We should keep Fields theres a reason Denver wants him instead of Gallo.And can't we keep both since we're the only team that can get Melo
I like Fields as well. But he's not a "dealbreaker" if you ask me. As long as NYK keep either Fields or Gallo, I'm happy. I wouldn't trade both.
Look, if the other team has to worry about Melo or Stoudemire, then the role players will improve. We have Walker (who is young enough where he could blossom), along with Keleena Azuibuike who is getting healthier, and then there's Shawne Williams who could thrive in the SG role... And finally the Knicks still have a halfway decent 1st round pick this year... in the teens... and they BETTER find another Fields like player.
Sure, part of me wishes this goes all the way to free agency. We either get Carmelo for nothing (but cash), or swing a deal for Deron Williams. But it is what it is.
Who knows what Carmelo does if he gets to free agency. Who knows what Utah will want, or who else may get involved, for DW; or even CP3.
Getting Carmelo-Amar'e while you can do it is certainly enticing. Tough call. But it's not up to me you or even Walsh. Appears Dolan is pushing ahead regardless.
