This would be akin to Portland complaining about Stevie Franchises health when they found their sucker and dumped Zach on us.

It's utterly moronic.

This would be akin to you asking to use a lottery pick to get rid of the player like you wanted to. Sit back watch and learn son. He knows what he is doing,

Don't make me hurt you old man.

Let's see. I was talking about trading down from #6 to #16 to get rid of Zach. Knicks ended up with Gallinari and the Sixers ended up with Marreese Speights. Yeah, I stand by that and would take Speights for Gallinari in a heartbeat. And so would you. Funny how that worked out.

At number 6 they could've picked anyone they wanted to--that was the beauty of 6. They liked the player and they picked him--they could not have not have drafted him at 16. Just think about it--it cost nothing to get rid of him two days ago--yet you were willing to PAY heavily to get rid of him. Get it?

That "logic" is laughable. You're the type of person who would mock a contestant on "Deal or No Deal" for taking the $450,000 offer when the only 2 suitcases left were for $1,000,000 and $1, and they had the million in their suitcase. Bully for you that you can bank on hindsight but it's not worth the risk.

Yeah, their pool of players were larger by 10 but they picked a kid with a bad back who can't get through a summer league game. And there's no guarantee that he wouldn't have dropped to the 16th pick if they hadn't taken him. It sure as hell wouldn't have been the first time that a player dropped down from where some thought he could go.

Honestly, it's like I never left. You're still hung up on the rumored trade with the Sixers pre-draft, which amazingly enough still looks like it would have been a good deal in the Knicks favor. Get over it Briggs. You were wrong then and you're wrong now.

Ah, for all the patience we say we have, we still can't wait until Danillo is healthy to evaluate him. Let him recover, you will be pleasantly surprised with him.

Agree with the last line.



Regarding the Knicks doctors: Does anyone see the irony in the fact that the Knicks medical team was unable to see that Gallinari needed more rest for his back and because of their ineptitude, they probably delayed his recovery, and the present case, where they examine a guy who has been playing decent minutes so far, seemingly without any problems, and find that he is unfit to be traded for?

Perhaps this is Walsh's way to get an extra draft pick, but I can see a battle between both team's medical crews if the Knicks say that Thomas or Mobley is/are damaged goods.

Didn't Gallinari rest for 3 full months after his one and only summer league game? I don't necessarily blame the doctors here, the kid is just a gimp.

"It's not going to happen," Bosh said of a significant change to the team.

is that like a senator saying "I'm not going to run for president"

My prediction is the Randolf trade gets voided. Bosh for Randolf and the Raptors get their pick of our young players and/or our draft pick for expirings. Bosh by Christamas, crazier things have happened

All I know is it's Marbury and IT's fault this happened, they messed with the tests. LOL

ha yeah, IT's new position should definitely be holding the cup for new players' physicals

Give us Deandre Jordan pick 36 and we'll do the deal.

Damn, Donnie is gully. At the very least he is making the Clips squirm as payback for them putting us through the ringer this past summer. He might be able to leverage other teams against the Clips and squeeze out a pick or Jordan. Donnie is the best thing to happen to this franchise, in an off-the-court sense, since we got the Ewing pick. Duke has that old school mafia swag and he's already got the league on notice.
