Wow man. Genius post. We could have had Morrow. So could 28 other NBA teams. Guess what? They didn't sign him either. Guess what else? All teams have their own scrubs. No roster has all great/good/decent players on it 1 through 15. Oh and please guess one more thing? Stop discussing Gallinari and Randolph until Gallinari plays a healthy NBA season. Thanks.


Briggs throws out about 1000 of these meaningless posts.... If this were gallanari playing and randolph hurt he would tell us, how these meaningless games are pretty much garbage time and we need to wait until gallo does it when it counts.. LOL.. typical briggs, agenda driven BS..... If Randolph is headed to mega stardom, then the bulls with rose, the heat with beasley and the grizz with mayo all made Huge mistakes.. Unless all of those guys are headed to HOF careers as well....

Taking a look at the 2003 draft class, anything is possible. Sorry Joe, better luck next time.

I think the only reason why Randolph didnt go higher was body weight--but realistically-- and you can pontificate all you want--this kid is a star in the making. Anyone who really understands basketball knows it right about now.

It's not a ball breaking on Gallinari--he just doesnt have nearly the all-around abilities of Randolph--back problems or not. Gallinari could never play defense could never rebound block shots run jump dribble--anything other than jumpshooting Randolph is just flat out better at.

We took an inferior player because he was a better 3 point shooter--the whole point of the thread.


Briggs, this is just mindless jibber jabber.. really it is.. First of all gallanari is a better Shooter than randolph period, a better passer and thinker on the court than bitter beer face randolph.. according to your criteria, the mavs were fools for trading the bigger, stronger, better defending, more athletic tractor traylor for Dirk.. According to your jibber jabber briggs javele Mcgee should have been taken ahead of robin lopez.. So far Nicolas Batum looks like a better player than randolph and a lot of teams could have had him.. the problem is, you have an agenda here when it comes to anthony randolph. it is clear, it is also old and annoying....

I like Randolph as did many people here. I don't mind his tantrums on the bench as I love fire compared to passivity. But I will not agree about Gallo Briggs. He clearly is not the athlete but he is a team leader and has a head on his shoulders. He is the best shooter on this team and that is at 60%! Watching his tapes and hearing reports from people he played with, it's pretty clear he is special. We just never got to see that cause he was hurt. What if Randolph was the one hurt and Gallo playing? We have to give the kid a chance. Both Randolph and Gallo need a few more years before we cry over spilled milk.

I would have loved to have Randolph, but I really do feel that Gallo is a very very special player. Randolph may turn into an incredible player but he is not the type to raise those around hims game as Gallo is. To compare the players, I see it like this:
Gallo - HUGE advantage in shooting, passing, IQ and being a "glue" guy. You can see he played pro ball for years.
Randolph - Huge advantage on defense and athletic ability (I think Gallo will outscore him, albeit in a different way (inside and out)).

LOL at this thread....

LOL at Anthony Randolph scoring 20 points and grabbing 15 rebounds tonight and Anthony Morrow scoring 24 points grabbing 5 rebounds and 3 assists while Roberson and Gallinari watch them do it.

Actually it isnt funny

Anthony Randolph last 5 games
Vs. Utah 20 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, 0 assists, 0 steals
Vs. Denver 10 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 assists, 3 steals
Vs. Memphis 8 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists, 2 steals
Vs. Sacramento 17 points, 10 rebounds, 0 blocks, 1 assist, 1 steal
Vs. New Orleans 20 points, 15 rebounds, 1 block, 0 assist, 0 steals

When given minutes by Nellie he has responded.
they win any of those games or lose everyone by 20? Did any of those stat lines impact the game? I didnt watch any so I am honestly just wondering.

I think this thread went way off track. It was supposed to be that I hope the Knicks realize that three point shooting can trump many other important areas of the game and that I'm scared that I don't think they do. We had many other needs and still took Roberson. I wont get into Gallo other than to say he does follow along the same lines.

