Walsh made it happen and we have no idea what his other alternatives would have been other than was we read as outsiders.

At best we were never better than 25% chance of landing the biggest of fish anyway!

If expectations were we'd be on July 5th all signed and sealed with starphuck vegas odds roster catch of the century with starphuck kudos to hail Donnie "stiff necks" Walsh as Exec of the year making lebron and bulls his bitch with Bosh on a leash then y'all Santa Claus expectations are too high!

pretty much... and we just landed a big, huge, All NBA fish. You don't get that being a rookie. All weee neeeed is just a litttttle patttttttience, yeah yeah, just a litttttttttle pattttttttttttieence, yeah yeah

yeah, i don't get this thread whatsoever. people need to chill

The rookie GM just created some room for Gallo to operate on the perimeter

"Lebron James please pick up the orange courtesy phone...."

Now it gets interesting

The thing is most fans want to wait to see what happens here and then if we don't get Lebron they'll immediately start bitching about Jordan effing Hill. People need to understand that in real life you can't have it both ways. You can keep Jordan hill or try to get a real superstar not have both.

how about keeping our draft picks? or should we just give away picks every year for cap space?

Like we said before you couldn't have kept your draft picks and freed up cap space at the same time for this years FA bonanza. Isiah didn't leave us with that luxury. I have said this a hundred times and I'll keep saying it, Walsh had to choose between draft picks and cap space and given that draft picks usually don't turn into Lebron type players I am happy he chose wisely. But Walsh had to make that decision and did not have the luxury of continuously looking back.

What we had before the T-Mac trade was one Max slot and you can see that we would not have even been in the running for Lebron with that. Right now at least we have a reasonable chance of landing him despite what Playa2 says. If all this doesn't work future trades can still bring back draft picks, but NOTHING will ever bring back an opportunity to sign Lebron/Wade

so let me get this straight... if u lay out a plan to go after a chick you think is hot, & you sell some valuable possessions of yours to raise money to buy this chick a gift, & she still turns you down, you're gonna tell me it was all worth it just to try? sorry, but "try" is not good enough when you're gambling with the future of your franchise... "do or do not, there is no try" as a wise, short little green guy once said.

Knicks with Amare IS convincing to LBJ or anyone else to join our team.

End of story.

We just landed the best PF in the game and there's complaints about it.

OMG IF ONLY THAT WAS JORDAN HILL THEN EVERYTHING WOULD BE PERFECT!!!!11122234455098908409358092381238019283three.

Welcome to 2010 - year of the complainers.

I think this is a great signing for NY.

Another bad analogy. You keep talking about draft picks like they are a sure thing if not they are not "valuable posessions". All I would be giving up is may be the chance to date another three or four other chicks who may turn out to be hot in the next 5 years or so (assuming all nine planets line up and the mayan predictions don't come true).

i'd always choose the 3 or 4 really good shots at getting laid with semi-hot to potentially really hot chicks over getting Adriana Lima in the sack with me... which one do you think is more likely to happen?

It's a case by case thing, in Walsh's case neither is very likely to happen. While you may be happy with semi hot chicks even you would not be happy with a first round playoff exit (roughly the equivalent of what you would get). When you are going for the chip nothing but the best is gonna get it done.

Rather than repeat myself just look to my post on it back in this thread somewhere.

Yet don't lock this up. I like watching the Zach Randolph, Jamawful Crawful, and Jordan Hill fanboys still cry over their departure as we build a new winning team....that will actually, get this, WIN GAMES and not suck their way to 30 wins and "it's the coaches' fault" type failures.

AMEN

I don't hate Walsh but I think he has made a lot of obvious mistakes that in my opinion are inexcusable. I think the most obvious is that he always lets everyone know what his goal is. Everyone knew who the Knicks were going to pick in 08 and 09 if he was available. In 08 other teams planned their draft strategy around the Knicks picking Gallo.

generally speaking, the top 10 picks are figured out by EVERYONE. Check out DraftExpress, Chad Ford.. these guys have it nailed down.
