Bobcats and Knicks trade rumor ( VERY INTERESTING)

[BOBCATS_BALL!]

Jimmer Fredette and how he fits in the NBA divides scouts and fans, but there is one thing almost all agree on — he’s a better fit in a wide-open offensive system where he would have more of a green light.

For example, Mike D’Antoni’s system with the New York Knicks.

Which explains why ESPN’s Chad Ford is reporting (behind ESPN’s pay wall) the Knicks are trying to move up in the draft to see if they can get Jimmer.

Sources say that the Charlotte Bobcats (9), Milwaukee Bucks (10) and Golden State Warriors (11) are also open to moving their picks. In this case the interest is all pretty specific. The Knicks, and a handful of other teams, are trying to get ahead of the Jazz. The target? BYU’s Jimmer Fredette.

Interesting, but the Knicks are not exactly loaded with trade assets (those all went to Denver to get Carmelo Anthony, thank you very much James Dolan). Can Landry Fields and the No.17 pick move you up seven spots or so?

Is that worth it to get Jimmer? There is no way Jimmer falls to 17. There are a lot of teams willing to move picks in this draft but not a lot of teams willing to give up quality assets to move up. At least not yet.

Now I know this is just a rumor and unlikey to happen but if we could do a trade like that for the 9th, I would be so happy. Look at what this draft could become with a trade like that.

9. Landry Fields

17. Marshon Brooks

19. Jordan Hamilton

39. Keith Benson

I honestly cant imagine a better scenario but I realize this probably has little chance of happening.

I might even do 9 and 19 for Fields and 17 ( Knicks might have to throw something else in too).

I'd love Landry on our team

[davos]

Fields can become a 17-20 ppg player with the right squad around him imo

I think it's more likely to happen then one would initially think. Silas and the Cats like this drafts depth rather then individual talents.... (reason why they turned down the move up 2 - 1 swap, but reverse that and give the bobcats a player and let them keep 2 first round picks.... I don't think they turn that down.

NY would do it because he doesn't really fit the team at this point and it would allow them to get a player that should fit into NY's system perfectly.

Wait, the Knicks give up Landry Fields and their first for the ninth pick? Hell yes we do it, but I find it hard to believe that they would do that for a risky draft pick.

I know, think about how much more talented this team will be if we have Fields at SF and then add two more first round talents. And in this draft the guy you get at 9 and the guy you get at 17 arent too different.

I honestly dont think you cant get a guy as good as Fields at 9 plus we get a first rounder.

I would go wild if this did happen.

[CarolinaNut]

yea, that would be an awesome trade but i highly doubt that's gonna happen

[GotSwag?]

So we could potentially add Landry Fields, Jordan Hamilton, Jajuan Johnson and another big out of this draft?

Yeah sign me up

[Its The Milk]

That would indeed be winning in my book.

[koolkatluke]

I might be the only one here who doesn't like Landry. He got lost in the playoffs and was pretty much missing the last part of the season.

[PanthersGuy28]

That would be nasty.

[SOJA]

would be very happy but I highly doubt the Knicks would risk that, they don't really need Fredette and Fields spot up shooting helps out a lot on their squad. They would much rather get a distributing pg who can get the ball to Amare and Melo, as well as run in D'Antoni's offense much like Nash did

In my opinion the Knicks need to get rid of D'Antoni and pull out all stops for Chris Paul. Trading away a piece like Landry Fields for a huge risk like Fredette just doesn't make much sense to me
