Gallo for Kaman straight-up, I hope Donnie is all over this

Only thing that worries me about Kaman is he ALWAYS seems to get hurt. Otherwise yes, He is EXACTLY the type of big we need and would fill alot of holes we have on this team as far as defense and rebounding go.

Clippers fans aren't big fans of him it seems. From the sounds of it I'd much rather keep Gallo. Only one year on the contract left though, so I dunno.
IF/WHEN Carmelo opts to go to NJ... Knicks will continue on to Plan-C.
I read somewhere that centers around big men (Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan & Jason Thompson). I think all 3 of those guys are RFAs.
I'm sure they would rent a C for the rest of the year, but I believe they wont do anything to disrupt chances to improve club via free agency this summer.
I think this is why they deal Randolph to MIN for a potential lottery pick (1st rounder).
They could use that pick to pry away a player they covet.
If Carmelo becomes a Jersey Boy, we should aggressively target Deandre Jordan, Glen Davis, Andre Kirilienko, and Mayo. As well as extending Chandler and Turiaf's tenure on the team, picking up Turiaf's 5M option and giving Chandler a long term deal.
Felton-Douglas
Mayo-Fields
Gallo-AK47
Chandler-Davis
STAT-Jordan
6th--Williams
bench -- turiaf, walker, moz, jerome jordan, and whomever we get with our 2011 picks and low-wage signings, ideally defensive specialist 1trick ponies, but who do their tricks pretty well.
Granted, we'd still have only one "superstar", but we just might be deep enough...empowered enough dynamic defensive talent...and maximized SSOL game style further....To be a championship team, in the vein of the recent vintage Pistons.
And we'd be young enough and loaded with unbridled talent to the pt where an explosive rise by any one player (Gallo, Chandler, eg), could vault us into "juggernaut" territory, versus the more methodical type of winning team that those Piston's were, lacking marque Max FA Superstars.
