As for Miami...I don't think players like Pat Riley at all. Not even Wade Likes him.

There is only one destination NYK and I laugh at the media trying to ignore them.

LOL you just said Chicago is horrible but "ONLY" 11 games better than NY? Derrick Rose, Deng, Noah is better than any trash on the Cavs (Mo Williams, Jamison, AV)

Talk with some logic at least....oh and the MJ Shadow excuse? Its old

Have you seen all of the Joe Johnson BS swirling out there. Our beat writers are actively campaigning for him - and one of our insiders has reported for weeks that Johnson is going to the Bulls and has told teammates. Its unbelieveable.

Well I appreciate that you're underplaying it and not counting chickens, but you're in great shape now. Driver's seat it appears.

Just as a moment of fantasy for us Knicks fans, it'd be great if LeBron and Bosh come to the Knicks and Chicago gets Johnson and Boozer.

That'd be a helluva rivalry.

Assuming we can deal Okafor for Curry.

How about this:

Okafor - Noah
Bosh - Boozer/Amare
Gallo - Deng
LeBron - Johnson
Douglas - Rose

Wow! One can dream. Those would be epic, epic battles. The Knicks and Bulls would own the league.

Ahhhh. Harmony. But you have to admit, it'd be very cool.

Yeah I'm sure they would rather play 41 games in MSG because it's such a great arena. That sure reeled in other FA's recently...

^at this rate, our best bet will be boozer, rudy gay, and *gasp* hobson :roll:

Thats not what im saying. See, i dont think it plays a factor to these free agents... but it is very different then other arenas... i have been to 10 other basketball arenas/cities... just not the same.

LA is the only city/arena that had a unique feeling... almost a sense of entitlement..was awesome.

Just gandered at those matchup comparisons and I honestly am not sure who'd win. Knicks would have the weakest starter with Toney. It may come down to Gallo-Deng.

Okafor - Noah // Edge Bulls
Bosh - Boozer/Amare // Edge Knicks
Gallo - Deng // Depends on trajectories
LeBron - Johnson // Big Edge Knicks
Douglas - Rose // Big Edge Bulls

Could it be that this (or maybe the reverse) is something that has already been talked about and/or planned?

GaLLo4THrEE · Post #311 » by **GaLLo4THrEE** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 9:36 pm

hows the Jordan Hill and two 1st round draft picks (one swap) looking now?

Its crazy how the Knicks traded 2 picks and a 8th overall pick rookie just to shed jared jeffries 1 year 6.5 mill salary while the Bulls trade a 17th pick to shed kirk hinrich at 18 mill. the man is garbage 10 ppg on 40% fg

teams a mess....theyll prob get gil arenas and his contract will kill this team like marbury

the cycle starts again

What cap space did we have to reel in other FA's anyway?

What is plan B ends up being CP3, Ok4 and Melo? And the Knicks still end have Gallo and perhaps Chandler?

Hey knicks fans, I'm a laker fan here(still nostalgic over the events of last week) and i can feel your guys' pain. From 2005 to 2008 it was so tough to be a laker fan. Although i NEVER, EVER thought of quitting on the team(and those decisions payed off immensely), it was just so painful to watch my team. From the Drama of kobe in the summer of 07, to the 1st round exits(06 being the most painful as we blew the 3-1 lead) against phoenix, to the god awful team that we had(sans kobe), I've been through just about the same pain as you knick fans(although knick fans have been through this longer). Then in 08, we got Pau Gasol, and every second since then, it's just been....a joyride. It's just been so good to get rid of those memories of the pain years and now, i've witnessed two, VERY satisfying championships. It's been nostalgia just like the 3 peat years.

Anyway, my message to knick fans, keep your heads up guys. I know things may look bleak, I know it seems like there is no "light at the end of the tunnel", but I good things come to people who are patient. Wish all the best for you guys, hoping you guys get the players you need to rise back to the nba elites, and hopefully, some day, we see another epic knicks vs lakers matchup.

benigno is hideous, his entire life he expected the worst.

he's immune to dissapointed, when letravel signs with the bulls benigno would say 'HA, that's all you got??" and then go on a 5 hour story of failure's the mets, rangers, and jets had and how he lived through it.

That's been my stance since we traded Jeffries. I even have youtube video proof of this. This stuff wouldn't hurt as much if we had our own draft picks next year and the year after.
