Notice the similarities yet?

Id love for a Knicks fan to tell me they wouldnt take this trade:

Rose and Gibson for Gallo, Chandler, and Douglus

I honestly wouldn't take that trade.

What? You didn't think we meant what we said when we said, "Rose is a weird fit next to Lebron"?

Mo Williams just said on First Take that Lebron will never "completely leave" Cleveland no matter what happens.

It is just crazy to me. If the bulls could use Rose in a S&T to land Bosh or Amare, they still wouldnt do it. Yet Knicks fans wouldnt give up Gallo.

What happens if Lebron doesnt come to NY? Lets say he stays in Cleveland, you still wouldnt take that trade?

I honestly don't like Rose much like you don't truly like Lee.

Hey, that's just my opinion. There are probably a few people here who WOULD take that trade.

Me? I'm not even that big on Gallo, but I think it's absolutely (Please Use More Appropriate Word) to give up him along with Chandler/Douglas (Two players I DO think have great potential).

And this is ALSO coming from someone who loves Rose's game, and actually wanted the Bulls to get Wade this year. I dunno. Maybe the Bulls trolls left a bad taste in my mouth. :lol:

One thing about us New Yorkers, are we are brutally honest, and non-delusional, with that said, we are just being honest, Rose isnt a good fit for Lebron, and Gallo just is in so many different ways, that has been discussed here already. For example David Lee was an allstar this year, but we still have our issues with him, he doesnt play Defense or box-out, hes a Knick, but we just keep it real, but no you Bulls fans treat Rose as the 2nd coming of.........

The Lakers have had multiple dynasties. Just like the Yankees. Players want to play there to be part of the great tradition of winning. They want to be part of the latest dynasty. Chicago has had ONE dynasty in almost 50 years. Jordan's. If you can't see the difference then I'm sorry.

Got to say that the Isiah thing got me. Forgot about him. But that was a pretty unique team and I don't see Rose equaling him.

I don't even know why we debate Bulls fans to be honest.

Look at their evidence. It's terrible. It's a hope and a prayer. I don't think the Knicks are a lock to get LeBron -- or even more likely than not -- it's 50-50 prolly. But we have plenty to go by. LeBron talked openly about joining the Knicks this summer. Has never said a word about the Bulls.

They have a mysterious phone call that Rose denied (twice), fake house shopping from LBJ, the ramblings of the biggest homer writer I've ever seen (McGraw), Broussard (no need to say more), and now Larry King senilely saying that they have "a big shot" (amongst a bunch of way-off-the-mark misstatements that show King should be put in a home, rather than someone to pin your NBA hopes on).

Give

me

a

break

I don't see a thing to base this on really. Except some people (media and Bulls fans) really wanting it to be true.

i was listening to Mo too, but it got broken up when he was saying it and they had to ask him to repeat

did anyone see caron butler on espn first take yesterday?

he was asked where he thinks lebron is going to go. he said he had no idea. Then less than 5 seconds later he said chicago, as if someone told him to say chicago through his ear piece.

Add it to the mounting "evidence" in favor of LeBron to Bulls.

Maybe Caron was convinced after he heard what Larry King had to say. Larry being an NBA expert and all.

Can anyone explain to me why Larry King still has a show? Every time someone I want to here speak is on I find myself changing the channel just because of how intolerably horrible Larry is as an interviewer.
