Gallo and Chandler were great value when they were on rookie deals. Now their combined salary is close to what Melo makes. Not so much value anymore.

gallo and mozgov are both super talented and really coming into their own. mozgov was outplaying bynum last night.

Which Bynum, Engaged or non engaged? For all the hype he gets the guy rarely shows up. I do not think he will ever be able to carry a team n his own.

Perhaps because no matter how much Melo-trade fans want to confound the three transactions, there was no requirement to do the Melo trade in order to get Lin and Chandler. There is nothing wrong with asking which of the two above teams you'd wish to have since either actually was a possibility.

No way we get Lin with Felton here - you know that. He was an inch away from getting cut with the great TD at the helm - c'mon - be honest.

Amare - 20 mil
Gallo - 10
Chandler 8
Felton 7
Tyson 14.5
Moz 3.5

How would Tyson fit in the cap?

We had the amnesty. Gallo is making $4 mil this year. The OP asked which would you prefer, not how likely would Dolan have been to achieve scenario 1. My guess is if he hadn't traded all our assets for Melo, he would have for Deron or made some other bad decision. There is no reason to confound what we'd like to do with what Dolan would have done.

How about next years salary for Gallo? I don't think that works.

Who was being amnestied?

Silly and Misleading poll

Neither did I but I voted for option 1 anyway just to piss off MrKnickShot!

LOL - I voted option 1 too Because it included Lin and Chandler

Once again, I always stated that Dolan outbid himself and overpaid.

As far as actually judging the outcome of the trade, I have stated that I would not make that determination until 3 years post trade (I learned my lesson with the Eli Manning trade) It is way too early to judge.

Denver was a great team with Melo, they won 50 games a year and was at the top of the league in scoring. They were better those years with him then they are now however, we have to see how they build with their new pieces.

Denver playing the best Laker teams and SA in the first rounds was no comparison to this year. Anyone who has watched the lakers knows this clearly. And no MWP really killed them along with OLD Gasol who is being shut down by FARIED, no heart BYNUM and much older Kobe. I think not having PJax might hurt a bit too.

Lets see how Denver (and the Knicks) look in 2 years. I think that is fair.
