I actually forgot about T-Mac.. They ssaid he was playing in Milan... Wonder how he's doing

Collison-Bron-Gallo-Bosh-Okafor

Bench : Douglas-Walker-Chandler-Barron
Possible ?

 

[Master Zik]

Feel bad for T-Mac if he wasn't hampered with injuries he'd be like 75% the player he use to be and the Knicks would be looking to keep him on the team some way.

i think we'd have to give them douglas to make that trade happen because its not like we'll be the only ones inquiring about that package. plus douglas would be cheap for a few years for NO since he's obviously early in his rookie contract which will be appealing for them.

And keep Sergio ?

 

[Spectacular23]

Melo really loves the %%%%



Anthony said he and other top free agents won't be swayed by the Knicks' franchise-record streak of nine straight losing seasons.

"When it comes to people making decisions, I don't really think it's based on what happened in the past," Anthony said. "It's what they have right now, the pieces on the team right now. I like Lee. I love [Danilo] Gallinari. And David is a 20-and-10 guy every game. So they have some pieces there."

all options are open. but he may sign an extension in the next yearwith the nuggets. we could sign bron and lee and sign melo thefollowing year. money wise it can all happen but theres too many otherfactors.






Current asking price for spare 2nd-round pick: $1.5M and up

Rightnow, teams open to the notion of selling their second-round draft picksare asking for a minimum of $1.5 million, a league source told meFriday.

Talk about inflation! Back in 2003, the New Jersey Nets took Kyle Korver at No. 51 in 2003 and sold his rights to Philadelphia for $150,000.

Iwrote more on this subject on the ESPNNewYork Knicks blog, which youcan read by clicking here. (There's even a link to a 15-minute podcastof a studio appearance I did with Bill Daughtry on ESPN 1050 sports radio in New York.)

Second-round picks are especially appealing to the Knicks because they will not impact the team's salary cap space this summer.New York currently has only five players under contract for nextseason, but NBA rules stipulate that a team carry at least 12salary-cap holds at all times.

So if the Knickshave seven players on their roster coming out of the draft (the fivecurrently under contract plus the two second-round picks), they'll alsobe required by the collective bargaining rules to carry five phantomplayers with cap holds of $473,604 -- the minimum salary for the2010-11 season. If they have five extra actual players throughdraft-night purchases, the cap holds stay at the same $473,604 figure.

Hereis a link to the entire NBA draft order. Teams with multiple picks atthe middle-to-bottom of the second round include Minnesota (Nos. 45 and56), Phoenix (46 and 60) and the Lakers (Nos. 43 and 5. Financiallogic would also dictate that the Knicks might have a shot at buyingthe No. 55 pick from the Utah Jazz,who must pay a luxury tax bill of nearly $2 million for the 2009-10season. The Lakers ($21.4 million) and Suns ($5.04 million) also aretax-paying teams and also probably wouldn't mind dipping into JimDolan's deep pockets to help pay their bills.

I would trade Will for Collison just due to the fact that we have Gallo already, and are looking at other swingmen in FA, and we have no point guard. But IMO if we trade Will he will be Trevor Ariza x2... dude is seriously skilled and still very young, he can really flourish on the right team, heck he already has been here, out in NO playing #2 to Chris Paul, who knows what hed be capable of? %%+! homie turned David West into an all-star and IMO Will's potential trumps anything that David West can do, because of his great athletisism especially for his size AND the fact that hes been hitting from mid range with ease and can also stroke it from downtown if you give him space. At 23, there arent alot of guys out there like Chandler. So if we trade him we better get some value in return. I always loved DCol since he was a freshman at UCLA, i actually have his UCLA jersey and i always thought he was bound to be a star in the NBA and that really didnt change even when he fell off a bit later in his college career. He played great this past season when he got minutes and i think as a permanent starter here in Mike's system along with a better supporting cast around him, he could kinda be like a Rondo for us. I mean they are both freakishly athletic, and i love how he actually plays defense. I think it would be a great move for us to get DCol here considering all the PGs we have passed up on. I would really encourage Donnie to really make moves towards that. I mean he has to be seriously special for NO to even consider/ention the thought of trading their superstar/franchise player/city savior.

at Rafer Alston... ok buddy

I know Danilo Gallinari. He is a big talent and can be soon an All-Star

"When it comes to people making decisions, I don't really think it'sbased on what happened in the past," Anthony said. "It's what they haveright now, the pieces on the team right now. I like Lee. I love[Danilo] Gallinari. And David is a 20-and-10 guy every game. So theyhave some pieces there."
myyy man Melo

 

[duba169]

so the media won't even mention gallanari's name.... and the rare times when they do, they say he's a scrub. meanwhile the following players have praised him

Dirk
Melo (more than once)
lebron
tmac

it's really funny. you also never hear that dantoni was the assistant coach on the olympic team with all the stars. trying to downplay us hard. thankfully it doesn't mean anything to players

I don't want to bust your bubble, but NO isn't going to trade away a young point guard in Collison when CP3 is in the last year of his contract. They'd be stupid to trade away Collison before signing Paul to an extension.

all that is so true. I mean if this year was 2 years ago and D'Antoni was on the market he would be mentioned far more than any of these coaches nowadays. I mean hes had tons of success and has never been fired before like Avery Johnson has. I mean if Avery was here all along instead of D'Antoni it would probably hurt us more, and if went with signing Thibideau, %@# has he done more than D'Antoni? You wouldnt hear !!@% about Thibideau if he was here the past 2 years, yet if it was D'Antoni rumored to coach the Bulls it would be played in the media as the biggest factor besides Chris Bosh to where Lebron goes considering he is the only member of the Team USA Coaching staff not already under contract by another NBA Team (Nate McMillan) or coaching an NCAA team (Mike Kreshevski, Jim Boheim).

and yeah i bet you Gallo would get spoken about more if he was on Chicago or some !!@% as well, same with Chandler. No homer but i cant possoibly see what makes Hinrich or Deng bigger assets to team than Gallo OR Chandler considering that both Danilo and Will or younger, much cheaper, and imo more skilled in areas where they have far higher ceilings. I dont think Deng or Hinrich have close to all-star potential whatsoever. However we always hear their names mentioned by the media, and it flys under the radar when you hear dudes like TMac or Melo saying that Gallo has serious all-star potential and is a problem. Id take Gallo (especially) or Will in a heartbeat over any of Chicago's swingmen. And i would also take David Lee in a heart beat over Joakim Noah. I think thats why a guy like Melo felt the need to speak out. David Lee is already a legit all-star and he only gets better. I think the only reason Noah is better in anyway is because he can play center and hes a bigger name from college/better defener, but i know Lee will work on his D and if we resign him the move back to PF will help in that area as well. The only clear cut area Chicago beats us in is Derrick Rose. But if we can somehow make a move towards a Collison and sign a Bosh who is a better fit with Lebron than anyone else in the NBA imo, theres no way Chicago has the better oppurtunity to win like media is trying so hard to make it be. And like i said Thibideau? Who the %*@# gives a !!@%. I am sure that Bron has more connections with D'Antoni than a lifelong assistant like Thibedau. I think hes a good coach, but D'Antoni has Olympic connects and not to mention that Bron has been playing in that slow paced half court set that Thibideau runs and he hasnt had success, and not only would the change of pace to D'Antoni's offense be nice for him, but he would KILL it as well given his strengths in that area.

 

[duba169]

i think there are very few ways that lebron can be considered in the conversation as the best of all time

if he wins 4 in NYC and averages a triple double for 3 years of career (MVP's and all that too) i think he puts himself in the conversation forever. dantoni can certainly help with the triple double part. The championship part who knows
