hedo left a long time ago
last year was the saddest thing ever, i thought he'd be a 10 ppg 4 assist guy on like 50 ts% and not some withered husk of flesh that began weezing 3 possessions after subbing in
he shot .04% on threes

Yeah, I remembered he was traded... I was kind of surprised when I saw he was on the roster again.
Also, that is amazing.
Looking at that '09 roster... the fact that they got as far as they did kind of vindicates SVG's strategy. I'm surprised some team hasn't taken a chance on him.
God D12 was a beast that year. I still think there was an argument at the time for him being better than Bron. The Dwight Lakers fans want to leave is a pale shadow of the man he used to be.
Beverley shot 38% from 3 and the guy we picked up from Portland shot 50% from 3.

reportedly, svg doesn't want to move his family from orlando which is why he's not been swayed by any coaching vacancies though i'm sure if someone gave him doc rivers money he'd reconsider. then again maybe he's waiting for jacque vaughn's contract to expire and take over the magic.
the 2010 magic team was actually better than the 09 team, they played with spurslike efficiency the last of half of that season. too bad vince carter turned out to be vince carter.
and orlando d12 might be gone forever with his back injury and newfound reputation as a clownish asshole with little enthusiasm, maybe parsons' can rekindle the feeling.

Great trade by #Knicks!! Andrea Bargnani is a 7 foot #flamethrower ������. Former #1 pick loaded with talent significantly upgrades roster.

Mike Woodson let it fly 3 point shot mentality will bring out the best in Andrea Bargnani. #greenlight #Knicks @alanhahn @RothenbergESPN

wally really doesnt want to lose his job, huh? this shit is just hilarious.
i have zero faith in the knicks getting a top 3 FA in that year. even top 5. its just the way of the world :/
im really looking forward to the first month of #hope where barnyani and monta arent terrible and playing like all stars and then the entire team crashes and burns before our very eyes

Diehard, do you think we should bring back DMC even if he costs $3-4 million a year? I'm leaning to yes...
Weird I had the same dream. Shit, can't be real....can it?
Seriously tho, great day, happy fucking canada day!!!
Apparently they may use a stretch provision on him.

I'm trying to find anything that Bargnani could do that would plausibly improve our offense as currently constructed.
I want to say that in theory, when healthy and interested, he would be like a 7-foot Steve Novak who can additionally handle the ball/create his own shot/shoots from mid-range very well/pass very well for a big man.
In theory, this would allow for great spacing on the court, since he'll pull bigs away from the paint, or get open shots endlessly on Melo doubles and triples.
...but he's sucked for so long, how can this even happen? Basically, the only hope is that he just needed a change of scenery and was cast incorrectly in the first/second option role. Or even better, maybe STAT truly is healthy enough to be a diminished 17 and 6 player in 20 to 25 minutes, and Bargnani can be an excellent reserve that allows us to stretch defenses for his 20 minutes with his Novak+ ability.
...oh god. :*(

Remember in 2010 when all us Bulls fans were super hyped, and we ended up with Carlos Boozer.....

If you can't defend for shit maybe.
Constant post ups for easy buckets against Bargs/Melo/Stoudemire on the regular.

he couldnt even handle the ACC gettin on his case, the Gahden will suck away what little spirit he has left in him. Oh hell have the odd game or two where he hooks yall up with 5 or 6 threes and shows a spark of life. and youll think to yourself, maybe this will work out. But I promise you...it wont.
Knicks obviously acquired him for defense and rebounding. Anything offensively is a bonus.
on a talent level he's more valuable than Novak...but dude has no heart or desire, and his big man skills are next to none
I do think he'll be better than he was in Toronto (at this point fans, coaches, management and his team mates were getting sick of him getting undeserved pt)...but this won't be in the Garden. I can't imagine the fans showing any love for him and as soon as he starts sucking the fans will kill him.

I would. The guy hustles so much abd his shooting has improved. He gave the team so many extra possesions.
I dont really have much love for guards that can't shoot, but meh...

He's an OK shooter at 22 feet...Just wish he could extend his range one step further out though since that shot is pretty worthless.
Hope Masai goes all in on the tank. I'm a big fan of Lowry but at this point I wouldn't mind trading him to help our tank cause.
Given his reasonable contract you could probably pair him with Derozan in a deal. Now that Gay contract... I don't see us ever moving that.
Which begs the question, why would our owners approve that trade if they had intended on parting ways with BC? His post trade record was far superior to his pre trade record... ugh, straight up incompetence.

You are about to acquire a guy who was hands-down a top-3 player before his injury, and his acquisition will mean you'll probably have the best center and shooting guard in the league for several years... And you're complaining about trading Thomas Robinson?
Smh.
I hope that is the case, I just haven't been a fan of Dwight in the last few years because of his drama and I don't want him to bring it to Houston
That's what I am mainly afraid about
I don't think there's ever been a trade with such consensus. Everyone in Toronto loves it. Everyone in NY hates it. The league gave the Knicks a chance to back out of the deal, but they still went forward with it. Really strange. I assume the Knicks really think they can salvage something of Andrea's career. PEACE.
Dwight is absolutely a clown, and his lack of development in his game had been pathetic to watch. Also, I'm not sure McHale is the right coach for him.
But it's worth the risk. Big men with his athleticism and defensive prowess are so, so rare.

So are the Knicks like paying back the Raps for taking Landry off their hands or what? I don't understand any other reason why they'd take Andrea Bargnani.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
I haven't been a fan of Howard's drama at all or his lol ft shooting, but you still make the deal and hope his back and love for the game comes back.
You don't hold onto Trob if you have a huge chance at Howard.

And the Jets. I'm a fan of all three
are you my brother? because of him i have been witness to true despair and hopelessness
Agree with you, but we got rid of Patterson and I enjoyed watching Patterson play for the Rockets, so just the fact that the player we traded Patterson for is getting traded already is pretty upsetting
