Would you be willing to trade Gallinari, Eddy Curry, 3 mil and a 2nd rounder for Johnny Flynn? That trade gives the Knicks the potential to sign 2 maximum players and David Lee. The lineup then could potentially be:

Flynn
McGrady (resigned for a 1 year 2 mil contract)
Lebron (max contract)
Bosh (max contract)
David Lee (resigned to a 6 year 72 mil contract that starts at 10 mil)

Bench: Douglas, Walker, Chandler, Baron, 2nd round pick, vet, vet

I've been over Bosh a long time. I'm not huge on Stouds either, but at least he shows fire (Despite a questionable attitude. Bosh's defense is just as bad as Lees, so that frontcourt would be just as bad as what we have now on the defensive end. I would rather not pay huge money on both of those guys. I'd rather just keep Lee and maybe wait it out and see if anyone else becomes available.(While getting LeBron of course.)

I like the idea, though I would demand Rubio come back instead. Though I do like Gallo more than Lee.

If we could deal Chandler and Douglas in lieu of Gallo I'd pull the trigger.

Rubio
Gallo
LBJ
Lee
Bosh

That floats my boat

i'd rather keep Gallinari then trade him just so we can clear enough cap to overpay for David Lee... DW's mentality of giving up our young assets to clear a few mil in cap space is becoming infectious apparently.

if there's a deal i would pursue with MIN, it's a Chandler for Rubio swap... doubt MIN would give up Rubio tho.

Chandler for Flynn is as far as I'd go. They don't need anything else from us.

Gallo is untouchable as of now beyond landing Bosh, Amare, Wade, LeBron in an S&T.

I think they'd be stupid to turn down Chandler for Rubio were they to pick Wall.

But we are talking Minny, here.

it would be hard to give up Chandler for an unproven kid and there are massive hurdles in getting him over here next year if we did trade for him. He's 2 years away because of that buyout

Don't think that Flynn proved enough to me last year to give up a Chandler or Gallo for him. If it was S.Curry instead of Flynn being discussed, that might be another case, though.

The Knicks are just not going to give up Gallinari at this point unless you are getting one of the top tier FA's back in some kind of sign and trade. This past season was too intriguing for Walsh and MDA to give him up unless they are getting a star caliber player back in return.

And if Gallo shows marked improvement next year, with a few "wow" games, he is going to be in the near untouchable category.

We still don't know where he will end up as a player, and until we have a better idea, he remains a Knick.

Collison is better than Flynn.

Gallo >>>>> Flynn

He's already in the untouchable category.

I'm surprised that no one here is interested in that trade. If the Knicks put together a 25 year old LeBron, a 26 year old Bosh and a 25 year old David Lee, they essentially guarantee the next 4 championships barring injury. That's worth Gallinari. The trade also gives the Knicks Flynn.

The posters who think that the Knicks could trade Chandler for Rubio are delusional. The Twolves turned down Chandler and the #8 pick last year for Rubio.

I think they're going to trade some front court players for another top pick and select both.

Chandler is a better player now than he was last year. Rubio hasn't done jack in the NBA and they would ostensibly want a solid/defensive wing like Chandler more than a glut of potential (Wall, Rubio, Flynn) at the 1 spot. Wall will be a number one pick, which is a big contract. No sense keeping Rubio. Flynn is far more NBA ready than Ricky at this point. Rubio is a risk for them (and really any team that already has an excellent PG). Since the Knicks have very little at the 1, Rubio makes sense for us to take the gamble.

I'm not saying some other team with a crappy back court might not make a better offer than Chandler. That's possible and might force us to give up a future pick or even TD. We'll just have to wait and see.

It's an ok idea but there are A LOT of good scenarios if we sign LeBron and Bosh. Making that trade before having those guys would be insane.

If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
