Absolutely terrible for the Knicks. Kanter is better than Chandler, and giving up Hardaway and a bunch of picks just to move Noah, while taking back garbage is a joke.

@Triangle O they get the second overall pick buddy.

Trading Noah's deal is unlikely. I like some of the moves to gain cap. Chandler for Kanter would be a victory, but PHX is smarter than that probably in a straight up move. Some good pieces in these deals.

Not only do the Knicks trade their pick (currently sitting at 9 with little chance of moving down more than a spot or 2) for what looks to be a pick that will be 4 to 8 spots higher, but they also get out of 3 bad contracts and end up with what looks like a ton of cap room this year and even more next year. This trade is awful for everyone but the Knicks. The Suns basically take on 50 million in multi year bad contracts for 1 pick, the Piston's trade two useful players for 1 and one of the worst contracts in the league, and the Magic trade a top 5 pick in the draft for no reason at all.

@Jorgawood Kanter is so much better than chandler. He is better than Kanter in all aspects of basketball except for defense.

Tostito, Chandler is an expiring contract, he makes significantly less, he's probably still a better athlete than Kanter who is a statue, he's light years better on defense, he might be a better rebounder and if not they're about equal, and Chandler's offense fits better with what most offenses are currently trying to do. Kanter is a slow, offensive post player that is a bad defender inside and one of the worst defenders in the league on the perimeter. The majority of the league wants to run, finish at the rim, and shoot threes on offense and on defense they want bigs that aren't going to be liabilities if having to guard in space. He just doesn't fit well in today's league.

Nice call rkenne. Pretty much what I think. Salary savings, defensive presence, same expiration. It's why PHX probably wouldn't do it. Noah and a buy-out are likely. Cash savings can be a real help. Better compliment next to Zinger. Their defense would have some teeth. Chandler can still dunk. All he needs to do offensively.

If Kanter is as inanimate as a statue, wouldn't that make him a DeKanter?

Tostitochip, way to fire back at everyone who doesn't like your deal.

As for your original comment back, I thought you were suggesting a second round pick, not 2nd overall.

So the Sun's give up their 1st did I get that right? If so I can tell you the Sun's are committed to their rebuild and will not trade that pick it could very well be the 1st pick and they want their own team through the draft I can see them packing a Chris's plus Miami's pick to also move up.
