**Official '11 NYK LOCKOUT thread*** lockout over

[crumbs]

Happy it's done sad to see those guys go though.

 

[|A-Man|]

Hope we sign Barron quickly after. Hope he doesn't turn out worse than Mozgod.

As for this Melo deal, happy to have him. Hope Billups smartens up. Sad to see us give up Gall and Mozgod. Yeah Melo > Gallo but Melo w/ Gallo > Melo w/o Gallo on this Knicks team. To my Kicks fans, Felton was always a rental and Chandler was not going to be a Knick next season in any scenario.

Just hope amateur hr is up and I don't hear anymore bs additional players from our team or sh!tty Denver players with horrible contracts coming to our team.

For those talking about the bench getting weaker cuz of Chandler and Gallo being traded......you do realize that Melo will be playing 40 minutes every game leaving barely any time for a reserve to come in anyway, right? Shawne Williams and Corey Brewer (if he's still being included) will do fine in those limited minutes.

Billups/Douglas
Fields/Walker/Rautins
Melo/Brewer
Amare/Williams
Turiaf/Shelden Williams/Barron

I think trading Mozgov and not getting Birdman or somebody back in return is a mistake though. Turiaf, Shelden Williams and Earl Barron getting heavy minutes at the 5 for a title contender isn't really a good look. I could see them putting out a starting lineup of Billups/Douglas/Fields/Melo/Amare though.

this doesn't feel right without gr8

i need 2 see an essay when this is finished

 

[you go boy]

its the same deal proposed as before except we adding mosgov... and the fillers are sheldon and carter no balkman... it would be cool to get brewer but hes going to the nuggs

 

[d5]

MEELLLLOOOOOO

Future looks bright...believe me

 

[vc3fan]

Congrats knicks fans.



Thank god this is over.

 

[Mister Meaner]

I doubt it's done. This seems so anticlimactic. No tweets & retweets about things heating up? No absurdly rushed articles detailing every step of the saga so far?

 

[websternguyen]

melo to NYK plz

 

[|A-Man|]

Oh yeah. This trade makes it virtually impossible for us to make any other trades before the deadline. Unless somebody wants the bums we have and maybe Turiaf which I don't see us trading cuz we lack even more height.

 

[youngin33]

Our bench almost doesn't matter because D'Antoni barely knows he has a bench to utilize. 

 

[blackmagnus514]

About time this is over.

I hope we get Earl Barron. He's solid enough at the 5.

What's the final deets?

 

[duba169]

it happened

we got melo

gave up alot though. the warriors picks too

 

[Hahahaha]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

 

[ray mulla]

finallyyyyyyy

 

[king x riece]

Moz is gone

 

[sirius lee handsome]

still waiting on the details to find out who got shipped out, but hey at least this is finally over

let's go team knicks!

 

[big j 33]

If this is true I'll miss you Gallinari.

Felton was cool, but it's hard to get attached to someone after half a season. Gallo I really wanted to succeed here and he seemed to love the big stage of MSG. He'll be missed. It's a business though, this was the right business move and with Melo he wouldn't have a role unless it was off the bench and out of position. I want him to succeed, too bad it won't be here.

 

[vezon]

Fields bad man.

Sirius turn on ESPN

 

[stylishstef89]

My favorite player on my favorite team....

I'll miss Wil, Felton and Gallo (even though I gave Gallo a hard time, he loved being apart of this squad and I can appreciate that).

We'll still be solid....Walker has shown us in the past that he can shoot and get to the rim (even though this year he's overweight), Williams will thrive as a shooter with Melo out there.

If Balkman wasn't so lazy and he knew how to shoot, he'd be a great get honestly. We all know Balkman is a good defensive player and rebounder, especially for a 6'8 SF.

Yo AMP, I saw in the thread you made you posted the full version of Cam's Oh What a Night... I didn't know a full version was out, I've been bumping the single verse for awhile now

That's almost better than the Melo news
