I think they can do it only after the official signing. Andrea who is in the training camp with the Italian NT asked 2 days of permission to fly from Rome to New York for the press conference.

I care most about what happens in the postseason, the regular season success doesnt necessarily carry over to the playoffs.

Fool me once....

Don't you support JR?

Woodson on Bargnani: "Andrea has great size and can create huge matchup problems for our opponents." #Knicks

Frank Isola ‏@FisolaNYDN 2m

Knicks GM Glen Grunwald says that 7-footers like Andrea Bargnani "with an ability to stretch the other team’s defense are hard to come by."

this is obviously what the plan was

Was hoping we would get a press conference. Hopefully there will be some footage on msg.com with Woodson, Grunnie, and Bargs.

#Knicks coach Mike Woodson on Bargnani: “He can score both inside and out. He will be a great complement to Carmelo, Tyson and Amar’e.”

This trade was all because of Hibbert lol. I agree we needed more spacing and now we got it

Knicks are so thrilled to have Andrea Bargnani that he'll be introduced to media and fans via a conference call, not a press conference.

probably did this to protect him

Is Bargnani even in the U.S.? He was in Italy.

He's in New York at the moment. It was in an article a few days ago. Hard to find it now.

He was in the training camp with Italian national team. 2 days ago I read that he asked and obtained the permission to fly to NY. I do not know if they decided to cancel either postpone it.

After couple of days to digest everything, I'm very excited about bargnani.... Change of scenery would do him good. He will have a specific role on this team which is to space the floor and score and keep pressure off melo and company. Remember people he was avg 21 a game just yr and half ago being to focal point of a offense and now he is 3-4th at best. Looking forward to a big year from him
