You saw last night evidence of how good Gallo and chandler were on another team. They are no the stars so to speak--had little practice time--adn shouldve propelled their team to 3-0 that was a freak loss--Denver fans have to be laughing--Knick fans will soon see a mistake that cant be rectified with our cap.

This blows.

They're good? Haven't proven that yet.

We're getting Chris Paul? Haven't proven that yet.

We're a 60 going to be a 60 win team? Haven't proven that yet.

I think we're capped out and going to see early playoff exits over the next few years. But this post wasn't about being a GM. This post was about my feelings about rooting for this team.

I like watching young teams grow. I like seeing if guys who have potential are going to reach it. I liked the guys we had. I'm just not as excited about what we have now. It's not a right or wrong thing. It's a personable preference.

Hey I'm a Yankee fan - but if it wasn't for guys like Jeter, Mariano, Posada, Hughes, Cano - I don't think I'd be that interested in watching all their hired guns. Sometime you need to change personal to grow. But trading four core young players that I've had fun watching has dampened my enthusiasm.

I was enjoying the Knicks for the first time since the Ewing error.

It was interesting to project what Gallo, Chandler, Moz would become. Felton was a bull-dog. AR was a wild-card - maybe someday he would actually play and live up to his potential.

I liked Clyde because he was cool, Starks because he was a lunatic, Melo nothing. If anything he reminds me Marbury.

Not feeling it.

I like your use of "error" instead of "era." Clever.

I wasn't excited about the win vs Milwaukee or that upset about the loss last night. Mostly indifferent, to be honest

We had a lot of hope and feelings invested in the guys we gave up. There was also the mystery factor- since we did not yet know how good Gallo, Mosguv, Wilson, and even Felton, to an extent, could be.

Billups will never improve as a player at this point- with him you are getting a "last hurrah" from a great PG who I would have wanted 5 years ago, not now. He would have been a great backup for Felton, and I would have loved getting him alone from the Nuggets, but not at the cost we paid for him and Melo.

As for Mello, what you see is what you get. He has played exactly as I expected he would, and I don't expect to see anything different from him. He is a volume scorer, one of the most offensively talented in the league, but that is all he is going to give you and we already had a similar player in Amare. And the kicker is that we do not get a chance to see Melo develop. We get a pre-established star (not a superstar- hope some folks realize/accept this) who I look on as a mercenary, not one of my guys.

Hope things change, but...

Its going to take time but Amare/Melo arent as talented and arent playmakers like Lebron/Wade

Oh well... I'm just hanging back waiting for this team to get me into it

Dude Lebron and Wade are brick masons which is why they lose to Boston because they don't excel in half court sets.

We shouldn't be trying to out run teams. We should be slowing the pace down and punishing teams in the half court game.

I said this before the trade.. the knicks will no longer be a running team. we are now as small halfcourt team that doesn't rebound and our offense is a two man iso offense.. BORING!!
