The Knicks and Gallinari: Match Made in Heaven
So, if I understand correctly, part of the reason you’re thinking of drafting the guy is because D’Antoni and his dad roomed together back in the day?
(Never mind, this has Chad Ford’s seal of approval. It HAS to work.)

The Knicks' top pick withdrew from his national team due to an injured back.
The U.S. Government has given the League to seal of approval to talk business with the Iranians.
I have a confession to make: I just read a Chad Ford column. OK, his blog, actually. I clicked ov

Wow! Chad Ford has CDR dropping all the way to the Pistons?! If this happens, I would be beyond ecstatic.

Of course, Chad Ford also hyped Darko, so he don’t know sh*t.

Gallinari is the third best player in his antinal team after bargnani and that dude from g-state. batum is a much better international prospect.

That’s national team, sorry.

I guess the Knicks miss Freddy Weis’s potential.

Matt Caputo says:
It’s not a safe pick by any means, but I’ll take Gallinari for obvious reasons.

Benoit Benjamin says:
Ah, the great fred weiss. You know he actually kind of resurrected his career in spain and the french national team after that magical Nba stint. But only kind of, france hasn’t won anything with or without him anyway.

H to the izzo says:
He is a good player.
May.22 at 11:27 am
TADOne says:
So he’s a lottery pick?
May.22 at 11:31 am
H to the izzo says:
Quite possibly,he has the potential to be,maybe not top ten though.

TADOne says:
Well, I don’t know anything about the kid, so I cannot say. But I do know there are some really good college players that will be available at #6.

Knicks! says:
I don’t want him!
O.J. Mayo
Jerryd Bayless
Eric Gordon
I want them on our team!
May.22 at 1:18 pm
Knicks! says:
The Knicks need to do this:
Draft Bayless, Mayo or Eric Gordon. Let them play at the 2 and sometimes at the 1.
Get TJ Ford from Toronto for Jamal Crawford
Sign Sebastian Telfair
Trade Q and Nate for Yi Jianlian and Dan Gadzuric from Milwaukee
Buy out/keep Stephon Marbury
Trade Zach Randolph to Denver for Linas Kleiza and Marcus Camby
Trade Eddy Curry to the Nets in exchange for van Horn, Sean Williams & Trenton Hassel Very young but talented team
PG: TJ Ford, Sebastian Telfair
SG: Jerryd Bayless (Eric Gordon), Mardy Collins
SF: Kleiza, Balkman, Jeffries, Hassel
PF: Yi Jianlian, David Lee, Sean Williams
C: Camby, Malik Rose, Jerome James & Gadzuric

and of course Wilson Chandler
better team for D’Antoni

There goes the NYC papers making something out of nothing. Since the Mets & Yankees are struggling, they have to find other stories to sell papers. Exactly why I don’t read them.

…You know this isn’t like NBA live where you can just trade anyone for anyone if the salaries are close.

ciolkstar says:
why would the Bucks give up their only source of revenue, EZ YI, and why on eath would Dener want Zach randolph (Poor man’s melo?) for Their best interior defender and top young prospect…seriously.

“Gallinari is the third best player in his antinal team after bargnani and that dude from g-state. batum is a much better international prospect.” Actually he’s a better player…even more ready for the nba then Belinelli and Bargnani IMHO

K Holls says:
That’s a pretty undersized Knick backcourt as well, but i think I might try that on my NBA2K8!!
May.22 at 3:22 pm
Knicks! says:
well, it was just an idea
how I would like it
it isn’t like this is happening or it’s realistic
I just like the players I talked about
and denver wanted Zach by the way (in exchange for Linas Kleiza and other pieces) I just want a whole different team

PLEASEPICKOJMAYO with the sixth pick!
May.22 at 3:27 pm
NYKforMAYO says:
By the way
if I want to play with Derrick Rose, Jerryd Bayless, Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph, OJ Mayo etc. (the players from the previous NCAA season) which NCAA game should I buy? I don’t know it, so……

give it 2 years “Knicks!”….you’ll have a whole different team and The King!

Knicks, bro you a genius! Man if the Knicks do that, they will take the Suns place away and reclaim being my #2 team agian. BOBCATS
May.22 at 3:30 pm
BETCATS says:
also Wilson Chandler seems like he is good. Pony compared him to David Thompson even though they are 2 different players, but Pony did it so they must be right, right?
May.22 at 3:30 pm
nothin personal says:
Gallinari could be the next Peja. Not the best you can do in such a deep draft, but not bad either. Ofcourse, Peja was a lot more athletic when he was 18 than he is now, but he had a couple of freak injuries early on, so Gallinari could be better. Hopefully, he won’t loose his cold blood like Peja did. I blame Chris Webber

Knicks! says:
Wilson chandler isn’t a bad player
he is still a bit raw though, he is the only current Knick that can fit in a D’antoni system and somehow i dont think the knicks will get king in 2010
why would he come to this mess and which NCAA game do I need to buy if I want to play with the players from 07-08 (so Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo etc.)?
May.22 at 4:01 pm
Dark says:
No Rose, no Beasley, probably no Mayo. Knicks should trade their pick away, packaged with one (preferably both) of the beef brothers. Start cleaning house for 2010.
May.22 at 4:29 pm
BETCATS says:
Knicks i was just saying i think it was a dumb idea for Pony to promote its new shoes the way they did, comparing a raw player to one of the 50 greatest ever. That is problay why those shoes only cost $40 on Eastbay, but who knows. I think Wilson Chandler will be a great RESERVE point guard. You guys should consider getting Duhon before the Los Dukelas Clipper do.

Russ Bengtson says:
Wilson Chadler, point guard? You must be thinking of a different Wilson Chandler.
May.22 at 9:25 pm
Russ Bengtson says:
If they do draft Gallinari, I guess Steve Schirripa will keep coming to games.

Knick says:
You see what 10 years of madness do to your fans (Knicks!). Knicks! I feel your pain and confusion, but things ain’t gonna change that fast. Look at Boston, they needed 20 years to put up another championship team. Let’s just hope that the new squad plays hard and doesn’t embarass itself.

Bump all that noise. The Knicks should show Donte Green some love.

by point guard i mean forward
