James Dolan has woke up and smelled the coffee for once in his life.

Must be the same old coffee because that would be another giant starphuck.

Lakes coming to town, one game over .500 and its Melo time!

Cuz once we got him, its all gonna be ok!

at this point i think it's a given it will take us giving up at least 2 out of the 4 of our top young guys to get Melo... i don't really get the sense that Melo is crazy about the idea of waiting til free agency, he obviously wants a trade to go down so he can come play in NY this year & sign that extension... to get a player like Melo we need to be prepared to make some sacrifices... i mean like Steven A is talking about in this segment, he's practically gift wrapped himself with a huge blue & orange bow & sent the message to DW to come & get him by playing this out the way he's done up to this point... are we really going to pass up a chance to get him over wanting to hold onto a Landry Fields? or a Danilo Gallinari? i don't think most people believe DW should give up every young asset we have, but if you have a choice & can keep at least 1 or 2 of those kids & still get Melo, i honestly don't see what the hold up is.

Yessir.

As much as I'd personally love the idea of only giving up one of these guys, it just isn't enough talent-wise. I can't see the reasoning behind not giving up role players for franchise cornerstone.
