We got felton back, but they got Andre Miller. The were able to promote Affalo and his value rose in the absence of melo which enabled them to get Iggy whose value is not determined gaudy stats. They are three deep at center. Nothing great but three bodys and 18 fouls to give.
Gallo is not Melo, but he is talented. By resiging Nene and quickly realizing its mistake they get a project in Mcgee and promote Faried to start at the Power forward spot.
Moves that are related, but not exclusive to the trade.
I don't understand your reason to post other than to succome to sudden urge released by the spirit and praise all things Mooby.
Knicks 32-18
Denver 34-21
No clear cut winner here. Denver is dominant at home while knicks are currently in a bit of a tail spin at home. Season has a bit to go and its all ebb and flow. Western conf. is a bit tougher. You dmention the draft picks and as if we can just buy them anytime we want to. They draft one "david Lee" type player and either develope him as an asset to play or trade its a big deal. That could tip the balance.
I think the team good fortune was about getting Tyson,Novak as a good sub, getting JR Smith, and a coach better suited to this team. LIke Denver, not directly involved in the trade but related as well.
The record speaks louder than any comparisons.
Knicks made a great trade. In some fashion so did Denver.
Is the Trade better if Denver some how faulters? This is about the Knicks. If they can keep winning .600 ball then its a great trade.
What is the bench mark of success for this team if not a championship? If we make the ECF's and go down in 7 i'd say it was a good season and one of progress.
If Denver wins the championship does it tarnish the knicks acomplishment? Not really. A few somberites might bask in the glory but a core of Gallo-moz-wilson alone does not do that either here or in Denver. Its about the other moves. Same for knicks.
We beyond the trade now, but if you got Mooby Fever and there is no cure, then let the spirit rise and sing praise!
