ITs not where teams and players have been but where they are going. The down knicks are not in it for the past but who they CAN be.

Gallo has not shown to be a big time player but his youth, skill set, and curve in the second half of the season has shown he could be a huge 3rd or 4th option. Also his handle and ability to drive will be very important as he might be the key in a second unit.

AMare in the Paint, Gallo on the parimeter and Lebron everywhere else his huge.

TD does not have to be a playmaker either, just bring the ball up and lock down who your guarding. Score 12 pts and we golden.

The Rooter is valuable.

Also the Roster with DLee could net you Carmelo. Denver would be crazy not to do this if presented.

Man I agree totally and I've been saying the same thing all week -- You're right on the money here Nal --- LeDrama's obviously the 1st choice and if he comes to join Amar'e WITH Gallo, Chandler, TD & Walker it's a homerun. Not having to give up any assets to get LeBron James = grandslam homerun...I'm with you there..If we indeed lose out on LeDrama however, immediately and I mean IMMEDIATELY call up Denver and offer them a resigned David Lee AND Danilo Gallinari for Melo. If they say no, F 'em, then maybe we get him for nada next summer but it's by far the best plan B out there right now and something the Nuggets may seriously consider (there's no trade scenario out there I'd rather utilize David Lee in than as part of a deal for Melo --- I'd almost rather let Lee walk than bring back Al Jefferson or Monta Ellis ...Look that package probably doesn't equal Melo in total value but it's a substantial package to offer them...A resigned all-star 20/10 PF in his prime (a guy that slides right in and takes over for the past-his-prime K-Mart who's expiring, leaving Nene/Birdman to man the middle) and a very young 6'11" hybrid forward in the Hedo Turkoglu mold with obvious potential -- with their solid backcourt depth, that would still be a solid team...Offer it up and let them turn that down...I suspect we never called up to make that exact offer (we probably haven't called up & offered anything for Melo at this point in fact), which is why all we're hearing now is that Denver is content to not trade Melo and wait it out, all season perhaps, to see if he signs that extention...I guess you gotta wait on LeDrama here and see what he does first ---- personally, I would've called Denver at some point and offered that package already just to gauge the reaction....Maybe the reason they're now saying they're not trading him is because they haven't gotten a substantial offer -- remember, what was it a couple of weeks ago -- a report surfaced that Denver would be open to trading him rather than losing him for nothing next year)....Lee/Gallo may not equal Melo but it's a substaintial offer..Hardly an embarrassing offer on the Knicks end I think -- you could have some good dialogue with them with an offer like that. It could lead to something..Offer it up and let the Nuggets chew on that for awhile..

We don't need to offer Denver Gallo. If Lebron doesn't sign with the Knicks, Melo will not be signing an extension. He would MUCH rather be the stud in NY with Amare than continue to lose in the Rockies. If Lebron doesn't sign, we will sign Melo next summer. He will like to have Gallo on the edges for the same reason it benefits Lebron (i.e., spread the floor, nail 3pters with regularity). Let's not switch to panic mode the second we get turned down.

Thankfully, Donnie is not a panic type of guy. That's why tomorrow we are going to find out that we won't be signing Melo. Because the King will begin his coronation in NYC!

I love Williams and wanted him in that draft. I think he's got good skills but the dude is a total retard. Gallo is more skilled and I think recognized around the league as a pretty solid up and coming player. Maybe not a star but certainly a guy who is going to be a big part of something.

All comes down to balance and if players compliment each other. Gallo has shown that he can be effective without the ball, and he will do well with James, who will be kicking the ball out a lot to him or Douglas. Don't know if it was MDA or Walsh who told James that all the moves they made and the players they picked up were made with LeBron in mind. Don't know if they were just throwing out the BS to James, but if you look at the guys they have drafted- even Hill- you can say that the guys they have acquired are all players who can fit together in a LeBron dominated system without cramping his style.

Think of him as a bigger N8, with a limited jump shot.

If he becomes better the Hedo was two years ago, then he will be a borderline All-star. I would be happy with that type of production.

Your posts about taking him would have been simply precious.

I really wish we had drafted Luke Harangody, who is tearing it up with the Celtics' SL team.

Your posts about taking him would have been simply precious.

You think the celtics are going back to their old ways with Harangody on the SL ? LOL

maybe they'll get balkman next
