why cavs do it fresh start. cavs team as presently made up is a goner, after they made love with lebron when he showed up to play em as a heat traitor. cavs team lost the fans that game, even the owner went public to appeal to fans to love the team again. negative.

why knicks do it ok we are taking on salary so the fug what, jamison is expensive but will help the knicks. varejao (key to the trade) would make for a most excellent playmate for amar'e.

Varejao would be a great addition after u make a move for a Melo or Iguodala in a trade, but not before... actually if we miss out on Melo & Iggy & decide to fill our holes at C & backup PG, a Curry for Varejao & Sessions trade wouldn't be too bad... but IMO it would be a plan C option at best.

ny has to take jamison to get varejao, or else it rly doesnt make it interesting for the cavs.

but we can swing such a trade plus wheel and deal for mayo. we have options as a team lets not feel glum about latest news on melo. a chandler/turiaf trade for mayo, and a td trade for telflair. forget about starting five, that is a misnomer that to me has no bearing in today's nba. think rotation.

a rotation of amar'e varejao mayo fields gallo felton telfair jamison thats a good look.

Why in the hell do we keep mentioning Chandler in a trade when he is our best defender and is getting better every year. That sucks. We build up these trades like we did with AR and before the season is half way over we want to run them out of town. After Varejao gets here we will be wanting to trade him. Keep Chandler he is one of the bright spots on this team and is better than Gallo.Gallo is a partier he is always seen in the clubs. His head is not geared for a New York player. Gallo gets caught up in the night life. Remember Dohun was his party buddy.

He upgrades the size of the frontcourt, hustles after loose balls, rebounds in traffic and has the ability to finish around the rack. The absolute BEST part is thathe will feed off the energy of the Madison Square Garden crowd. Varejao will embrace the city and the city will embrace him. As a tasty bonus, he compliments the marketing mix in a cosmopolitan ciy, which is always a good thing when you need the support of the crowd.

Yes.

Good call.

It didn't work for lebron (bring a championship playoff birth) so why do we think that it will work for Amear and the Knicks? Just stop and just see what Carmelo does. I would like to see what a good coach who knows how to communicate will do with AR.
