Tyson Chandler is a Knick

by knicksdefense on December 10, 2011

The Knicks have a new starting center:  defensively talented Tyson Chandler.

Chandler isn’t much of a scorer but with Melo and STAT that may be a good thing.  One basketball may not be enough for those two considering their talent for scoring.

This is good news for Amar’e's back issues too, no more will Stoudemire play center, hopefully.

Gone are Turiaf, Billups and Rautins, all casualties of this acquisition.  Gone also is close to $60 million in cap space, maybe the Knicks should try to get Nash for cheap next season.

Just bloggin’

The depth chart now finds its weakest link at point guard, where Shumpert and Toney Douglas are still waiting to prove their relative worth.

Can Toney Douglas play a full season without injuries so he can prove his abilities at the NBA level?  How good is Shumpert?  Is he a real point guard or merely another OJ Mayo type of NBA player?