The Phoenix Suns were built on two undersized big men who were spectacular and in their prime Stoudemire and Marion. Those guys could not only score but use their athletic ability like Randolph to rebound block shots defend and run. Thats why I thought Randolph was perfect for us.

Our principle acquisitions where we had no restrictions were Gallo Duhon and Roberson. Kind of smallish not very athletic guards and a taller somewhat awkward yet skilled shooter in Gallo who lacks the athletic ability to run jump and rebound like the two Suns forwards or Randolph.


I think we need to focus on building a team that has less emphasis on that 3 point line. That is my main point in this thread.

Signing Roberson was stupid, and I'm pretty sure we all thought so at the time. Even though you can understand what they were thinking (they needed more shooting). But all his shortcomings are well documented, and were not hidden when they signed him. Not a wise move.

But your characterization of Gallo is way limited. Yes he's a great 3-point shooter, but you're either being dishonest or not paying attention if you think that's all the game he has.

I agree that the team should not focus on 3-pointers as the main weapon, but I don't think that is the plan anyway. It's just that as stuff starts to break down, the players are just jacking up these threes to try to get back in the game. I'm assuming that's not a mandate from the bench, but instead an indication that the players need to become more disciplined, trust the system, and run it better.

Remember, most of our players have been losing players their whole career. They need to understand how running a system well, and staying within it helps you win games. When (if) they see that, they will improve their team ball. Those that can't, ship 'em out.

Not that I disagree with some points you're making, but the Suns led the league in 3 point attempts for three straight years under D'Antoni (they were fifth last year). They also were 1st in 3 point percentage for the past four years as well. Their success was just as much (if not more) based on effectively hitting the 3 as it was Marion and Stoudemire.

Yes but they had those interior guys who could do everything else. From watching their play to their choices of players brought back I'd like to see a varied direction in terms of who they bring in.

Marion did shoot over 3.5 three point attempts during those 3+ years. Not that I disagree with you entirely...

Btw, what do you make of Bryan Colangelo? As you say, he was so successful with Marion and Stoudemire and then drafts Bargnani over Alridge, Tyrus Thomas, and Rudy Gay. I guess he forgot what made the Suns successful as well.

Yeah, they won 3 out of 5 of those games and the loses have been close. What a fool is Nellie by not playing this kid earlier in the year when they should have been going for wins. Now he gives him minutes and the Warriors are winning. They are close to the Knicks as wins. His impact on those games were very telling.

The coach said they need to take more threes. For pete's sake, he had Z-Bo launching 3 pointers. Everyone keeps attacking the players for taking too many threes when it's coming directly from the bench. Why doesn't D'Antoni adjust to his players? Just this week, he said he wanted Chandler to improve his 3 point shooting this summer. His offense calls for the open man to take the jumper which is in a lot of cases deep in the perimeter. That's why you see Jeffries now throwing up 20 footers.

We could've easily had Anthony Morrow on the team--and this is what scares me going forward. Who actually picked a smallish nothing G over a 6-5 22 YO who had superior skills in almost every category? Someone from Knicks management made a judgment on Roberson based ONLY on his jumpshot--forgetting the rest of the game of basketball. Same thing with Gallo--from what I have seen so far is they are fixated on the three point line and have neglected very important parts of basketball.
I'm really scared who is picking from the menu in terms of the up coming draft. It seems as if you cant shoot it from 30 feet--you wont be a Knick. We should put more focus on defense and rebounding--and getting higher % shots. To do this we need more athletic ability more size and a PG who can break people off the dribble. We have more than enough 3 point shooting.

We EASILY couldve had Morrow over Roberson and the pick kind of scares me.

ur wasting ur breathe... i raised the exact same argument the day we signed Robersuck & people told me i was way overreacting to a 12th man type signing... i guess minor role players are allowed to suck like there's no tomorrow... if u asked me then, i much rather wanted to sign Gerald Green or Von Wafer to that last roster spot... i had no idea who Morrow was at the time but he's turned out nicely for GS... but at least we got to see Robersuck's superior towel waiving skills on the bench, & Dinglebury had someone to talk to for the short time he was here this season.

