thats your own opinion . . . im not trying to prove you wrong or what , im not also starting any arguement.

i understand your point, but what makes the decision of signing JJ with that much money as not a mistake as well as drafting marvin and shelden ? i do believe they pick the 2 because they work on a plan or how the team will be complimented with this 2 players.

yes . . . you are right! atlanta is not being heard from FA you know why? even before the start of players can be sign the news is out that the hawks wants JJ back! and looking at it almost all GM's of other teams know the hawks will do everything they can for jj to stay.

next is did the hawks or have you read the hawks even try calling out? or set up meetings with players? if i am a FA with the caliber of amare, bosh or wade . . . when i read or hear that the hwaks want badly JJ to stay and knowing they dont have much money to pay would i even bother saying i wish i can go to the hawks? wherein its not even clear how much money i can be paid . . would it be different if a hawk representative called my agent or even knock on my door step or even gave me plane tockets to go to atlanta for a sale pitch?

FA presently never rode the idea of going to what team he likes but to what team showed interest in them and try to sell them of signing with them. thats why its called free agency!

With Amare Lee is already out. They want 2 max FA, so Lee cant me resigned.

Chill man. We just just talk. You have your opinion and i respect it. Like you mine. All good :).

Theoretically no.They can first sign a max Fa,and then resign Lee in 10-12 M range with the Bird rights...then they could complete the roster signing some players with MLE and the other exceptions...and with two max FA,Lee and Gallo,I'm sure that many veterans would go to NY to fight for the title

The luxury tax is the last of the problems for the Knicks

you are right! i dont think getting over the luxury tax is a concern of the NYK, as long as they get a team thats winning. dolan to my opinion dont mind losing money by paying extra millions in fines as long as it wins games remember the suns an extra 10 million just getting to the western conference finals. imagine how much money still can be generated during the finals and guess what dolan own a cable company!

yeah i think 10 million for 6 years or 5 is good for lee! but . . . i think the knicks will be looking for a suitable center or else you got an undersize center in lee or make amare play center which is not his strong position.

but its exciting to see what point guard can the knicks have this time, will sergio rodriguez be able to do it ? im betting gallo to be the sg or sf.

cool mate! i knew ill write it in a way that it could mis interpreted. . . . really need to work on my composition haha

Gallo isn't fast enough to play as SG,his position is as a great scoring Sf,and developing a better post-game(he has yet some moves,but he can doo great improvements with his talent and his ethic for the work),he can became a living mismatch for the adversaries forwards

There aren't in the actual NBA many centers of good level,having two undersized,but strong players as Lee and Stoudamire in the frontcourt ,would put them in a better position than a great part of the actual teams in the NBA,with two veteran defensive centers coming out from the bench(Pryzbilla and Nesterovic for their salaries and characteristics would be perfect)...or they would have to do a sign and trade,(with Orlando for Gortat and something good in the backcourt?)

Sergio Rodriguez sign with Real Madrid,they had to chose a PG between Felton and Ridnour in the FA to play with him and Toney Douglas...

the question i think we should be asking can lee and amare co-exist?

really sergio left? duhon left . . . i think they might go with ridnour . . . . . remember when he was starting for the sonics he got a really good assist to turnover ratio but his defense is a problem but i dont think its a concern for nyk with mike "no" D-antoni

felton will be a burden because his shooting isnt realy something he can be proud of.

Seems everyone's chasing David Lee right now! He's a good player and can help a lot of teams... Where do you think he would land?

on The Score right now it says breaking news Bosh will join Wade in Miami according to ESPN

Yeah I heard about that... Bosh is a great player, and with Wade they can make a really nice duo! :)
