The Knicks need a more valuable first round pick than what the Celtics have to offer to get Denver's attention.
At least top 20, preferably top 15 ... and top 10 to put them over the top.
-------------------------------------------------
To get a pick in the top 10 or top 15, the Knicks will need to trade Danilo Gallinari or Anthony Randolph. Not Wilson Chandler.
Chandler can bring them a pick in the low 20s or high teens. Not a pick that may be in the lottery.
The Knicks were linked strongly to the Rockets in previous days in a multi-team trade with the Nuggets where NY would have sent A.Randolph to Houston in exchange for one of their picks (T.McGrady deal) and some other assets to give the Nuggets what they want. Since this deal didn't go through at the time, it's unlikely to be resurrected in this specific form but I think something along those lines (A.Randolph for high draft pick) is the Knicks best chance at getting the valuable draft pick that Denver wants.
