We don't HAVE to trade Chandler.

yeah we do. gallo is not a PF.

He can be a PF in MDA's system. We haven't seen his post up game much yet, but don't doubt that he will develop one. He is a high IQ, high effort guy with a hoops pedigree and a desire to be great.

there's no reason to play him at pf at this point in his career. let the guy work on his game and be a wing player.. he could turn into a pf over time, but for us, whether we get bosh or not, we won't have a big man to pair him with downlow. if we had a guy like al jefferson manning the 5 spot then fine, go ahead and play gallo at pf.

dude it's not all about offense, you know there is a defensive side to basketball. gallo has shown that he is a good perimeter defender and right now he really has no chance at guarding almost any opposing 4 in the NBA down on the blocks, he's nowhere near strong enough. he is NOT a pf. this isn't fantasy basketball, guys have to play the positions they can play.

Agreed. I'm banking on Danilo Gallinari getting stronger and better defensively in the post. And if he can't handle some PF's on some night's, the assignment will go to Wilson Chandler or Chris Bosh or someone else. Having Gallo at PF is not the worst thing in the world.

no it's not the worst thing in the world, i agree with that. i just don't think this year you want to see gallo as your pf, UNLESS, you have a guy like al jefferson manning the 5. i just don't think gallo will help out a guy like bosh enough down there.

i do think that eventually gallo will put on the necessary weight and strength to play the 4, the same way dirk did, but that's not going to be this year.

i still think personally that a line up of TD/Bron/Gallo/Bosh/Jefferson is our best bet.

The Knicks need to trade Wilson Chandler. He's not lazy or has a low IQ, like some of his haters around here claim, but what he is, is passive by nature. He lets the game come to him like 85 percent of the time. You get Lebron in here and you might as well give Wilson a chair and a diet coke when he's on the court, 'cause he's just going to sit there and follow Lebron with his crazy ass eyes. He'll turn into Jamario Moon or some shyt.

Once Lebron and ____ sign, package Wilson with Curry's expiring --- PRONTO.

What makes you think he won't motivate them (cause Gallo took a back seat to mcgrady in his first 10 games as a knick), especially if he's running the point.

Its quite possible. One would hope that would be the case --- I like Wilson. But I think the arrival of Lebron would intensify that meandering personality trait of his. Its tough for a lot of cats to orbit around a superstar without receding, and I anticipate Wilson being one of those guys.

I agree. Wilson is a nice player to have, but where is he going to play and when? And what will LeBron play if we get him, b/c HE strikes me as a natural point foward, who can also switch to PG, SG and PF, but he's mainly a SF. Is Wilson skilled enough to play the 2? Is he big enough for the 4? I would say no to the second question, and we haven't seen enough for the first question because he does get pretty nonchalant. His defense will be alright no matter what though, unless these injuries start piling on, and that's a big unless. Therefore, I have to say that Wilson is trade bait, whether we get LeBron or not, because there's always 'Melo next season. Definitely use him to trade up in this years draft.

Word. And I thought the bold line was very funny. Wilson and Eddy for Rubio's rights?

Haha. Good looks. But are you sold on Rubio like that? A, I dont think that fool Kahn would think its enough, and B, if we got that trade wrong it could really set us back. I just dont know jack shyt about Rubio to be honest.

I'm not trying to assume they're coming, but if Lebron and another max are in tow I think we gotta look for something more proven. Rubio is too much of a wild card, IMO.

Nobody does but they like to talk like they do

I hear you and I agree. But his playmaking skills appear to be off the charts, and there's a chance we lose Lebron after three years once he decides that Brooklyn is the real deal (as far as NYC hoops is concerned). Rubio may be a bust, or he may be the missing link to MDA's system (a la Steve Nash, who might be available for a minimum in 2011 to serve as his mentor).

Clearly if we get Lebron, then we don't need Rubio. It's more of a Plan B type idea that we trade Curry and Chandler for Rubio and filler.
