Yes we finally got our guy, but at what cost.  I know we gave up "everything and the kitchen sink", but what is being overlooked is how we got him. 

Walsh continually lowballed the Nuggets (rightfully so) knowing the Knicks are Anthony's preferred choice, but Dolan's impatience may have cost us the finest front office member we had since I can remember...

Following the celebration of landing our guy I came across multiple reports that the deal was all Thomas, Dolan, Rose, and Worldwide Wes, completely undermining Walsh and destroying everything he worked so hard and patiently to build up.  I can't find the link to this specific story, but someone says that Walsh is done, and the Carmelo deal was the last draw.  Luckily Walsh is still a professional and wouldn't purposely hurt the team as retaliation.  But i hope April 30th (or whenever the day is) comes and Dolan picks up Walsh's option because personally i would hate for Thomas to come in after the season and screw up everything walsh has done.

So with that i ask you.....was Carmelo worth Donnie Walsh, or all these reports overblown

BTW heres Wojanowski's link:

Whats up fellow P&T'ers.......while we still probably have some residual highs from our recent two wins (and a potential 3rd in LA tonight.....a nice situation has opened up in new jersey...Troy Murphy and his talent is rotting on the bench....Favors has been better at this stage than expected, and Avery likes the Favors/Humphries combination at the 4.

So why don't we go ahead and grab Troy Murphy and actually put him to use...

Follow me after the jump and for a nice tidbit of info regarding Ronny Turiaf at the end......

Stumbled across this masterpiece of an article suggesting the Rockets buy out Jared Jeffieres, so he can return to the knicks:

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/2010/11/15/2010-11-15_jared_jeffries_nearly_negotiated_buyout_that_would_have_returned_rockets_forward.html

My thinking is is this really neccesary.  At this point our defense is better than our offense and jared wouldnt help the fact that we cant throw a tennis ball in the atlantic ocean.....would we grab him and just flip him in a trade to you know where for you know who...or can he bring something unique to the table that makes him valuable.....i just see him as too much of an offensive liability to help

I know we're all tired of the carmelo rumors.....but theres one report that the NJ deal is falling apart and melo is pushing nugs management for a trade to nyk..

apparently donnie is working on a deal that includes gallo, ar, and DWTDD....

that is exactly what we DONT want......why would we give up all these pieces for a one dimensional scorer.(even if he is rele good at that)....

anyway heres the story

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AkKLX.cVCkpID4H7TuMVZUi8vLYF?slug=ys-anthonytrade092610

lets hope donnie continues to play hardball, but i think he is succumbing to the pressure to bring another star to nyk

curry hasn't been seen or heard from in months......im picturing him in a dark corner running through twinkies like they're crack...

but why doesn't this guy surprise me...he is a fucking joke...thank god he will no longer step foot on the court embarrasing the orange and blue....

And now I have to get this to 75 words..sorry but a a a a a a a a a b b b b b b

Ahh there we go...dont forget the poll =]

Bored and thinking of new topics that do not revolve around trades for melo and cp3...I just wanted to know what you guys think are the teams with the best overall situations for winning now and in the future (next 6-8years) taking into account players...thier salaries...etc...basically its the same as the espn post about a month ago, but im not an insider and wanted to offer my opinion

Here is my list

Btw who else cant wait for the f*ckin season to start....im so hyped

this may sound like a crazy idea...but i think the knicks should sign antione walker to a nonguaranteed contract since he is looking for a squad and is in contact with 4-6 teams...let him come in and earn his spot in training camp.  i think that if he has the right mindset he can really help this knicks squad..

I was just wondering what my fellow P&T'ers thought about how successfull we were during the offseason since it is coming to a close....obviously we were all a little dissapointed that James took his talents to south beach but that would have been too easy...and good teams are built through patience...intelligence..and luck.  But since the chips have fallen, what grade would u give our club.

Just noticing the rumors of Carmelo possibly opting to not sign the extension....and chris pauls recent declaration of getting out of NOLA....i was playing around with the trade machine....found out a way we can grab both paul and carmelo without taking any terrible contracts

I was just browsing and i came across this article

http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=16831

i have to say i am very impressed about the change of attitude for the young knicks....they are coming ready eager and willing to work....this will translate well on the court...and i absolutely cant wait to get the season started...i think we can surprise alot of people

that being said...i wanted to know what my fellow P&T'ers think....where the knicks will finish the season....im thinking seed 5-7  too optimistic?

as a knick fan i am somewhat dissapointed by the views of my fellow fans.

I honestly believe that while lebron could return the knicks to glory, the best option for the knicks would be for lebron to sign elsewhere...so we can use that money to build a contender through a few years..
