NYK confident latest offer is respectable and could get done for Melo soon. DEN preferred Gallinari over Fields after being asked to choose.

You're not the only one. After 40+ years watching this team...enough is enough. When Amare begins having issues, this deal will look very different - but the Knicks will be capped out in perpetuity - again, but with few real assets.

Honestly...I've been addicted to this team, and it's time to end that addiction. Life's just too short.

were only on the hook for melo and amare in 2 years when we can go after paul or williams...not sure what u mean by capped out? Its not like we have zach randolph, jamal crawford, and eddy curry for awful deals...we will have 2 of the top 10 players in the league

I'm pretty sure the NBPA meeting ran late and they were both at it. No big deal here

this is just horrid horrid negotiating.

unless melo gave you an ultimatum in your meeting this is an absolute travesty to give this much up.

Isiah was not at meeting in LA but he is advising James Dolan. I know, I know, some still refuse to admit it and/or believe it.

This is some more idiocy. It presumes that Dolan is brain dead and can't tie his shoes.

You have to see that it's fun to cartoonize public figures -- especially billionaires whose father earned their inheritance -- but it's just media and fan craziness.

So Isiah is advising Dolan -- what does that mean? Dolan can't figure out whether he wants to include Gallo in the deal? That's something that Dolan needs help figuring out?

Who cares if Isiah offered his opinion? Big freaking deal. He's not running the club -- clearly Walsh is. And if he is running the club, well he's done a pretty good job. Do we want to take all that credit we've given to Walsh and give it to Isiah?

I think Dolan is stupid to think Isiah is someone who he should be friends with, after the sexual harassment thing and all of the ego he exhibits -- but I know that I wouldn't want to be judged by all of my friends.

It's a cartoon image of Dolan. Nobody really knows him. We don't know what he thinks or does or how he operates.

All I know is that he made some mistakes with Isiah. People make mistakes. I also know that he has never refused to fund (and fund to the max) his team. And that's important.

I filter out the boogie man stuff. And I also take into account that his father has managed a multi-billion dollar business and he has been at the head of large businesses too. Not exactly an easy task -- he has more competence and better intentions that a lot of people want to admit.

Isola is a perfect example of someone who wants to paint this very dark tale about Dolan because he's got nothing better to do and he's probably very jealous of all that cashola that Dolan has.

Are you the Knicks PR man? Seriously...you don't know anything that's going on behind the scenes.

Isola has not been the only one that's mentioned Isiah. Everyone has. It's pretty clear Dolan is a moron when it comes to basketball and if he has Isiah advising him then that is bad news for us.

Either way, Walsh has not been renewed and Dolan has not made any statement backing him this entire time while rumors swirl about Isiah. Any normal owner would have come out and put those rumors to rest. Instead he lets them build and build and undermines the authority of his basketball personnel.

Defending Dolan? Now I have seen it all.

Maybe Amare and Melo thought they were coaching the celebrity game?

Or the skills competition tomorrow?

Haha...no you're not. You are just emotional because we are losing Gallo. I'm pissed too but you'll get over it. He'll come back for the MLE in a couple of seasons.

I hate losing gallo. I hate even more, giving gallo, chandler and 10 other players plus picks.. honestly, I will probably enjoy watching more nuggets games, because honestly, I think they will be more fun to watch and a better team than the knicks in the long run.... you heard it here first.. if this deal happens, and they keep chandler, they will have a nice team in two years, while the knicks will keep getting bent over by miami..

We are giving them Chandler who's a RFA after this year, Curry and AR don't play so they're not part of the team. So it's basically Gallo for Melo and you're the same guy that said you'd give them up for Melo after the Cavs game, correct?

I'm sorry, but KnicksGod is 10000% right on the Dolan part fwiw...

I find it hilarious how everything suddenly got quiet, it's obvious the Knicks and Nuggets are very close to a deal, the signs are everywhere.

Yet earlier today, twitter and the knick hating media couldn't shut up about how a Net deal was done, where the **** are these assclowns now that the Knicks are closer than the Nets have ever been?

Donnie had this one on lock, he was gonna call the NJ bluff and get a better deal for sure.

Isiah = Illuminati

Lol at people using 'when Amare start to break down this team will be different' blah blah blah.... how the hell are we going to look surrounded by mediocre Gallos and Chandlers when he starts breaking down?!! And how could it POSSIBLY be worse than with Melo beside him.

I'm glad some people will be rooted out by this.