You can't really use Anthony Morrow as a gauge of why signing Roberson was bad- no one really had a beat on that guy. But I think it was obvious that Roberson wasn't going to help pretty early on. Signing him to a guaranteed deal made little to no sense b/c what exactly was he supposed to bring to the table. Knicks should've been more fluid with his roster spot or at least carried a better prospect like Ewing Jr. Not saying Ewing Jr. is gonna be anything at all- but you knew Roberson was limited physically and had one skill (shooting), which he didn't even bring to the table for you. So what was the purpose? It was just a really bad eval.

Wow man. Genius post. We could have had Morrow. So could 28 other NBA teams. Guess what? They didn't sign him either. Guess what else? All teams have their own scrubs. No roster has all great/good/decent players on it 1 through 15. Oh and please guess one more thing? Stop discussing Gallinari and Randolph until Gallinari plays a healthy NBA season. Thanks.

It's not a ball breaking on Gallinari--he just doesnt have nearly the all-around abilities of Randolph--back problems or not. Gallinari could never play defense could never rebound block shots run jump dribble--anything other than jumpshooting Randolph is just flat out better at.

Briggs, this is just mindless jibber jabber.. really it is.. First of all gallanari is a better Shooter than randolph period, a better passer and thinker on the court than bitter beer face randolph.. according to your criteria, the mavs were fools for trading the bigger, stronger, better defending, more athletic tractor traylor for Dirk.. According to your jibber jabber briggs javele Mcgee should have been taken ahead of robin lopez.. So far Nicolas Batum looks like a better player than randolph and a lot of teams could have had him.. the problem is, you have an agenda here when it comes to anthony randolph. it is clear, it is also old and annoying....

excellent post.. briggs when he is on his soapbox about players he likes, will make it cut and dry.. Player X is a better athlete than player Y, so he is better.. But if it were the other way around, he would be talking ball IQ and intangibles... Briggs agenda is clear.. Gallo was hurt and still had a better rookie season than a lot of guys behind him.. If briggs really wanted to argue this fairly, he should be talking about us taking batum, who so far seems to be a player that would also flourish in Dantoni's system..

LOL at this thread....

LOL at Anthony Randolph scoring 20 points and grabbing 15 rebounds tonight and Anthony Morrow scoring 24 points grabbing 5 rebounds and 3 assists while Roberson and Gallinari watch them do it.

Actually it isnt funny

Anthony Randolph last 5 games
Vs. Utah 20 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, 0 assists, 0 steals
Vs. Denver 10 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 assists, 3 steals
Vs. Memphis 8 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists, 2 steals
Vs. Sacramento 17 points, 10 rebounds, 0 blocks, 1 assist, 1 steal
Vs. New Orleans 20 points, 15 rebounds, 1 block, 0 assist, 0 steals

When given minutes by Nellie he has responded.
they win any of those games or lose everyone by 20? Did any of those stat lines impact the game? I didnt watch any so I am honestly just wondering.


well they played dallas in place of utah and they went 2-3 in those last 5 games, blown out in two of those games pretty much.. so 2-3, sub .500 as expected..

Yeah, they won 3 out of 5 of those games and the loses have been close. What a fool is Nellie by not playing this kid earlier in the year when they should have been going for wins. Now he gives him minutes and the Warriors are winning. They are close to the Knicks as wins. His impact on those games were very telling.


they lost 3 out of 5...


Lost to dallas 128-106
Lost to Nuggets 129-116
Lost to memphis 114-109
Beat kings 143-141
Beat Hornets 111-103


they didn't play Utah and they didn't win 3 out of 5...

so now wouldn't it be fair to say his lack of impact was telling?.....
