A Rant Thread

we are of grate team man

[franchize]

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions or being too critical or being too hasty but am I the only one that gets the feeling that Walsh isn't working hard enough to get things done?I mean the Melo thing obviously is a tricky situation.The Nets have thrown everyone at them and it hasn't gone down.I don't think Walsh was aggressive enough BUT I'm not necessarily referring to that because there are so many nuances and ppl to please in that deal.But c'mon...The Minnesota deal?...A first rounder and a backup pg who is very capable for a player who doesn't get burn on your team?Telfair is even talking buyout because he's been playing fairly well in limited minutes but can't catch break.I'm sure Minnesota,who's overloaded with PG's on their roster,would deal him in a heartbeat.AND they've reportedly been willing to give up the 1st but Walsh is hesitant to trade Randolph.Also.I dont know why we didnt re-sign Barron to begin with but we didnt.He play really well for us last year.He got cut by PHX who were overloaded with Centers.Why the hell isn't he a NY Knick?Why the hell hasn't Walsh @ least addressed our backup needs.Why can't we @ least bring in Rafer Alston for a workout?Or Sundiata Gaines?Or Earl Barron? C'mon.I don't like what I'm seeing from our GM.Not the Melo deal.The little stuff that won't effect our cap,remove any major contributors from our team or cause a shake-up in our team chemistry....it's simply not getting done.I get the sense that our early success has cause some complacency within our organization and fan base and we're destined to be a team stuck with D'Antoni long term,with Amare looking for help and us waiting around for Gallo to become Dirk.

^ What is the Minnesota deal??

[knickscity]

I agree and have posted this in another thread prior to reading this one.

The Minny deal was AR for a pick AND possibly Telfair, but definitely a pick, probably their own.

Walsh isn't sure he will do it.

The other deal is Mayo. "Sources" claim he wants the Knicks.

Walsh denies they have talked, yet "sources" in the Knicks front office say they have.

Let's face it, AR is not gonna play here. Somehow he doesn't fit, if that's imaginable.

Then trade him already, since Minny seems willing to do it.

If it's Minny's own pick, it will be high enough to satisfy Denver.

There are protections on that pick though from a Clippers trade they did some time ago.

So let's see if this deal were to happen.......

Knicks trade AR to Minny for Telfair and Minny's 2011 1st, or whoever's it is, then.....

Denver trade Melo to the Knicks for........

Gallo, Fields, Curry, Walker, Minny's 2011 1st, Knicks 2014 1st.

Grizzlies trade OJ for JR

Not sure how the grizzlies deal could pan out, since it would have to be more from the Grizzlies side to make it work.

But either way Walsh needs to go get the pick first before anything can happen.

edit: How did I skip the obvious.

Did you mean NOT gonna play here and Trade him already?


From the multiple reports I've read the rumors regarding Knicks transactions are:

Randolph for Telfair and a 1st

Melo to the Knicks,Mayo to the Nuggets (despite him clamoring that he wants to be a Knick) and JR Smith to Grizzlies.I haven't heard who and what We have to give up yet.I'm thinking about joining twitter JUST to follow Broussard lol.

I did mean "not", good catch.

I just think Melo needs to open his mouth all the way.

Say what you want playboy.

If it's the Knicks, say "Knicks or no extension for anyone else, I will be going to free agency to test my options."

That will make Denver deal with us.

Mayo for JR would be nice for both teams.

I still say Donnie needs to get that damn pick already.

I'm not joining twitter, I can read it without joining.

[NY-Knicks]

I was just thinking. And why the f-ck didn't we draft Eric Gordon instead of Gallo. I wanted it back then and still want it up until this very day.

23.6 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals shooting .455 from the field and .324 from downtown.

Raymond Felton
Eric Gordon
Landry Fields
Wilson Chandler
Amar'e Stoudemire

If only we would have drafted Eric Gordon.

[franchize]

We knew we were gonna draft Gallo from jump.I don't think we even honestly considered anyone else.D'Antoni and Gallo's dad were former teammates I believe.He plays that Euro style of basketball D'Antoni loves.It really was the ideal fit for Mike.Plus,in all fairness,Gordon is a tweener and theres always risk when drafting those guys.Case in point:Toney Douglas.Cant do anything about it now.That being said,up until this year,there are people that would have crucified you if you woulda said you'd trade Gallo for Gordon.In fact Im sure there still are people that would say no.

Jared Jeffries is such a bum

That is all!

[earlofupstate]

Jared Jeffries is such a bum
That is all!

What? Last night he was taking charges, didn't do so well with trying to dunk, but, that last second attempt by Memphis he knocked the ball away.

[franchize]

Gimme a break with the charges.The guy gets over 20 minutes a game.He isn't drawing 10-15 charges.If you get on a basketball court and play over 20 minutes and your contribution is drawing 1 or 2 charges,you suck!We could have Battier play Center if thats the case.Turiaf and Shelden Williams can draw chares too.Williams went to Puke...thats all they do.

BTW Yall see Kemba today? UCONN BABY!

Ah WTH

[knickscity]

Talk about cold blooded.

The Portland TrailBlazers has seriously entertained the idea of asking Brandon Roy to retire.

The need to fire their medical staff, is what they need to do.

But yeah, Roy should tell them to screw themselves and buy him out.

I know the guys knees are gone, but he can still play.

He sure as hell would help us.

[Scoooter]

I don't want him.

[knickscity]

I don't want him.

Why not, if he was bought out?
