Knicks Closing in on Tyson Chandler

Multiple sources, including Alan Hahn and Marc Stein are reporting that the New York Knicks are extremely close to landing free agent center Tyson Chandler. In fact, a short while ago Alan Hahn tweeted, "getting indications that Tyson Chandler to the Knicks is a foregone conclusion."

The KnicksBlog.com is also reporting that the Knicks are likely to be in the mix for point guard Baron Davis, as it looks like Davis will be amnestied by the Clippers. Current point guard Chauncey Billups has been rumored to be on the trading block (in CP3 trade talks) and in all likelihood will not be with the Knicks next season.

I sure hope the Knicks can get this deal done with Tyson Chandler. He's a dominating defensive presence and an absolute beast on the boards. He'll bring a championship demeanor along with a defensive mentality to a Knicks team who's in serious need of both. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed, and I'm sure many Knicks fans will be doing the same.
