If the Knicks are trying for the playoffs someone does have to sit and that should be the guy who contributes the least to team success on the court. Unfortunately that guy was the 6th pick in the 08 draft and his lottery peers (before and after 6) continue to outshine him and contribute to the success of their teams. Other than a terrific shot I have not seen Gallo do anything that would make me think he will live up to his draft status or even eventually be able to start in the NBA.

Gallo is f'ed. MDA is doing him wrong there is no way Hughes should be playing ahead of him. Hughes hasn't played in a month and is rusty as hell. He pretty much sucks and should be earning his time through practice with the team instead MDA throws him into the rotation at Gallo's expense. This is a slap in the face to not just Gallo but to Knicks fans everywhere. The goal of the season is rebuilding and that seems to be thrown out the window for some BS playoff appearance. This Larry Hughes move is going to set this franchise back a year.

Walsh and MDA need to wake up they pulled a Isiah moves with aquiring Hughes.

The guys NEED to fight for the 8th spot. It's not just about developing one player, it's about developing a WINNING franchise. These guys need to learn how to win and you don't do that by giving up on your season with 29 games left to play. If this sets Gallo back, well, the teams bigger then one player. Gallo's going to have to stop sulking and show up tomorrow and prove that he should be getting minutes.

AND

Hughes has alot more tools than Q-brick.

Contribute the least what the hell are you talking about. Go back and look at the Knicks record since Gallo started to play. This guy has been contributing just by his presence alone. Sometime a team needs confidence and Gallo brings a swagger tot he Knicks that they didn't before.

You boy Hughes who pretty much gave up in Chicago contributed 3 points and a loss. Guarantee you had MDA not screwed Gallo and let him play he would have given the Knicks more than 3 points. I guarantee you that Chandler would have played better too.

What? Gallo's six points and swiss cheese defense has put us in the win column. Teams have figured him out how to defend him by getting right up on him when he touches the ball. His defense is a liability, if anyone needs practice it's Gallo and not Hughes and Wilcox.

I agree with you. If Gallinari is supposed to be a big part of the future--you give him his 10 minutes. When I thought about this Huges deal a little longer I didnt like it for chemistry reasons. Notice already Chandler minutes cut--Gallinari out. If it's all about 2010 and beyond--you let the kids play and develop while you are trying to be competitive. You want to say better than having James and Thomas--I say wrong. Tim Thomas was already part of the team --just let him be--that was making a trade for trade's sake. It had a combustible consequence. The Wilcox trade was solid. People can say hey wait 1 game--I say Lebron James wanted him gone Chicago wanted him gone 6 teams 12 years--chemistry wrecker--we shouldve kept Tim and just went with the Wilcox trade. And it will hurt us into next year again. 1 game too many

how do u reason that keeping Tim Thomas, a guy who plays the same position that Gallo does, would've resulted in more playing time for Gallo in the long run? Hughes is a G, Gallo's a F... the only thing that'll effect Gallo's minutes here is Gallo & how he plays the rest of the way... the role if open for him if he wants it... now it's up to him to earn it.

How do I reason it--how many minutes did Gallinari play today? If we are going to take time from someone it shouldve been Q Rich. Taking minutes from Chandler and Gallinari is dumb. Did Gallinari play with TT here when healthy--yes.

good ol' BRIGGS... drawing conclusive theses from 1 game samples... time to put Gallo on the shelf, he's obviously going to get DNP'd for the rest of the season because of Hughes' presence on the roster.

You are thinking from Gallo stand point you can't think like that you have to think from a team stand point. Don't you guys understand what Gallo bring to the table, he allows the others to be who they are. Hughes doesn't do that he is going to take away from everybody, minutes, shot and that is going to lead to team disharmony. You already saw everyones minutes get cut you are going to see how NYK production goes down.

Exactly, you have to think about it from a team perspective. Coach got two new players a needed to work them in to see what he's got and what kind of condition they're in. With Gallo, he already knows what he's got.

Hughes sucks, he should get a dnp next game. His shooting makes me want Roberson back.
