ill give him his credit, and I understand the anger towards whats going on with the knicks right now and how easy it is to dump it on that trade; but to be honest with you, I am not going to sit here and call gallinari a franchise anything. He is not capable of carrying a team deep into the playoffs ( that is what franchise player does ) he is playing very well in a system that offensively gives every one the opportunity to score. by 17 ppg 31 pct from three isnt exactly franchise like
however, he does have the potential to become an elite scorer in this league; but hes not there yet.
Lets try to focus more on whats going on with our team than the denver nuggets
I get sick and tired of these half @ss knicks fans rooting for other players to do well on other teams,
get it through your head
our problems do not lie in a trade made, but lie in our coach
Why we keep trying to pretend its carmelo anthonys fault or amares fault or any one elses is beyond me
there is a reason why the denver nuggets have been able to continue winning after melo got traded and its called George Karl
and there is a reason why the suns were able to continue winning with out mike dantoni with AMARE still on the suns, went to the western conference finals
because dantoni had very little to do with the success they had during his tenure.
and yes I will turn every thread into a FIRE MIke DANTONI thread
BECAUSE I LOATHE AND DESPISE THE MAN THAT MUCH
It also lies in that Amar'e and Melo are overpayed and we literally can't sign any quality talent now because we have zero cap room.
and an MLE player isn't going to do anything. We are going to be picking from the bottom of the garbage pile with minimum deals until one of their contracts are gone.
It doesn't matter who we get as coach honestly, this isn't a championship team even with a better coach. Sure our record might be better, we might play better, get to the second round.. but it won't matter. I want a team that can make moves, and can compete and has the hope of getting better if things don't go right in the next season. We can't do that. The fact that we have no draft pics for like, the next 10 years doesn't help either.
They started to build a big 3 trying to compete with the Heat, and when they couldn't get Chris Paul, they did a smart thing and went out and got Tyson Chandler. He fills a need and gives us an edge over other teams, rather than a big name with flaws that sells more tickets. He actually has a ring and was a huge reason as to why that team finally got one.
So Idk, even if we get Phil Jackson as our coach, it will make us better, but not that much so it doesn't really matter. We have no guards and nothing to trade, no room to sign, and no picks to draft any quality ones. So slight variations of this team is pretty much what we are stuck with.
