Greetings Nuggets Fans

[Ignitowsky]

Knicks fane here. The Nuggets have now become my second favorite team and I expect to be watching all of their games. I just wanted to stop by and give you guys my take on the players that you're getting and also to wish you all good luck.

Gallo- you're going to love the kid, but he's going to make you crazy. He'll look unstoppable for entire quarters, then disappear entirely. He's started going to the basket much more recently, so expect some really explosive drives and dunks. He's obviously a very good 3 point shooter, but has almost no mid range game, or at least doesn't use it very often. He's got a great motor, but isn't the best defender in the league. We've always felt he should be a better rebounder for his size, but that might have been a product of the SSOL system. He's a very likable and personable kid, at least publicly. He's just now really just finishing his second year, as his first year was pretty much a waste because of his back injury. Most Knicks fans were really sorry to see him leave

Chandler- another great kid, in fact, all 4 of them are. Wilson is the iceman. If you look at his face you won't be able to tell if he just hit a game winning 3 or he just heard that he got traded. He has a great all around game, but like Gallo, tends to disappear for stretches of games. Maybe he just deferred too much and will do less of that with oyu guys. He has 3 point range and won't hurt you at all when he has the ball in his hands. He's a good rebounder and a very good athlete.

Felton- Huge heart. Has made great strides this season. That's probably a result of being out from under Larry brown's thumb and play for D'Antoni. He can knock down the 3, and can take the ball to the basket. He tends not to make the best decisions in transition, and often forces the ball into a crowd. He's a baller though, and has a huge heart. He'll play on crutches if he needed to. Gotta love Ray.

Mozgov- This kid is going to be special, but it may take a couple of years. He's VERY athletic for a kid who is 7'1", has a decent jumper, and will block some shots. He's cut down a lot on stupid fouls, which was a big problem for him early in the season. I think his confidence is easily shaken, and he might be a little lost for a while. The upside in that regard is he is very close with Gallo, which should help. his game has improved a lot over the couse of this season, and I think he hasb't come even close to approaching his ceiling.

just to sum up, you guys did a hell of a lot better than Cleveland or Toronto did when they lost their star players. All 4 of the guys you got probably have the potential to make an all star team at some point, and Gallo and Mozgov in particular haven't come close to peaking yet. Ray has maybe peaked, , and it's hard to tell with Wilson. He's shown steady improvement each year, so that curve may be flattening out.

Anyway, good luck to you guys. You're going to see a lot of knicks fans here i think. It was tough losing those guys.

Good post. I think we both have a new 2nd favorite team by default

I hate the Nuggets for making us trade all of our assets. But i will be tuning in to watch our ex-players. I really wish we could have kept Mozgov or at least traded Brewer to Denver with Mozgov and kept Gallo.

Cant do nothing about it now. You guys will love Gallo's Team first attitute. And his smile, he is always smiling. Breathe of fresh air from an NBA player. You can tell he loves the game of basketball. I'm going to miss him a lot. Chandler too, he has so much ability and has improved every year he's played in the NBA.

I am just as intrigued about the guy in your avi as I am Gallinari.

It is kind of crazy about our two teams, neither fan base had anything to do with anything that went on, yet they went back and forth at odds month after month with each side hoping that the other sides team would struggle and lose. Now that everything is said and done most of the fans from each team would now like to see the other team do well because of the magnitude of players that changed uniforms. I know I want to see Billups get another run in the playoffs even if it isn't with the squad I follow.

I hope that you realize that the Nuggets didn't make the Knicks trade anything, they chose to trade them thinking that they were getting a better return on their investment. The Knicks had the option of keeping what they had all along.
