we don’t walk on water. I’m looking forward to the playoff series where Gallo, Amare, and Carmelo win in 6.

Give credit where credit is due

This is the beginning of the Donnie Walsh era. We didn’t get “the prize”, but the world still turns and the knicks are still on their way to joining the elite. The base is there, we have our superstar, now thank God we can go about the business of filling out our roster. I sincerely believe Melo will be here by the end of next year, that Gallo will be sharpshooting the lights out, that TD will DWTDD, and that we won’t need a world beating PG to do it. This is gonna be a solid team. Lebron James isn’t the answer, chemistry, team defense and unselfish play is gonna bring the electricity back to the Garden

I can watch Azibuke, Randolph, Turiaf, Gallo, OneHungLo, WillChan, Toney Douglas…yea, I’m good.

Bring Ridnour too.

We’ll see the Heat in the playoffs. Knock the stuffin out that english muffin too Mrs. James

No

Was there ever a doubt on where Wade was going? And you can just slap a leash on Bosh. I am sure he’s a nice dude, but a complete cotton ball in the NBA. I don’t believe for a minute this was decided today. But it officially ends all truth to the Lebron “legacy” of being a student of the game, wanting rivalries, etc. But at least he came thru on the “returning old-fashioned hate” to the game. This was a total circus act and in the end, non-issue. Blessings to Cleveland, but truly money and fame trumps honor and commitment. Never put your eggs in one basket (case)

by screamedia on Jul 8, 2010 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

yea hes not at all a student of the game

NY is the home of basketball. And u can’t tell me he couldn’t win a ship in 3yrs wit him amare melo and gallo. Fukin sucka 4real. He has no legacy I will never refer to him as the best in the game. I hope his friends were the reason he chose miami so in 2 yrs wen he still don’t have a ship he’ll cry n say he wants to go sumwhere else fukin sucka

Like Kanye West said

That that that dont kill (us) only makes (us) stronger.

From this point forward only true fans will support this team, and only guys who want to be Knicks will play for us.

We will be united like Votron. Amar’e, Douglas, and Gallo will be the holy trinity of this team.

is it safe to say lebron will be booed at msg next year?

LeBron should be boo’d everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Even when he’s out to eat,watching a movie,walking the dog, whatever.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

There’s no way that LeBron and Dwayne mesh. It will just be an awkward duo that will let thousands down.

I would have respected him

More if he would have stayed with the Cavs he is a loser. He took the easy way out instead of being a man and becoming a leader. He will never be half the man Jordan was and even if he wins 15 championships players like Ewing, Barkley, Jordan, Malone, and Bryant will still be more of a Player than Lebron. If anything I feel sorry for the Cavs. That ok though we got Amare and hoepfully we will build a Championship team with him.

by A-Raj on Jul 8, 2010 11:19 PM EDT reply actions  

yea he lost a legacy

Such great talent but he diluted his legend. He’ll 4eva be known as the player who left his home to follow the easy route. I would’ve respected the clippers because he would’ve been the leader and he would’ve been the legend. But now if he wins one I’ll jus look at it as he ain’t earn it. fukin sucka

Well

He’s now the most hated player in the NBA…oh yea, and he’ll always have one ring less than Dwyane. Sweet.

But this unites us as a fanbase. We’ve been going through some interesting times here, and I’m glad to say that the Knick’s team is starting to look good. Not a powerhouse, but definitely a play-off contender. Add Melo and we’ve got ourselves a sick team.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

But I for damn sure hope the Knicks keep a board of the ESPNegative crack smack they’ve laid and continue to lay on the Knicks org. I hope this unites them as a core for the future. Check the tudes and personal agendas (stats, etc) at the door and commit to chemistry, teamwork, defense and winning at all cost. I’m ready for this season and ready to see some heart and ass-whooping. Time to shut up and put up

What the eff?

Man all of that just to say ‘I am going to Miami?" Lebron, you could have did it better than that. I don’t think it was Lebron’s idea to go to Miami. He’s talking about he can win a championship more easily in Miami? I don’t see the logic in that decision at all. More power to you bro. Hope it dosen’t work out.
