The Knicks have improved their offer to Denver for Carmelo Anthony.

New York is now putting Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, Eddy Curry and a first round pick to Denver for Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups and salary cap filler.

at this point id give up Gallo and Will and do the felton/chauncey swap to get melo if the othe roption was him to NJ which apparently melo will do if the knicks dont make an offer. In all honesty we have a good chance of losing Will this summer cause hes a RFA and will probably earn big $ this summer which we wont want to give up cause of 2012. And i love Gallo but even his ceiling isnt as high as what Melo already is, you gotta give Denver back something. Keeping Fields is key for me cause imo hes the perfect 2 guard for Melo since he doesnt need the ball and does the little husstle plays while Melo will do the scoring. And i love Felton but Chauncey is a decent PG still, would be nice to provide some playoff expeience, and he will still play at a good NBA's starter level for the 2 years before we can sign a top of the line PG in 2012 top create our own big 3 which getting Melo would allow us to do.

i say pull the trigger. Melo going anywhere else besides NY right now would be a travesty. NJ would just be devastating for us when they are about to move into our city, cant have it. At the same time, us getting Melo already with Amare and than a PG in 2012 especially right in time for the Nets move would be a joke. There would literally be 0 Nets fans in their own home of Brooklyn. Within 5 years they would have to move to Seattle or some #!+*

... and this is coming from a knick fan who said trade everyone not named amare for melo... i like the deal thats proposed and hope it goes down but im still torn who to give up from 2/3 gallo or fields
 
IF that trade goes down its in essence Gallo for Melo...feltons short term. just like billups will now be, Chandler was gone after this year.....Curry self explanatory......deal is fine in my book

I think D'Antoni said he is almost there. But I've also read that the Knicks might buy him out.

right now. And ya'll talking about defense? Really? Gallo is clearly the best piece in our offer thats why Denver wants him. And as much as i hate felton, i'd put money into it that Billups will piss you guys even more. dudes days are over and he is a chuck now.

I'm just saying that i'm mad Denver didnt take Fields instead of Gallo. Now we have only 2 players on the entire team that can create their own shot and get to the free throw line. Smfh.

I guess my plans of getting a Gallo authentic are over

F what you heard. I'd gladly trade Gallo if it means getting Melo.

My only problem is if Harrington comes back to the Knicks and if we let go of Wilson
 
who cares about wilson hes inconsistent and hes a free agent in the summer anyway and the knicks will not sign him just like dlee last year
 
I actually don't mind choosing between Gallo or Fields..Gallo is likely the better player with more upside..but you already know Mike would be playing him and Melo at the 3/4 with Amare at center. Neither Gallo or Melo are capable of playing the 2, at all IMO.

At least if we keep Fields and this goes down..he almost HAS to play Fields/Melo/Amare 2-4 most of the time.

I honestly think they should hold onto him.....he'd definitely fill a role on this team if healthy. He can score and is a willing defender, we should probably give him a chance once he heals.

As for the trade, I wouldn't mind Gallo going at all....I rather keep Wil, but we have to fulfill our end of the bargain.

And we can't have a selective memory about Gallo...as if this dude wasn't showing up every other game....he just started playing hard a few weeks ago. Let's not act like those trade rumors weren't scaring him earlier in the season. We can't sit here and get on Wil about inconsistency when Gallo was experiencing the same thing
 
we should have just offered douglas and fields intsead of gallo. there are a handful of good PGs available for cheap
 
everyone hating on gallo all of a sudden

... i like gallo and got nothing bad to say about him but if i had to get the deal done to get melo of course gallo gots to go... hope this happens this weekend

I dont think Gallo's upside is as good as advertised. If it comes down to it, I'd keep Fields. His bball IQ is very good and he's averaging 10 and 7 in his rookie year at the most athletic position in the NBA. You can't teach what he offers to the Knicks. Gallo is talented, but i feel like he's definitely the teachers pet. Wilson is a more aggressive and consistent scorer....he may have hit his ceiling a bit being injured but you keep Wilson he can play the 2-4.

And we can't have a selective memory about Gallo...as if this dude wasn't showing up every other game....he just started playing hard a few weeks ago


Thank you.

melo better win a championship here. that's all i'm gonna say. i'm gonna reserve my rant until i see a final offer. but as of now, i'm extremely mad at this greedy moron

and when deron and howard are making less than 7 million bucks less than him, i'm going to be mad

and when we can't trade for CP because we used all our assets on getting this prick a new house in venice, i'm going to be furious

and when isiah takes credit for pushing dolan into the deal and donnie quits, i won't buy a ticket unless we are in the finals


!!+* you melo. !!+* you and CAA. !!+* you for being a wimp. !!+* you for using leverage on the knicks, instead of denver.
