turiaf is another gallo in that you cannot bench him if you want to get max production. turiaf and gallo without amar'e by their side look quiet normal. while chandler has that inner spark, to look like the man coming off the bench.

mda may be rewarding wilson for his spark but he is hurting the team, in that the knicks need that spark off the bench. lets really make this about team ball and put players in the best position to help the team win.

get turiaf back in starting rotation and ffs find minutes for ar i dont give a sheep what coach see's in practice we need ar in game. and yes play rautins too, felton played 45 mins yesterday, nuts, thats team ball? rautins could have given felton a couple mins breather. start using your team coach.

Carmelo is not a guard defensively nor is Gallo for that matter. So, you would have a logjam at the small forward spot and a unbalanced starting five on the defensive end.

under your scenario, personally, i would switch gallo to the 6th man slot. he would add credibility and height to the bench and give you another good option for scoring when melo and or amare are out. that, imo, would be ideal and a way to utilize both melo and gallos skills pretty well.

take the superstar out the game on any team and they look avg or worse

that said, i wouldn't overpay to get Melo... Wilson & Gallo are both really good... if it takes much more than those guys to get Melo then i don't want Melo.

Gallo in any trade hurts us TMS......

Hope this kid proves me right b4 any trade!

He is getting closer...... I guarantee a HUGE game from Gallo tonight in a WIN!

do i get a manup thread if you're wrong?
