I don't buy the OKC comparison because not one of the three young on the Knicks has the ability of Durant you can't put any of the players that we have in that class. 36 wins is the least I expect from this team if things break in the right direction then maybe you get close to 40-42 wins. It isn't an insult this is the Knicks you have to remember that and if recent past is any indication they find a way to disappoint. We should curb our enthusiasm a bit.
some guys rail all day long about how we don't have anyone like Durant & Melo & yet aren't willing to give up jack to trade for players like that if the opportunity arises... they'd rather target unproven career backup scrubs who haven't done squat in the NBA like Rudy Fernandez or Earl Barron... go figure.
Melo isn't in Durants league. He's not a superstar.
considering Melo only averages 1 less ppg & the same rpg over his career, i have no idea how u can possibly make that statement... it's not like Durant is some All NBA defensive player either.
Durant is absolutely an all nba defensive player. he's one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. if melo played defense like durant, melo would have gotten past the lakers and probably won a ring in 2009.
He's not in the same class at all.
Giving up AR and Gallo for Melo is just stupid.
also, the nuggets have no interest in gallo, can we please stop even mentioning him?

@JonRothstein: Was just told by an #NBA GM that the #Nuggets have no interest in #Knicks forward Danilo Gallinari in a trade for Carmelo Anthony
