At this point, Uriji's resume has "Raped NY Knicks for future firsts" in bold italics in section one.

Bargnani is terrible at motivation and work ethic, he's bad in help defense.

Chandler can help him in help defense, and you know that if he doesnt work his butt off he wont play, he's motivation should rise playing in a PO team I hope.

They're eating the extra year in Novak's deal though. That $3.75 million salary was likely going to be harder to move any later than this summer. Considering how much of a capologist and CBA expert Grunnie is, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he thought long and hard before making this move.


Or Dolan read the newspaper headline about the Brooklyn Celtics, picked up the phone and screamed at Grunnie to do something so he won't get laughed at by the other millionaire kids in school.

Only on a Knicks forum does posters try to make a horrid 3 point shooting, terrible defending & rebounding player seem ok.

This board has lost their fu*king minds.

Not thrilled about the 1st rounder, but we had to make a move.

This seems like a move that's made when there is another shoe that's about to drop.

We're committed to Melo playing that spot on the floor. So let's get the best weapons our sh*tty assets can attain.

We weren't going to get Dwight for Novak and Camby

Bargnani will definitely be better in NY than he was in Toronto the last couple of years (barring injury, of course). If he's healthy, I think he'll be a great option for the Knicks on the offence. If this deal goes down, hopefully someone in the coaching staff can motivate him.

I think it's a win-win deal for both teams.


LOL ur a mod? how would barf be better in NY than TOR?
Barf was the first or second option in the first unit last couple of seasons. He was the 'go-to' guy in offense. He was allowed to take as many freakin 3's as he wanted in TOR. After his injury, he was changed to a role player who came off the bench and guess what...he still SUCKED.
How the hell would he be better in the knicks if hes playing with melo, chandler, felton, amare?
