most of us have I assume.. greg monroe from georgetown was a hot commodity last year... not a very athletic big, but can pass the ball, doesn't dominate like he should, but is a real team player. If people get on gallo because he is passive, monroe will not be much better..

Evan turner is a nice player, a slick player, but honestly isn't that athlete chandler is and I am not so sure he will be a better player than chandler.. he pretty much is the same age as chandler(will be 22 in oct). I really don't see where he is that much better of a prospect...

but whatever......

I was hoping that Turner would come out last year and we could get him. I would have taken him over Hill in a heartbeat. He is not the athlete Chandler is but is a more complete player, IMO, who also has leadership abilities. I see him as being similar to R.Hamilton.

Doubt that we end up with either of them, though.

Agree with you about Monroe. Have not seen him this year, though- has he gotten any stronger?

monroe is puttin up better stats as a soph, though tkf is quite right i think... folks will crap all over him cuz he plays kinda soft and may pass up a shot before taking his own. its still possible its jt3's style and he is just doing what his coach says which could be a good thing.

Are you even aware of how often you flip flop on the players you comment on and start threads like this on?

I think he's the only one that doesn't see this. His flip flop on Jordan Hill was miraculous

12 months ago Greg Monroe did not rebound or defend like he has this year. 12 months is a long time--I would suggest watching G town play and come back and tell me the difference. The reason why he wasnt in the draft last year was his soft play. He came out and has been aggressive all year[which he was not last year] his rebounding is up 35% and his post and passing game is up another two levels as well. I'm well aware that were not sniffing these players--number 1 because we over value Gallinari and number 2 if they didnt trade Chandler for Curry in the last draft--they arent moving him either. I'm saying if I could I would Knicks wont and most likley cant--they want 5 SF playing in the starting unit.

You can't trade Gallo and Chandler again....

You already traded them along with Hill for Monta Ellis.

Last year he only scored within the offense, and now he's scoring at least half of his points on just his own moves or fast breaks.

I would trade either one with Jordan Hill for Monta Elllis--today tomorrow and yesterday.

But you already traded all 3.

That said --- I wouldn't trade Gallo straight up for Ellis and I wouldn't package Hill and Chandler for Ellis.

That is foolishness considering Monta's contract.

You are too emotional & impatient Briggs -- you'd get killed as a GM (absolutely killed).

You also think every flashy looking college player will be the next Oscar Robertson.

BINGO!! I have said that so many times about briggs. And no harm, I understand he is passionate about the knicks, like all of us are, but briggs will sway back and forth so quick and often... If Briggs were a GM, you would make a killing catching him on a day his team loses.. LOL
