I think with what is going on I am going to stick with Gallinari for now. He's got too many hard to find skills and I am willing to be patient to see what his upside. Spieghts is a good player and represents a huge need for us right now but I am not looking at right now.

I'll pass

Thew point is the management is saying that Gallinari is supposed to be some kind of franchise type talent and I submit he is not as good as many of his contemporaries he was drafted with let alone other various NBA players. I don't see much difference between Ryan Andersen and gallinari. This is no knock on Gallinari but rather the people who run the Knicks. I am very very concerned how we are playing and what is going on with every part of this organization right now as a fan--and we have all endured a lot of bad times. I think our management has to keep an open eye to what we have and not over rate it anymore.

We seem very accepting of being 1-8 and Donnie Walsh only answer is 2010. At 1-8 I want to see Jordan Hill play 25 minutes--I want to see if we can move vet players for picks--this season is over--think about it--do we have the capability of playing .500 ball for the next 73 games---I havent seen it--so at 7 under with honestly no chance of playing 500 ball let alone above it--then do something.

When we're setting records for ineptitude down the road another month from now, the press will not care that 2010 is coming up. They will not care. They will start digging up everything that Walsh has done wrong and laying out a case for him to be removed just like they did with Layden, LB and Isiah.

You cannot do this in NYC. Its not about patience. Its about the resources all the NY teams have and the expectation that our teams should not embarrass us no matter what.

Walsh left this team without players to perform basic basketball positional skills. We don't have a SG. This is the NBA. We don't have a freaking shooting guard. Our point guards are horrific in terms of initiating the offense, and the system is predicated on exactly that. Its really amazing. There were plenty of shooting guards and points available in the draft. Just ridiculous that he went with a forward. I know he's looking for an Amare clone, but Hill is not Amare. Sign Stromile Swift off the street for a year for god's sake. The backcourt should have been a priority.

come july 9th, 2010 when lebron signs with the knicks, anything and everything prior to that date will be forgotten as if it never existed. so he will get a pass until that day.

He has set this roster up to sign two max earners this summer. After that he can use his expiring contracts to add good role players (JJ and or Curry whoever is left).

He's going to get a couple big guns in here. The question is will we be happy with who signs? I mean Lebron and Bosh sounds great! Joe Johnson and Michael Redd not so much.

Time will tell but like it or not that is the plan. We will also have a pretty good idea how he did with Gallo, Douglas and Hill by the end of the year. We dont know now.
