True.. I'd rather have Chandler at that price tag, but this was a way to ensure NY stays away from Nash. So in that regards it was a no brainer for BC. But I think a $6.7M contract would be easy to move in this league. Heck if Joe Johnson, Luke Walton, or Gilbert Arenas can be traded, anyone can.
I love the manoeuvring/c0ck blocking. Landry can do a little bit of everything except hustle. He does lots and lots of that. NYK sorely misused Fields since Melo came aboard and I'd love to have him. He's like JJ only, ya know, a real basketball player.
very shrewd move.. i like it.. fills our need for a good young SF & helps us seal the deal with Nash hopfully..
Landry can play SF, Derozan is safe
Nash, Bayless
Derozan, Ross
Fields, Johnson
Bargs, Ed
Val, Amir
Im a big fan of starting next year with this roster.
Look, it's win-win. It knocks the knicks out of the Nash chase completely even if they do match. If he comes here, great. He's a solid 2 way player that fits casey's system perfectly and lord knows Nash will be good for him.
@jerboat
For those of you who were curious about him being too short to be a small forward... he's 6'6.5 barefoot so he is most likely at the very least 6'7.5 in shoes and i think that 6'7.5 is plenty height for small forward does anybody know if he is an above average ball handler?
Whoever told you skies the limit is looking dumb because I'm 22 and i'm moonwalking on the sun.

RT @chadfordinsider: Knicks could offer Shumpert, Douglas, Gadzuric, Harrellson & Jordan to Suns to get Nash four years, $42M. Trumps Raps?

Two glimmers of hope Knicks fans: 1. All verbal agreements aren't binding until 7/11. Fields could back out & agree to s&t with Knicks-Suns
Assuming we obtain Fields, we would have a wing rotation which would look like this:
DeRozan, Ross, Fields, *Kleiza, *Johnson
Not bad. A bunch of guys that all have different skill sets creating very rounded wing depth and skill.
http://hoopshype.com/players/landry_fields.htmExcellent rebounder for his size... High basketball IQ... Makes the most of what he has... Fine shooter... Has developed an effective three-point shot... Strong, but not very athletic.

They really think everything that Dolan sh!ts out is gold?
All those players are scrubs - including Shupert because he blew out his ACL and is a big unknown.
I feel confident that the Suns would rather Calderon or Bayless than that mish-mash of garbage - just my opinion.
Wait how does New York offer four years 42M?
20 mil for Landry Fields. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Are we taking bets for when the next lockout will be?
nice move BC!
