**Official 2010 NY knicks pre-season thread** 10/6 vs T-wolves (PARIS) 2PM MSG/NBA TV

[everysingletime]

Damn it's looking bad for you guys. 

I'm a bulls fan but I'm pulling hard for you guys.  No team deserves to be done by Lebron the way he did y'all. 

Raymond Felton, Amare Gallo Chandler as your four best players isn't gunna cut it though. 

Maybe you guys should just stop spending on whatever's left of this fa crop and go for trades or wait next summer for Melo.

Why not?

Making it sound as if these dudes can't ball.  Take a look around the league and tell me this squad with Amare isnt better.

Dude is a ringchaser. He said he wants onto LA or Miami and he'll take the min. 

yeah, on twitter he said that the laker nation is "gunning hard" for him...but he hasn't had talks with the front office yet tho. he shouted out the knicks but he's probably going to the lakers.

off topic but i think fisher goes to the heat.

I don't mind Felton for now, but he is obviously not the long term fix for playing point at the Garden.

I agree. Heat need Fisher more than the Lakers do, because Riley's the only one with Finals experience. DWade doesn't count. The 06 Finals were the most boring small, obscure market loaded playoffs last decade. They gave dude Jordan status, because they figured at least a Shaq/Zo team is less boring than the Mavs. For real though, I remember watching Game 5 on Classic last year and it made Spurs Pistons look like Lakers Celtics.

This is probably less about Amare, and more about Gallo and Wilson. I don't understand why people continue to think these two guys are scrubs.

Can't hate on T-Mac...at this stage in his career, he wants to contribute to a championship team. He's no longer the centerpiece and he knows that. Fact is, nobody will care if he rides along for a ring because it won't really "count".

I was never big on Felton even a few years back when there were rumors of a trade...not sure what to think of the signing except that we have a legit PG I guess. We're definitely an improved team but .500 at best.

2010 was the summer of the superstar, but 2011 is going to be the summer of the role-player - which IMO is just as important. If the Knicks want to compete, we need star players and those who offer all-around intangibles...the Kendrick Perkins, Tayshaun Prince, and Shane Battier variety.

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that we couldn't spend all our money this season. Still excited to see Amare in the Knicks uni. This is just the first step to rebuilding and we can't expect to be contenders after barely winning 30 games the season prior.

Cuz no one but Knick fans watch Knick games...

And I would want T-Mac back but its wateva if he wanna chase a ring..

We still got alot of young talent at his position (SG, SF) that can use the mins anyway ( Chandler, Gallo, Walker, Azubuike)


And Walsh set Feltons contract almost perfectly when CP3 is available

I;m not really high on Toney anyways, don't get the hype.

But Felton is wayyy overpaid, we basically outbid ourselves and just threw that chunk of $$$ at him for no reason.

I would have waited until the trade deadline to try and pry away a better point guard from someone else.

We probably outbid ourselves cuz that's a 3 year contract and i hear the last year is a TO, and a low buyout.. That can be huge in a sign and trade..

The team can Cut him, BO, or keep him as an expiring.. I'm speaking about if CP3 or Deron wants to be a Knick..



Who knows if we're done before the season start though.. This might just be a package we're tryna get

D'antoni system is very similar to the UNC system that Felton is familiar with, he'll also get more shots than he did with the Bobcats. Larry Brown doesn't believe point guards should be scorers, Dantoni obviously doesn't feel the same way.
