Go ahead and deliberate at the round table to discuss

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami-dade/breaking-news/story/886030.html
Last week Dwyane Wade said it was possible that he could become teammates with LeBron James and he explained his thinking further on Tuesday.

"Is it a possibility me and LeBron will play together? It's always a possibility," Wade said after the Heat's practice Tuesday. "We're both free agents. Is it a possibility I'm going to New York? That's not a possibility in my mind."

Wade took exception on how the story was portrayed in the New York Post.

"Everybody puts their quotes where they want to put them [but], you know what you say," Wade said. "I understand how things get twisted. I just laugh at it and keep going."

Tell you the truth I want the Knicks to resign everyone and get a real shooting guard and a center.

I don't wanna be nobody's bitch you know? Fuck Wade...he's made it known he wants to stay in Miami....he don't need NY cuz he's his own state we got that...

Lebron has more class than Wade. Lebron might end up resigning in Cleveland....truthfully **** both of them. The idea is to get under the cap to get a good player....fine...but Donnie needs to find a center and real shooting guard now. I wanna beat these potto's first before they come looking for money. In fact I hope the Knicks don't get any of the names mentioned. I hope they get the bottom of the pack free agents that year and win it all without them.

Knicks are a group of rejects as is and can compete with anyone...Jared Jefferies is the starting center for the love of christ. Donnie needs to wake up and grow the Knicks another ball to play with.

The more I think of it, the more I realize Dwayne Wade is kind of an idiot.

How smart would it have been if Wade said "yes, NY is a possibility"? I'm sure the Heat would love him talking about playing for another team a year before his contract expires.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I've come to the conclusion that Gall/True has never actually been a fan of the Knicks.

Ever notice when certain "haters" leave boards, even though many found them irritating, even their opponents often want them back? I experienced that for myself on RealGM, and we saw it here with Islesfan. But has anyone ever wished Gall back? I haven't seen it.

The difference is that a Knicks fan who is a hater has issues with Knicks management. He resents they way the team that he loves is operated or conducts itself, and he wants to get management's goat. But Gall seems to have issues with Knicks fans themselves for actually being fans of the Knicks. His issue isn't with management, his entire M.O. is to scorn anyone who has any aspirations for the Knicks to be successful in anyway.

The tipoff is when a fan gets what he demands and he's still nowhere close to satisfied. Many of us (Gall included) demanded that management be changed, that the soul suckers on the team be expunged, that competent and proven management and coaching be installed, that we dump salary and make ourselves viable players in the coming FA bonanza, etc, and we've gotten ALL those things, but Gall still laughs at anyone who is pleased or hopeful.

I'm the last guy to get giddy about mediocrity, and have a pretty high tolerance for hate, but jeeze, we're 6 months removed from Isiah/Marbury running the show. We've exiled Marbury, dumped Zach and Craw, benched Eddy and replaced Isiah with Walsh/D'Antoni. These are huge changes in short time. Take some solace in getting what you wished for.

When we're amassing gargantuan payroll he argues we should be clearing payroll for FA's, but when we actually do so he does nothing but tell us how foolish it is because guys like Wade and LeBron will never come. 2 years ago he was infatuated with coaches D'Antoni and Nelson, but when we get D'Antoni he's sure we've committed another GALLing and SHAMEful act.

I don't know, there are lots of people here who don't like Walsh, or D', or our lack of defense, or Gallo at #6, or our chances at landing a superstar, etc, but there is something that distinguishes Gall from the rest. Putting aside his inexplicable penchant for user names that relate to mine, look at his others:

1. Moronze
2. Gall of Shame.

He will claim otherwise, but IMO they refer to fans of the Knicks. The Knicks are so shameful that anyone who is a fan of them is a moron. This is why he gets under people's skin so much. And unlike hatters like myself or Isles, he has no prior history he can point to when he was a proud fan. (I mean posts on a message board). He arrived (presumably from the Bulls boards) with the expressed and singular intent to disgrace the Knicks - and their fans.

It goes deeper than being upset with management, he all about his "LOLs" which, as often as not, are directed at posters themselves for thinking any good might come of any strategy. He's a self assigned professional gadfly.

Even when he aligns himself with (or piggybacks upon) fellow hatters, like myself or Islesfan, his intent is to one-up them. Like constantly pointing out to me where he said something before I did, or competing with Isles for most hated poster. It's just one act of know-it-all one-up-manship after another.

It's a shame because he's highly informed and intelligent, and he even has a good disposition, but when his entire MO is to pimp himself as an unpleasable know-it-all committed to nothing but shaming the Knicks and their fans, the schtick gets old fast.

How can you forget the great nicknames like D'Antonio Sabbato Jr. and Donnie Washed Up?

BTW, don't expect any response from the "Gall". He avoids any mention of the fact he is really TrueBlue. The sad thing is that he was "happy" to get banned and didn't want to return here. At least if you're going to come back, make it a little less obvious. Like for example, stop using the corny nicknames for players, coaches, management and whatever else.

Go ahead and deliberate at the round table to discuss

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami-dade/breaking-news/story/886030.html
Last week Dwyane Wade said it was possible that he could become teammates with LeBron James and he explained his thinking further on Tuesday.

