Trade Rumors Circulate Around Knicks

Despite their win against the Pistons last night, the Knicks are still off to a disappointing start and trade rumors are circling around the team because of it. Let's review some of the rumors:

Amar'e Stoudemire (and maybe Tyson Chandler) to Magic for Dwight Howard

If the Magic would take an overpaid Tyson Chandler with Amar'e, I would go for this trade. But the cons are that D12 could still opt out of his contract after the season ends and the team chemistry would have to be reset again.

Amar'e Stoudemire to Nets for Deron Williams

It could work, but the team would have to rework their team chemistry again and the Nets might try to play hard-to-get. It also puts Baron Davis in a difficult spot and pretty much kills the option of Steve Nash coming to New York.

Amar'e Stoudemire to 76ers for Andre Iguodala

If the Sixers would offer Jrue Holiday with Andre Igoudala, then I would make this trade in a second. If that trade happened, the team would become younger and better. Melo and Amar'e obviously are not playing well together and adding Jrue and Iggy would make the Knicks a better team.

Steve Nash to the Knicks

There has been some talk of the Knicks trading for Nash, but most rumors have him signing with the Knicks when the season ends. If Nash still has enough gas in the tank for next season, it could be a really good move for the Knicks. He has a history with Amar'e and D'Antoni and could still give Melo enough touches.

Kenyon Martin or J.R. Smith to the Knicks

Most of the talk has been about K-Mart, but Smith has been putting up some monster numbers in China. Either one would help the team.

Rafer Alston to the Knicks

Hear me out. Skip 2 My Lou is trying to make a comeback, he's from NYC, and the Knicks need a good point guard. It's an idea.

To sum it up, I think a trade could help the Knicks if we can get a younger and better player in exchange for Amar'e and/or a team to take on Tyson's huge contract.

Have any thoughts on the recent trade rumors revolved around the Knicks? Should Amar'e be traded? Do we have a chance at D12? Leave a comment below and tell me what you think.
