I never thought we'd be able to have BOTH Gallo and AR! If you're gonna go young that's a great start. He's so fluid! Nelson is a bit crazy to give up on the kid so early IMO. His upside is beyond Lee by a great deal.

i see an athletic, running big man, does he have an outside shot? does he block shots? is he tough? who does he profile to be, a comp?

Just watch his youtube "highlight" videos...thats how everyone else is basing their opinion on him

way to make blanket statements that i know you can't back up. what do you post, once every 3 months? name names if you're going to make bull**** statements like that. i'll be waiting and very intersted to see your list.

here's a name

You all look at a couple of highlight reels and think thats enough evaluate a player...I dont have to name names I'm talking to all of ya.

Man...he is flying a lot but he never seems to take gravity into consideration. He comes down in awkward ways too often. I hope he has become more durable.

Yeah that kid takes off offbalance a lot. They need to try to teach him to go up straighter but it may be hard if he reacts on instinct. I still love his talent and size. If we can get this kid trained to get rid of his flaws he'll be a steal.

Very fascinating duo of Gallo and Randolph. Both about the same age, height and build. Really high ceilings. We have the chance to watch both of them grow into very good players.

The most interesting thing about this rebuild is the fact that there is a strong youth movement component combined with the potential for 2-3 free agent stars to join the Knicks as well.

That is how the C's did it.

Consistency and staying under control why still using his athletic ability will determine whether is a 20-25 MPG rotational players, or a starter playing 35+MPG.

I wonder how he feels about coming the NYC, by the way?

I think that Amare is the oldest player we have at this point and he is still only 27.

AR has KG type of potential. Nellie is an idiot. It is a disgrace this man is allowed to further ruin the Warriors. A proud team that deserves better. AR has added muscle since he came into the league. I can't believe Donnie pulled it off.

It seems Donnie gets those naps in so he can make great late night deals! We'll have plenty to watch in terms of young developing talent.

That's what I'm hoping- when Camby came here he was seen as too skinny, weak, questionable work ethic, soft etc- much the same as what Randolph's reputation seems to be at the moment. What's key is hopefully Amar'e's leadership- hopefully he'll mentor him into becoming the player we desperately need to salvage this summer

Vdesai - love the length. Think of Randolph as Marcus Camby with a dash of George Gervin

The Lakers have 6'10-plus Gasol, Bynum and Lamar

The Knicks have 6'10-plus Amare, Gallo, Randolph, Jordan (The Earl of Barron?) and a center to be named later)

Beat Miami!
