Hahn, Adamek on Carmelo Anthony

Why wait and risk losing him altogether? Gallo at his pinnacle probably won’t be as good as Melo will be for the next 5-6 years. This is a no brainer.

Yes, I would love to have my cake and eat it too and keep everybody. But thats a risky proposition if you can get Melo now vs not getting him later and Gallo not developing the way we thought.

Yeah, if we had inside info which strongly suggests he wants to come here, then wait. But barring that, pull the trigger now.

if this were to acctually happen, even they gave away our cock =[

Melo and Stat this season would be great! C Ya Gallo. As exciting our current squad is… its not a championship contender. Donnie has done a tremendous job acquiring assets so we can make a move such as this. Melo and Stat would be a great 1-2 tandem of what should have been with Patrick Ewing and Bernard King of the the old days…I don’t care what ESPN says about the kind of player Carmelo is and worth…. I don’t give a damn. Carmelo is a special talent. A guy that has brought his team to the playoffs every year since he has been in this league. For all of you who did not want to see David Lee go (As well as myself) but the fact is with Amare, The knicks has become a destination. With Melo it will be even more.

No one on here wanted the cp3 trades to go through because we all said melo will fit better in the system.

Now we can get melo and you don’t want to get a top 10 player in the league because we don’t want to give up what might be a white rashard lewis at his absolute best.

We got this sick freakishly athletic lamar odom type dude who would mesh better with melo than having another high volume shooter like that white rashard lewis dude, but we don’t want to keep him.

I’m just making sure we’re all on the same page.

Also, we get melo we win 50+ games this year…

Ya dig?

Then let’s play some games. Let’s see how good our guys are (or aren’t). Let’s see how they respond to MDA’s system, which has a history of having middle-of-the-road players deliver spectacular results. Everybody’s trade value goes up if the Knicks win, so a deal that might cost us Gallinari in August might be possible with Chandler in January.

Let’s admit the truth: we’re bored, and at the same time we’re excited, which might explain Seth’s preoccupation with our genitals. Let’s stop this speculation… although… the fantasy that we can get Melo without giving up Gallo, which would mean a lineup of Felton, Melo, Gallo, Amare, and Timmah / Ronny / Jerome / etc is slightly beyond intoxicating, moving dangerously close to the realm of spank bank worthy excitement. Uhm, in a manly way.

Still… Let’s win some games. If necessary, let’s discuss this in February at the trading deadline.

Until then… just throwing it out there… could AR start at SG?

I.e., a starting line-up of Felton, AR, Gallo, Amare, SeveralTallDudes? Just because AR is tall doesn’t mean he MUST play inside, and we’d have a huge mismatch every night at the 2. Strong team defensively, really strong offensively, as long as either Gallo or AR has a decent handle, or the other team doesn’t press..

I digress. Would dearly love to have Melo, but not before the season opens. And I doubt Den will consider trading him much before Feb.

He took that game over, right in Melo’s face.

I’d trade anyone but Gallo for Melo.

because with teams having to guard melo and amare
gallo will be getting all the open 3s in the world
and he would be hitting them
while randolph is not much of a shooter

What may be happening is that Melo is becoming impatient and wants his jump off now. Reasons: (a) CBA expiring; (b) no time like the present; © attention span of 7 seconds or less.

Denver (and Melo himself) may be so anxious-another reason to lie in wait. And with all the time we have waited for a good team, why match their impatience and give up ANY chips (AR, Gallo, etc.) easily? And why do I think the same thing is happening in NO with CP3? Change “build it and they will come” to “tear down (and hoard cap space) and they will come”.

I don’t know what to believe any more, but i’m going to stop getting excited and depressed about all these rumors. Its a roller coaster ride. Twice was enough with Lebron and CP3…. Can’t take it any more! Basically the only time i’ll get excited about a rumor is when the player is actually in Blue and Orange. SI just reported that Melo would be open to approve a sign and trade to either Houston or Nets, while NY being the first option. If this is the case, then you can kiss Melo and eventually CP3 to ever come play in NY. IMO Most likely, CP3 would go where ever Melo is going. Melo will be important for those of you who wish to have CP3. My point is folks.. Gallo or Whom ever Denver wants…. The Knicks have to get this done. The current squade will not be enough to battle with the likes of Miami, Chicago and Boston. If we don’t get this done and Melo gets traded to a team on his list, Then we would not have to wait next year because Melo won’t be available for free agency and we will have missed the boat entirely for good for Melo and CP3. The only new guy will be Tony Parker. He will be great to have but with a squad of Parker, Chandler, Gallo, Stat and AR will not bring the Knicks to the promise land. They will certainly be entertaining and i could be happy with that. My message to Melo is…. If you want to be a Knick and have leverage.. Don’t expand your list and keep it simple with NY. If Denver won’t trade you this year…Please try and play it out for next season. Eventually you can come back home.

…compared to Melo. Do it! Do it now! Donny will figure out CP3 when the time comes. In this case a cock in the hand is definitely worth less than the two in the bush.

and form Super Team 1A? Am I naive to think this is possible?
If Melo comes to the Knicks will there be a section at the Garden for his friends and family called “Lala Land?”
If Turiaf goes as part of the deal does this make Timah Moskowtz the luckiest big dude in the NBA?
Important decisions will have to be made before Isiah returns.
We have work to do my friends.

If the knicks can get this done giving up Chandler I’d jump at it.

If its Gallinari.. I’d think about it but would still do it.

Other than the fact that I believe Gallinari is the player with the bigger upside there is also this:

Reason being D’antoni’s system will need some spot up shooters on the perimeter and Gallinari fills that role much better than Chandler.

Also since the knicks really do not have a true starting 2 that i like (sorry Azubuike and Mason.. I’d have to see you play more to change my mind) … I could get used to the idea idea of having a 6’10 shooter over a 6’8 slasher playing the 2 alongside Anthony on the wing and Stoudemire in the post.

But ultimately the reason I would give either of them up is that they are both suited to play the 3 which is where Anthony would get most of the minutes anyway. But possibly one can play the 2 and the other the 3.

As they say a wing is a wing so maybe they can coexist…ask Curry he eats both (sorry.. obligatory Curry joke.)

Get cmello way more then LeBron i want mello on knicks ive loved mello ever since he spinned up lbj but dont rid of gallo i see gallo and mello and stoudy wearing championship rings some day wait till free agency