"Is it a possibility me and LeBron will play together? It's always a possibility," Wade said after the Heat's practice Tuesday. "We're both free agents. Is it a possibility I'm going to New York? That's not a possibility in my mind."

Wade took exception on how the story was portrayed in the New York Post.

"Everybody puts their quotes where they want to put them [but], you know what you say," Wade said. "I understand how things get twisted. I just laugh at it and keep going."

What are you happy about? He can't say he's coming here while under contract. It's a nothing article. Besides:
INDIANAPOLIS - Dwyane Wade acknowledged last night "it's not crazy" to speculate that he and LeBron James could tag-team their way to the Big Apple as free agents in 2010.

Wade, following the Heat's loss to the Pacers, told The Post he and James could join forces in 2010, with the Knicks not out of the question. Wade indicated they have talked about the potential scenario, and both played for Mike D'Antoni last summer while winning a gold medal at the Olympics.

"It's not crazy," Wade told The Post in the visitor's locker room of Indiana's Conseco Fieldhouse. "It could happen. We both understand that. We both signed the same contract. We did it together. More than anything, it's fun to think about. It's exciting to know we both control our future. Will it happen? Who knows. He has some something he's trying to accomplish in Cleveland. I have something I'm trying to accomplish in Miami. But up until 2010, it will be fun to think about."

Link

So temper your enthusiasm hoping Walsh screws up so you can "I told you so I'm so smart!" an internet forum.

I also missed the part where it was already late summer 2010 and we struck out on any solid free agents. I also missed the part where ZachAss and Crawful were leading us to the promised land. We got rid of two idiots and gave ourselves flexibility for a very good free agent market year.

Can't quite see what there is to hate but I know you'll try because that is what you do. You might want to stick to RealGM where there are plenty of idiots who will agree with you and fall for your gimmick as opposed to a forum that has a large percentage of intelligent fans.

Greek, you don't need to keep making the association, he's not denying he's TrueBlue.

I don't get why he found his banishment worthy of putting in his realgm profile, but if its so important to him he could have at least spelled Martin's (not Matin) name right.

great post, and the bolded part sums him up perfectly.. Gall or True is a good poster, when he wants to be.. He knows I despise this schtick he uses because he is better than that. or should be..

Another great point you made is this:
The difference is that a Knicks fan who is a hater has issues with Knicks management. He resents they way the team that he loves is operated or conducts itself, and he wants to get management's goat. But Gall seems to have issues with Knicks fans themselves for actually being fans of the Knicks.

The tipoff is when a fan gets what he demands and he's still nowhere close to satisfied.

he and another poster on real gm, actually a few others are exaclty like this. I can understand hate for management, but they seem to get irked at fans who root for the team, current management , and who show any sign of rooting for this team. They label the fans as homers, and accuse them of accepting mediocrity, not wanting to win, and not being able to discern what real improvement is. I find that kind of behavior unacceptable and just downright condescending.. Yet, go back and look, as you said.. give them what they want, and they are still not happy...

Now it's one thing if you are not happy, but another if you are intent on making fans unhappy, because you are miserable.. I likened the situation to watching a movie at a theater filled with 100 movie goers. You hate the movie, so you boo and talk through the whole movie, and mock anyone who doesn't share your sentiment. Instead of getting up, taking your stale popcorn and coke and leaving, you are intent on ruining it for other... I call that toxic behavior...

Gall of fame knows better...

Why was this post necessary, done this way? Do fans of a team really wish bad things to happen, so that they are proven right? Many of times I have watched these posters laugh at the knicks when players make such comments, I just don't get it....

LOL. Well I haven't seen him confront my posts about him being TB either. Maybe he did admit it somewhere else, I don't know. Or maybe he's just posting in his usual style and doesn't care.

Either way, he still wont respond to your post because once you call him out on anything, he literally disappears. In the last game thread I called him out on his negativity and he never responded to it. He kept quoting others.

He didn't come out and say he's True, but he's responded to me about conversations we had back before he was banned.

I don't think he cares that we know, so long as hsi presence here is okay with Martin and Andrew.

And back to the topic (I don't care about GalloFame/TrueBlue even a little bit).
I don' want Knicks to became Lebron or Wade team.
But I will have no problem with leBron to be a Knick.
This is not the same thing.
And I don't think player like Wade, and Kobe for this matter can became a part of something.
They want team to be their launcher to personal success.
I think LeBron and Bosh are better that this. But you never know.
I want a superstar to come to NY to be a part of team success, to build the Dynasty the NY-way.
Lakers were like this during their last run before Kobe made them Kobe team and all went south.

Wade cannot say he wants to play in NY. He is smart to just say what he did and let it all fall as it may. By saying NO NY, but he wants to play with Lebron he is saying without getting into trouble that he wants Lebron in Miami.

Wade when healthy is a great player.

BUt in two years we'll have Gallo's cricks all worked out and standing tall!

Where did you get Gall of Shame name from? While we're being technical. It's right in front of your eyes just like Martin was for me.
