Sergio, if we could just trade Gallo and Curry for Melo right now, I don't think anyone on the forum would argue against it. Nobody has said Gallo is so good he's untouchable. But you have advocated trading any and everything to get Melo.

Hell, I'd give up Gallo + crap for Melo, too. It would be an ideal trade since Gallo would be redundant at the 3 and too good to be a bench player. I don't think Denver is too interested in that trade. Maybe in February.

Huh? There's a number of people here who think Gallo is untouchable.

We even had one goof say he would only trade Danilo Gallinari for Kevin Durant. Meaning he wouldn't trade him for Kobe, LeCon, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Brandon Roy and so on. LOL

Gallo isn't even a top 75 player. I mean, the worst team in the league last season (New Jersey) has 3 clear cut better players than Gallo. Yet some here say he's untouchable. LMAO

I think he looks very good out there. He reminds of Shane Battier. Maybe doesnt do anything amazing statistically but the dude knows how to play.

Harangody was proving that in the game last night. He plays like some kind of devious Dr. Isiah Thomas combination of David Lee and Channing Frye. Rebounds, like crazy, shoots from the outside, can't play a lick of defense.

My issue with getting a player like Carmelo is that he will take up max cap space and he doesn't bring you over the hump compared with what we have. I'd much rather spend the cap space on a player like CP3/Deron or a quality big man, rather than getting a volume scorer. Volume scorers are overcompensated. See Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford, Allen Iverson, etc. They don't bring teams more wins. Ball distributors and big bangers/rebounders/shot blockers are what this team needs more.

I think the team will try to trade Chandler. He's a free agent after this season, so it will have to be done by the trade deadline if the team doesn't want to keep him.

Exactly.

He's a better version of Wilson for less money.

He's a more efficient scorer, better rebounder, and much smarter player. He'll probably have a better 3 point shot before you know it too.

Wilson has some value because he's a versatile two way player, but he's somewhat redundant on this team and I can't see them shelling out much more money to keep him next year with Fields in the picture.

I like Fields to but I don't think he holds a candle to Chandler. Chandler averaged 15 and 5 last year with almost a block a game and he is only 23. Fields has been a terrific surprise but he isn't where Chandler is as a player in my opinion. Hopefully Fields makes the rotation.

right now i agree w/u Wilson is the better player... it's more a question of the cap than anything else... with another year under his belt i think it's reasonable to think Fields will give u comparable production on a rookie scale salary... the Knicks will use the freed up money to target other guys in free agency or free up dollars for a future trade... i like Wilson, always have, but i think his days in NY are numbered
