If Gallo is not good Walsh made a big mistake passing on Lopez who is a position player that brings exactly what we needed, toughness and defense. Gordon and Bayless would have also fit a need. With Chandler in the fold gallo's skills are a bit redundant. Would have been nice to put the following starting unit out there

Lopez
Lee
Chandler
Lebron
Nate

Lebron?

Yeah, exactly. Don't forget about the big picture.

big picture thinking would have had us dumping Zach & our lottery pick a few months ago in that rumored Philly deal for Reggie Evans & their #16 pick w/whom we could have easily picked up a talented big like JJ Hixson or Javale McGee... then talking about Lebron coming here woulda been a realistic proposition... right now there's no use thinking about Lebron cuz he's 100% not gonna be a Knick unless we dump some of these immovable contracts.

Come on TMS. I'm surprised at you man. You can be a little more opened minded, a little more creative then that. Sorry for sounding so rude, but I gotta wake you up man! Anything can happen from now until two years from now. IT CAN HAPPEN! It's not impossible.

Getting these big fat contracts close to ending will open up our options. By LeBron time it would be much, much easier to go for him, because we could offer to trade a guy like Zach to a team as an expiring contract and if need be, offer to pay half the salary if it means opening up our doors for LeBron. Dolan will have' to start taking something like that into consideration, because you, me, the fans, the franchise and Dolan would be completely stupid to let LeBron go by without a fight.

And it doesn't have to be LeBron either. There are others that could/would go for a big NY contract, that could make a huge difference of us knocking on the door in a few years from now. I tried to make the point about getting Kobe and I didn't give up on that for a long time and I feel the same way about getting a true star in this town, wearing the orange and blue. Is it LeBron? Who knows, but we can't just say it's not gonna happen, just because we can't right now doesn't mean we can't in two years. Keep an open mind dude. Believe!

We gotta bring the Knick fan back to life. The Knick fan has been buried under ground long enough. Believe!

Key key key key key point going forward is Gallinari has to be good. This team is going to be better--its made up of players who will do well in this system. But the question is is this another year like we had with Pitino where it didnt last? You look at the Nets and while they are young--they have a frontline of Lopez Boone Yi with devin harris in the backcourt as the new foundation. we have an assortment of guys that we are going to be relyingt on to be good who arent necessarily part of the long term plan. That is why this whole Gallinari thing has to end up swell. We have three guys Lee Nate and Chandler--that is the Knicks foundation--maybe throw collins in there as a good back up--after that I dont know if any of these players will be here after two years--so this draft pick HAS to be a serious player.

Im glad we are winning though--it seems like we have a team capable of getting to round 2 in the playoffs and winning 45 games but the fear here is the turnover with no guarantee of FA in 2 years.
