and Randolph to Indiana for a 2011 pick lottery protected + Dahntay Jones

We can insert Thompson in as the starting 5 and put Whiteside into the D league for 5-10 games

Indiana doesnt want Jones but he would give us some added toughness and energy on that second unit we are not getting + an additional asset for a draft loaded with PG's

That would put us at

C-Thompson
F Amare
F Chandler
G Fields
G Felton
C Turriaf/mosgov/Whiteside
F Jones
G Douglas
G Walker

Down the line I look to move Turriaf and his 4+mm for next year.

What gives? AR is supposed to be the second coming of _____________.

AR is an enigma to me. Ive read about his talent, but ive never seen it. Ive seen Gallo turn it on tho. If he gets back on track well be just fine. So lets all take a deep breath and settle down.

I think we need a guy we can pin in and score at the 5 more--kind of like what N Orleans is doing with Ok4 an West. I think its a good deal for all clubs. I really believe the conditions for Gallo to thrive here are done. I think we have a better chance of winning with Thompson Amare than Gallo Amare. Right off the bat that cuts down the 3 point shots!

Im nervous that we can go into a 7-8 game slide right now--unforotunately we are ripe for it.

Just out of curiosity, would you now trade Gallo and AR (and maybe Chandler) for Melo?

I know it's early, but Gallo and AR are light years behind where I thought they'd be, to the point where I'm wondering whether they're going to be anything other than good-ish and average, respectively.

I'm not sure about your trade, I'm so dispirited at the moment that I just feel any trade wouldn't help us. There aren't really any FA next year, and even if we got the Indiana pick, there's a chance they might end up with an okay record this year- I'm fed up with our highest draft picks being 8 or so. If we get rid of Gallo, there goes our chances of having a good 3pt shooter- though you look at our roster and we shouldn't really be having any trouble with 3pt shooting. Why has Mason Jr turned to absolute c**p? Just like Eddie House when he got here!

These Knicks have put me in such a foul mood this week...

Yeah, izybx, it does sound like panicing but if you look at our schedule, this is the easy part! If we go on a slide now and then hit that Decemeber/January patch (It is death! Look it up) with a poor record, then our season is over- honestly, these games we're playing now are so important and we're blowing it each game.

D'Antoni would have a fit if they didn't shoot the 3s.

The past few games have shown that we need shooters and you want to trade our only shooter?

Douglas Felton Chandler Fields Walker--how many 3's do you want? Did you happen to notice we have no post offense? We need an offensive post 5!

Every player you just mentioned is very average outside shooting with douglas and walker being slightly above average at best. We need a 3-point sniper on the team. Gallo has been struggling but he is that player. There's only about 10-15 of those types of players in the league who are high volume, high make shooter that can start in this league. Gallo is one of them. I agree Thompson would fill a lot of needs and would be a great center for us, but not at the expense of our only real good shooter.
