks have the pieces in place to be future title contenders. Just one thing is missing, another superstar player, specifically Carmelo Anthony. Trade rumors have, for now at least, quieted down a lot. This doesn’t mean the Knicks won’t be front-runners when Melo is a free agent this coming summer. If Melo does indeed choose to come to the big apple, he could be the star on a title contender. To be a great team, you need a good point guard. With the acquisition of Raymond Felton this past offseason, the Knicks now have that. Felton has quietly ...

If you are like a big chunk of sports fans, you are addicted to all things fantasy, from football to basketball to baseball and everything in between.And, if you have been keeping up with the young NBA season, you know that this season has been slightly crazy to say the least.We came in knowing nothing for sure about the league, except for the fact that the Los Angeles Lakers were going to be a good team, now, as far as player to player, we know even less.Veterans are struggling and it may be time to get rid of a few ...

David Lee, Louis Amundson Return Timelines Uncertain for Warriors David Lee, Louis Amundson, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
by Sam AmickFiled under: Knicks, Warriors, NBA Injuries, NBA RumorsOAKLAND, Calif. -- Lest you couldn't hear their groaning over the sounds of the Joe Lacob and Peter Guber parade in the Bay Area these last few days, not everyone associated with the Golden State Warriors is feeling cheery, even with the recent change in ownership and the team's 7-4 record. It has been a tough week for two of the team's best rebounders. The team announced Monday that forward David Lee had to undergo a second procedure on Sunday night to clean the infected left elbow that has already forced him to ...

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Knicks, NBA Rumors, FanHouse Exclusive, NBA Free AgentsDENVER -- Wilson Chandler is still in a New York state of mind. Despite New York not signing him to a contract extension by the Nov. 1 deadline, the forward said his top priority is to re-sign with the Knicks next summer as a restricted free agent. "I'd love to be here,'' Chandler said before scoring 23 points Tuesday at Denver. "Just the city and just being close to the people in the organization. I just love being here. ... I think the future looks great (for the Knicks).'' The Knicks will ...

David Lee Knocks Out Wilson Chandler’s Tooth, Sidelined With Infected Elbow David Lee, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Knicks, Warriors, NBA Injuries David Lee will miss the next two weeks for the Golden State Warriors due to a nasty infection in his left elbow, reports Jeff Goodman of FOXSports.com. Lee was hospitalized Thursday morning after waking up with excruciating pain in the cut area. Marcus Thompson III of the Contra Costa Times reports that Lee will return to the Bay Area to have surgery to clean out the wound. The infection stems from the Warriors' Wednesday game against the Knicks in what was Lee's first return to Madison Square Garden since leaving New York in ...

New York Knicks, Timofey Mozgov: Rik Smits in Training Amare Stoudemire, Anthony Randolph, Basketball, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion, Raymond Felton, US Cities, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
How could you not make a reference to Rik Smits when looking at this kid? 7-feet plus, runs the floor well, soars for rebounds and blocks, and can pop-out confidently to shoot the mid-range jumper. Sure, his skill sets aren't quite there yet, but then again he hasn't really played that many minutes even though he is the starting center. And by the way, now that Rony Turiaf will be out the next few games with a sprained knee, we could really start to see Mozgov come into his own. Ah, "The Dunking Dutchman"...who doesn't remember that 1994-1995 Indiana Pacers team that ...

Knicks’ Wilson Chandler in the Race for NBA Sixth Man, but Can He Bring It Home? Anthony Randolph, Basketball, Josh Smith, Landry Fields, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Toney Douglas, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
Through the first six games of the season, Wilson Chandler has had his ups and downs as the New York Knicks' sixth man. He excelled in the first three games of the season, averaging 21.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.0 blocks, but has since come back down to Earth. In his last four outings, Wilson put up 11.5 points on 40.9 percent shooting, grabbed 4.3 rebounds and recorded 1.4 steals plus blocks. Let's just say he has been part Jekyll, part Hyde in the early going of the NBA season. Even with his recent struggles, Wilson is still averaging career highs ...

New York Knicks: 10 Important Statistics and Trends after 3 Games Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Danilo Gallinari, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, Raymond Felton, Ronny Turiaf, US Cities, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
This season, the Knicks will not win their first NBA title since 1973, when Richard Nixon ruled America and Tony Orlando ruled the airwaves.They will, however, play respectable basketball until at least April, which means that I can write an article about 10 statistics that mark the Knicks season thus far without being smarmy and sarcastic.(What would this article have looked like in a few years ago?)1. Number of Knicks wins: 23.2. Knicks punitive damage payment to Anucha Browne-Sanders in the MSG sexual harassment scandal: $11.6 million3. Madison Square Garden interns and Stephon Marbury had sex in a truck: one.4. ...

Amar’e Stoudemire and Raymond Felton Not In The Zone Amare Stoudemire, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Raymond Felton, Steve Nash, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
When the Knicks signed Raymond Felton to a two-year $15.8 million deal in July, along with Amar'e Stoudemire, they envisioned them to be the faces of the "new" New York Knicks. In the Knicks first three games, Felton and Stoudemire have been out of sync. Felton and Stoudemire both appear uncomfortable, and that's understandable since this is only their third game together. The Portland Trailblazers spoiled the home Knicks debut of Amar'e Stoudemire and Raymond Felton and another stellar game off the bench for Wilson Chandler, as they used a 17-3 run to come from nine points down and win 100-95. The Trailblazers ...

New York Knicks: 3 Reasons Wilson Chandler Was Not Given an Extension NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
New York Knicks forward Wilson Chandler has been playing like a man possessed thus far in 2010-11.Following his move to the sixth-man role, he has responded by putting up averages of 21 points, 10 rebounds, 1.3 steals, three blocks and less than one turnover per game—arguably better numbers than those of New York's five-time All-Star acquisition, Amar'e Stoudemire. However, Chandler and the Knicks still did not manage to work out an extension to his contract by the NBA's deadline for 2007 first-round draft picks, November 1.Therefore, he is set to become a restricted free agent following the season—meaning that New York ...

New York Knicks: Amar’e Stoudemire Needs More Help Amare Stoudemire, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
The minute Amar'e Stoudemire signed his big contract to play in New York, we knew the Knicks would go as far as Stoudemire could take them. That won’t be very far, however, if some other players do not step up their games. Stoudemire has delivered as advertised. He is a big-time scorer and dangerous with the ball in his hands, averaging 21.3 points through the first three games. New York knew Stoudemire would need a couple pieces to help solve this puzzle. The Knicks brought in point guard Raymond Felton, but he and Stoudemire do not seem to be in sync just ...

New York Knicks Win Season Opener (Believe It or Not) Amare Stoudemire, Danilo Gallinari, Eddy Curry, Game Recap, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
By Cooper L. Train One win at the start of an 82-game schedule. Just one win, over a lottery-bound team. But anyone who has followed the Knicks even a little bit the past decade can understand our excitement. For the first time since Nov. 22, 2008, your New York Knicks are over .500. And when the tale of the 2010-2011 NBA season comes to a close, the record will forever show that Amar’e Stoudemire‘s NEW New York Knicks started off better than LeBron James’ Heat. Technically. If you happened to miss this one (apparently there was a baseball game on) and just looked at ...
