Bothers me because another GM would recongnize the severity of the problem with have at PG and be out there actively looking for solutions. Even perceived short term fixes could wind up being long term solutions... Again I've been sayin' it -- beggars can't be choosers. How do we show zero interest in a guy like this? What's up with the continued loyalty to guys like Calderon, Sasha V, even Galloway who isn't great? All 3 of those guys need to be replaced. At least the first 2 -- you wanna tell me there's a place for Galloway as a 3rd PG/SG, OK--there just needs to be MUCH MORE talent put in place ahead of him first. Galloway can't be a primary component -- he's just not good enough. There are some decision makers out there that if knee-deep in our situation, they'd pounce on a kid like this. They'd act quickly and aggressively here--the furthest thing from their minds would be hurting Jose, Sasha or Langston's feelings. They'd give this kid McCallum the keys to the bus shortly after getting him and then assess whether he could be a long term solution. Too bad Phil's not that type of guy. I suppose he was last year to a degree with Alexey Shved; why not go the same route now with Ray McCallum? We're still in the same exact position basically. And even Rambis, man--if Phil added a McCallum, no guarantee Rambo would even play him. Dude's talking about not displacing guys that have been here the whole year. Huh?? Open your eyes, Kurt -- THEY SUCK!!! The continued loyalty to some of these guards we have is incredible to me. What do we owe these guys? They're all holding us back big-time!

sad that a kid like McCullough is a 3rd sting PG on a good team, but would likely be the best PG on the Knicks and we aren't even interested :(

The Truth Hurts!

Hey maybe we do have a shot. I would think we need to be aggressive here--guarantee him PT the rest of the season, a look for next season. This kid doesn't have to sign here -- we need to prove to him this is a good situation for him, better than Detroit. Tough sell but we should pull out all the stops trying.

I like SVG a lot but guys at OKC did not and do not like Reggie Jackson. He would have a chance to start in ny. Hopefully that helps to convince him.

I mean imagine if we did nothing more than sign Ray McCallum and found a way to draft a Yogi Ferrell in the 2nd round--how much brighter our PG situation would look with McCallum/Ferrell/Grant. Go get McCallum, guarantee him PT and possibly, yes, even a starting role. Why not? Tell him this situation is wide open right now, which it really is. If we want this guy, we need to be aggressive. Can't go at this half-hearted. There's gonna be some competition for his services. Perfect player for us to bring in and evaluate right now.

It's obviously a chance getting him but sometimes players just need a team to give them a chance and let them show what they can do and on the right team that player could surprise so why not give him that chance since it can't hurt us in any way??

I'm glad the Knicks are at least doing due diligence.

If they decide Wroten or McCallum are the better fit, I'd be curious.

But, yeah, agree at this point - why not waive Lou Amundson and bring in both Tony and Ray?

I know the Wroten signing was more about next year (or totally).
But it is going to get loud in here if Ray McCallum plays well for a good Grizzlies team.
