Landry shouldve been traded... i remember he was deemed UNTOUCHABLE... what a joke, SG that couldnt shoot

He was shooting well at the time, had won a rookie of the month award, and was on a cheap 2nd round draft pick contract.

Remember that jordan hill guy (plus picks) we traded for a sample of mcgrady, hes averaging 8 & 7 in 17 mins this season.
Just sayin.....we drafted him

Now and in the future.

Faried is an undersized power forward who cant hit a jumper and defense is just as bad as Melo. No thanks.

Can he get better? sure...but for a team, like the Knicks, who like to shoot and spread the floor, Faried would be a bad addition. The only way I would like this trade is if Denver gave us our 2014 pick back.

In a nutshell, like Lin, Shumpert cannot grow because of the team "star" in Melo. He cannot share the spotlight. He will opt out to get his $$ rather than letting the team get better around him. He will push for good talent to leave (ala LIN), so that he is the MAN. In Miami, the stars all took less to make the team better.

This team will not win the ring with Melo as the MAIN star. They will not win with Dolan making basketball decisions of ANY kind. Dolan does not like Shumpert for some stupid reason so the Knicks will lose their 2nd promising young player because the owner's feelings are hurt! How will he feel when Melo does not give him a hometown discount and still ask for $30M per year? I hope he will get smart and let him walk, or better yet, TRADE HIS ASS before that, so at least they get something in return. The problem is, what team would want Melo? Lakers? They can have him. I wonder if MDA has enough bad Karma for that to happen? That would be hilarious! We cannot be so lucky.

As for Denver wanting a pick too, i say WTF???? How about we get the pick? Faried is a better rebounding version of Renaldo Balkman! Go get him or some other FA that can rebound and defend a little? There has to be someone out there better than Chris "worse summer player in league history" Smith!

From what I hear Denver is looking for a draft pick also. When is the knicks management going to stand up and tell Denver to Kiss our azz. If Dolan wants to be mad at someone he needs to be mad at Denver on how they fleeced us in the last trade for Melo and now they want to do it again?? To hell with Denver don't do the deal. Don't do the deal. Dolan is an azz hole and if he don't change his ways people will be marching to Brooklyn. I won't because I'm a homer. But those young dudes wont think twice. All I can do is continue to root for my team like I've done for over 55 years.
