Knicks had to take an unorthodox path to fill its roster needs.

I think Denver has a longer time horizon than the Knicks N*TPhobic conquest.

And does it really matter if the knicks are not that "Pure" in its roster construction?

This fantastic fable of "The older players with something to prove flocked to save the Mecca and return its fans to the lost glory so long a go!"

Who cares why, if you dig the team just enjoy it!

This notion that since we are 7-1 somehow validates everything and the arguments ensuing to substantiate its reality is really getting old. Just enjoy the games.

Two clubs took different paths.

Maybe its a "Win-Win?"

and if so, why is that so bad?

And for the Melo haters, Gallo was the center piece. He was the object of their affection.

Others want to add that Melo isn't an elite talent. Which is really laughable. They want to couch their criticisms in language like: he isn't a complete player. Newsflash there are like three two way stars better than Melo in the league. Lebron, Wade and Kobe and last I checked they were not available. Its stupid. A valid criticism, sure. A reason to undervalue his talent, not at all.

Watching the youngns was fun. It was a rollercoaster ride. We beat a few elite teams, but lost far more games to sub-par talent. I enjoyed the ride but never deluded myself into thinking the team was built to win it all. That team didn't have a chance in hell of beating Miami. This team has a much better chance to beat Miami, and that means we have a shot at the finals. Thats what you want from your team and finally, thats what we have. Denver doesn't have that. If you want to call that a win-win fine. BUt I'm not particularly concerned about the Knuggets.

good try nalod, but you are trying to apply logic in a sea of unreasonableness .... good luck..

Billups then turned into Chandler. Some ppl here think those role players only needed more role players to become a championship squad or want to lament about what other elite talent we couldve acquired with a similar or lessor package.
