Short and sweet, I think if the Price for Melo is too high or den decides to keep him for whatever naive reason they have, Gilbert would be a nice sleeper trade Donnie could probably pull off, that would likely cost us Curry and a bit player. Only thing is Im not sure what cap implications that would mean for us as far as getting Melo if Den holds him. But Gilbert is playing well with wall and in this system would probably go nutty. Him and Felt... I dont think the league would be rdy for that with Stat, honestly. Thoughts?
Arenas believe it or not, can easily fit on this team.
He is a jokester, so much so that he thought it was "funny" to bring a gun to work one day...(who knows maybe he brought it everyday). Being a jokester he will be the smaller turiaf. He has a personaility that would actually be accpeted and liked in NY. He is just the guy to laugh at or with 24/7 to bring chemsitry to an even greater level. Chemsitry=Success
He still has game. His contract is steep and long but He is good. He scores, he dishes, he plays defense, he is really smart on the court-off is another story. He is clutch as anybody when he gets his outside shot going.
Arenas can change an entire game single handedly. No one can say no to this one, this guy is so well known because of his ability to diminate basketball games. Maybe Arenas is Marbury part 2 but no one questioned Marbury's skills and talent, it was his attitude and personaility.
Gilbert is not the same personality as Marbury. He is dumb in his own way but can dominate games nonetheless. He is sorry for what he did, maybe he isnt so serious about being sorry but he knows he cant be that dumb again or he is done.
Imagine this lineup
Felton
Arenas
Melo
Amare
Turiaf
Next year
This team would destroy people, screw the Heat, they are not stopping this onslaught. The speed, quickness, clutch shooting, pure skill, good IQ, decently defended, and fast court Knick team just needs to establish a pick and roll, then we will be really good adn with amazing players.
Im for Arenas being a Knick one day.
