are you finally relenting on that point? you are right though, chandler has said multiple times that he's most comfortable at PF.

I have never seen him say that anywhere. I know he said he is a forward and considers small forward his position. He said he would do what coach ask of him. I said that he is able to play multiple positions which is a plus that MDA seems to love.

But i like his potential, I will blame the back issue's and his recovering summer of 09 in why he didn't improve one aspect of his game.

Im thinking that part of the reason for some of his poor shot selection is a reflection of Al, Nate, and the free flowing system he plays in

That's my point. Chandler was able to adjust to those guys while Gallo still doesn't seem able to do effectively. He still seems to have trouble with McGrady as well. Gallo seems to be a guy who needs to take a lot of shots to be effective in the long run. If you get a bona fide star in here, I'm not sure if they will have patience for guys like that. His early career is starting to remind of Hedo's in Sacramento. I think he will need to find a strong post player to play with to be effective game in and game out.

Chandler is getting better, gallo is not, but we'll have to see if he pulls a eddy curry on us and takes a complete back seat to another star coming in. he may turn into a jason kapono

So, ignoring our unrestricted free agents:

PG Douglas
SG Walker
SF Chandler
PF Gallo
C Curry

It seems to me that all 5 positions could use an upgrade. Otherwise, we have a pretty good bench.

same here..

in the UK editor, click the "Code" button. put your formatted stats inside the resulting [ code ] [ /code ] bracket pair.

it's strange to me that posters can't figure this out more easily... especially when you have the Reply button and can see how someone did it.

Should we change Code to Stats? Is there a better way for us to indicate?

Yeah, I'm not really sure why you called it "code". Basically it preserves your formatting, right? I see it maps to the html <pre> code. I would leave the name alone however, since many posters understand what it does and use it by that name.

You could think about updating the FAQ to be a bit more informative about what "code" does, but no one reads the FAQ, right? Maybe just best to leave well enough alone. Let posters help each other out, and encourage people to make use of the testing forum.

so mostly what you are saying is nyk4ever and jimimou are dumb ****s, right?

But for me, this offseason is a full rebuild, so Walsh needs to look at the available free agents, their respective costs, and the assets we have remaining to determine what is the best team that we can put together for the next 5 or 6 years. While certain younger players may have high values, I don't think any player from a losing team with our record is "untouchable". It really all depends on what you get back.

Right now we have a roster full of 6th men..other then Lee, when you look at the 4 championship contenders..magic, lakers, celtics, and mavs except for the cavs, not one of our players deserves to start.

I would trade anybody and everybody to get a top notch PG in MDA system..real talk here...if nash can turn avg players like Q rich, bell. Boris, Into a very good players and simutanously become a MVP of the NBA, why look or ask WHAT DO WE NEED..

I have been watching Deron williams lately, and my goodness I would easily give up the ranch, house poodle, and my kids tuition to get him..

Now I won't go that far. Trevor Ariza was the starting small forward on the Lakers when they won. Kendrick Perkins started at center on their team. I think if you move most of these guys to other teams from the Knick rosters they could be starters there. Q-Rich is doing his thing in Miami. Actually most guys that leave here go on to rather productive seasons. Strange really. I'm worry about Lebron and Bosh coming here and forgetting everything they know. I never put much into that Ewing curse thing but now...
