I agree with this to an extent, but do you honestly think a lineup Gallo+Mozgod will take away from Knicks' fans that can be rooting for Amar'e+Carmelo?

These are the same two guys that Knicks fans are begging the Knicks to get rid of if it means getting Carmelo

It breaks that first wall, which is the hardest and which I think I'm not the only one who has: eughk...the Nets. The name, the face, the identity, all of it. You can scrub, febreze it and move it around, but it's still the same s----y furniture. Putting Gallo and Moz on that team is that reupholstering. Enough to make people remember that YES is more than baseball.
To me, I don't really consider the Nets an NBA team. Even when they were nice for a minute, I dropped into that Kubler-Ross denial hard until I willed them to blow their team up and then I willed Brook Lopez into getting worse. They're an NBA team when they get Moz and Gallo. And all they had to lose was 2 players they don't even have yet?

I just feel sorry for Felton. He definitely is getting the short end of the stick. Same with Donnie. Chandler knew his time was up when he didnt get that contract extension.

 

[petermans]

In the midst of this Rautins is telling himself "Yes, I will finally get some tick"

 

[upptempo8387]

I still don't understand how people believe the Knicks can afford D-Will/Dwight/Amar'e/Melo...Any GM that can make that work out in terms of cash should be automatic Exec of the Year for the next 20 years, even if he's no longer working in the league

 

[quincy powell]

SMH @ the Nuggets raping us....NO LUBE.

 

[lightskinflyboy 718]

Why would the knicks trade all those players?? smh melo my favorite player but is it worth it?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Donnie better pull Gallo back now that we know he's gonna go to Jersey...no way we let that commie bastard win.

i could never see us losing with that team... Dwight and Dwill would have to take a nice paycut, but with the money after a few championships they would be fine...

 

[throwback1718]

Definitely not 4 players of that caliber, but Deron would be a friggin pipe dream.

The only thing about the new CBA is that his extension wont be as costly, BUT then again the salary cap would be less...
Everyone is talking about walsh being undermined by dolan, but what about Billy King having the reigns taken out of his hands by Prokorov if that's how its spelt.

I don't think a lot of ppl think of that when they think of NY having a Big 3 or 4. I was just figuring after Melo that's when we'd get rid of the rest of the squad and try and have enough cap space to sign a 3rd max.

But maybe ppl think the new CBA will help. Extend the limit? No cap at all?

Yes
Gallo is overrated and has one or two good quarters a game. His defense is so bad that it gets in the way of our own players out there, getting spun around and tripping up 

Felton is TRASH, son needs to go asap before people realize he's a gump

Chandler is up at the end of the year and there's WAY better players to chase than him

Moz....who cares

Curry...we should have gave him to NJ for free

Unlike Dolan, the Russian knows what he's doing.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

They saying the players we send to Denver could actually end up with the Nets.

This is crazy.

yea u don have a point out that list rest can go but i still would keep chandler but that's just me i guess

 

[everysingletime]

you guys so thirsty to stack superstars.  why don't you guys realize that you guys actually have a solid core and should just be patient in building your team. 

I actually think the best move you guys will ever make is sacking D'antoni, sooner or later you'll realize that such an offensive minded coach is not good for playoffs success. 

I actually see defensive potential in your squad, if you get a coach that can tap it you guys can be dangerous.  you can actually maintain that frenetic pace of yours with excellent defense by getting on the break from stoppages, so with a defensive minded coach you won't necessarily be sacrificing high scoring output. 

the problem is your defensive effort is inconsistent, and I think that's on the coach. 

but your organization stays putting their faith on D'antoni and Isiah Thomas, who should be busy coaching his own damn squad instead of worrying about the knicks; it's pretty sad.

It can be done under walsh

 

[upptempo8387]

If the Knicks weren't able to get Carmelo by the deadline and the Knicks play like crap the rest of the season, particularly Chandler/Felton/Gallo, everyone that is preaching for us to keep them and hope we get Carmelo in the offseason will be going crazy about how bad those players suck and that we shouldn't have hesitated to trade them for Carmelo...Knicks fans are notorious for having drastic opinion changes once the team begins to falter

[h3]Karl Prefers New York Offer, Front Office Likes Nets' Deal[/h3]
Feb 21, 2011 15:50 PM EST

The Nuggets have an internal disagreement over which trade proposal for Carmelo Anthony to accept.

George Karl prefers the offer from the Knicks, while the front office is inclined to accept the offer from New Jersey.

Karl would like to accept New York's offer because the team would have a greater opportunity to remain competitive.

Karl still hasn't signed a two-year extension to remain as head coach of the Nuggets.

Yeah, cause he should have just said from the jump. "I won't play in Denver or NJ, I want to be a Knick." Since he wants to be Mr. Nice and remain quiet, we have to go through mad BS and trade mad players. I've been a Melo fan since Syracuse and was born a Knicks fan but all this mess should have been avoided. I will boo him but after a game or two, son will be forgiven and his jerseys will be copped 

 

[nyczill3st]

so i still haven't got assured that Billups would be willing to play for us? does he still want to be bought out if he gets traded? if so Douglas cannot be our starting pg...
