NYK 10: The Crossover

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

Nice way to finish the final game at MSG for the year. Come back from a 10 point 4th quarter deficit and Gallo was on fire to lead the charge. Even though it was a meaningless game the crowd was still so into the game.

And LeBron is not coming to NY. It makes zero sense.

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

I'd say 10% chance. It is still New York and even if he doesn't really need the mega market, it could grow his international presence a bit more since he wants to be a billion dollar athlete.

Agreed on all accounts. I love Galo's development this season. I was not high on him until this year.

Kid wants the ball. Love that.

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

His fire and passion for the game is what impresses me most. He's a competitive SOB. Even little things, like when he missed the T free throw in the 4th qtr he did a lil jump/prance thing at the stripe after it rimmed out cause he was so pissed/fired up.

Love the kid, I no longer lose sleep about us taking him over Eric Gordon.

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

And you younger Knick fans need to get real about LeBron James, otherwise you'll get your hearts broken. I've seen it too many times - these top FAs always talk NY to jack up their asking price. It's gone on for decades.

He is getting a max contract no matter where he is, there is no real reason for him to jack up the price. It was different back in the day.

I think he'll stay in Cleveland, but I don't think its 100%. I think he loves New York, and the idea of playing in New York intrigues him. I don't buy the endorsement issue or anything like that, but just that doing things New York greatly improves your legacy over doing things in most other places. We have a few young players for him to play with, and a ton of cap space to basically build the team how he wants it. I also think I'm one of the few who thinks it would be more likely he leaves if the Cavs win this year. I don't think he wants to leave Cleveland without winning a championship, but if he accomplishes that I could see him wanting to move on. In the end, I see him staying, but I just wouldn't say that's a definite.

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

I said the same thing last year Jets, that LeBron winning a title in Cleveland would make it more likely that he leaves. I'll be rooting for the Cavs this post season.

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

Gallo has had an outstanding year. He slumped in the middle, probably due to fatigue and playing so many games, but he showed me a lot this year and is going to be a huge part of this team going forward. He's getting more aggressive, and while everyone knows he can shoot, just about every other aspect of his game is underrated. I think there's only 3-4 players I would have rather have then him in that draft.

Not looking good for what I'd like to see:

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

My question about Gallo is, what happened to his shot-blocking? I remember back when we had that winning streak towards the beginning-middle of the year, Gallo was sending everything back. He really was a presence down there. Anybody remember his block on Felton (I think?) at the end of the game vs. the Bobcats?

What happened to that?

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

SMH @ Wade saying weather will be a big factor in where he plays. Us and Chicago are out of the question. I don't see Bosh coming here but I don't want him anyway. So I guess we're going for Joe Johnson?

Everything I've read says he loves Atlanta and is staying put. So what's Plan B, Donnie Walsh?

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

Yeah, we have to field a 12-man roster next year so it's not like we can just save ALL of that cap space for the summer of 2011. We could have a real comical roster next year.

Amare is now Plan F...excuse me, Plan A?

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

There's gonna be a lot of broken hearted band wagon riding Knicks fans next season.

Re: NYK 10: The Crossover

I wonder if it'll actually reach a point where we resign D-Lee because we have no other options.

No...

LeBron
Wade
Bosh
Amare
JJ

Then who?

Rudy Gay? I feel like there's one more that I'm not thinking of...
