but with that type of cap room, the knicks can re-tool big time...but what a waste of time discussing guys like gallo, chandler, hill and lee when all of them may be gone within 18 months...

Why do those guys have to go if we sign two max players? Gallo, Chandler and Lee are all complimentary players anyway and would fit perfectly next to a star player ot 2.

b/c next year...the knicks become win now...no time for developing young players.

Lee is already developed. Chandler is a 3rd year player and according to some here has already hit his ceiling and Gallo will be enerting his third year. The Cavs have a legit shot at winning it all with JJ Hickson at the 4.

Agree totally. If you want to get serious about trying to build a Championship team you have to go all the way on it and move unproven talent to have a chance at proven talent. I like Hill, but for us, the chance to be able to land two big talents makes it a no brainer for me. You never know what a difference it makes when you can say to a Wade, hey I know you don't love NY, but just imagine playing here with Bosh! That's the kind of thing that changes the equation. Even Bosh would have to admit that at team with those two at the core is better than what he has in Toronto.

How do you think it would impact Lebron to have the chance to play with Bosh as his bigman sidekick? It just changes the equation.

agree very much on this one. if tyrus is out there to take a look at and re-sign on the cheap, i'd LOVE to take a flier on him.

this isn't just Jordan Hill that's being thrown into this deal, you're talking about adding a future 1st round pick and exchanging draft positioning in 2011, which unless we're getting some big time star players this offseason will most likely end up being yet another lottery pick we throw away... so in essence you're talking about 3 potential lottery picks in exchange just for the cap space to sign players who we don't even know if they'd want to come here in the first place... that's a pretty irresponsible risk to take... i'm all for dumping Fishlips' contract & would include a future pick to do so, but adding in 2 other young assets on top of it is just stupid regardless of how much cap space it gives us this summer.
