They always do.

I do not believe he and the other folks that are being too short sighted do realize where the concerns of the concerned originate.

There are very few folks that don't or didn't actually want Melo on the team, it's just that most of those that did had a "better" deal in mind and not one that screwed Denver or anything, just one that didn't gut the Knicks's depth.

Did we get a good player? Yes.. the Diva will have his monster games here, there is no doubt. Was it a good trade that brought him here? It was pretty much the worst scenario possible. We bankrupted our assets to build around two guys who dont defend anyone and we are left with massive holes at center and PG where we had a good young PG and a promising prospect at center.

Its really too bad Mosgov had that big game. It would have been a game changer if we could have hung on to him.

Agreed. This team will win some games but with the lack of size, they will suffer. I hope DW can make a deal for a C because if not, this team will get killed.

I was against giving up all these assets.

To me Mozgov and Gallinari should not have been traded.

I'm a bigger fan than you, I joined before you. Hahaha!

Probably true. I've lost a lot of weight recently.

Me too.

So we don't sign Melo. Then what? We cross our fingers and wait for 2012, uncertain of the new CBA and putting another year of mileage on Amare? Or we cross our fingers and hope that Wil (who most definitely was NOT going to be signed after this year) and/or Gallo turn into stars? I love those guys, but they were both inconsistent this season and seeing them both be on simultaneously was as rare as a JD Salinger sighting. And Felton fell off a cliff for the last month and a half or so.

If it's the mechanics of the deal, with Dolan or Isiah possibly lurking in the shadows, then I get the rancor. Trust me: no one thinks those douches are more pathetic than I do, but no one knows how it REALLY went down right? We've got conflicting reports and that's it.

The sad truth is, lower seeds don't win NBA titles. And unless you have more than one star, you're likely a lower seed. This isn't the any-given-Sunday NFL. Sure we might be able to take a game, maybe two, from Miami or Boston, but not a series. Maybe Melo won't be the Messiah and Mozgov will turn into Soviet-Hakeem and Gallo will get over his aversion to memory foam and morph into a top-shelf baller--but taking a shot while the getting's good is preferable to lovable, but sustained mediocrity, right?

Chess vs Checkers. That is all.
