It would ahve been much easier if we didnt have to tarde so many assets for him. If he would ahve just waited to sign with us as a FA we would probably be in better shape IMO

Name those "assets"...Tell me the reason why we stink is Gallo...

If Dolan let Donnie do his thing, there was a chance we end up with Melo, Gallo, The Mayor, Fatton, Moz, Stat in the same team. Even if that does not work, you have movable assets that you can use to get the right pieces. The only thing Melo needed to do was wait for free agency.

Donnie signed Amare, case closed...The Mayor would have been let loose so Melo could sign here...Gallo had to be signed as well at what 10 mil per???..So now was are really talking about Gallo and Mozgov..Those two guys would have changed this franchise???

It would be better than what we have now. You would rather have JR Smith or Pablo or Bargs over Gallo? or any other player we have now not named Melo?

Cap space was the biggest one but picks and solid players count too

Not blaming melo BUT its time to move on. melo is what he is he is a great scorer but he isnt the type of player that can carry a team far. Thats not a knock on him becase very few guys can. MJ Bryant Lebron are some of the few

Recently I did some digging into the Donnie Walsh era...That needs its own thread...

Please elaborate, Gallo had to get 10 mil which became Tyson essentially..So please elaborate...What pick..Tell me about the picks Donnie gave away to get under the cap..He could have let ZBO and the others expire..Does that count???? We traded David Lee for garbage and pointless salary back, so apparently Donnie wasn't thinking about the cap at that point..

So basically we should wait until we could get the best basketball player on the planet or Gallo??

Yes. We were bidding against ourselves. The price was to steep as it is being proven now. We have no assets to help Melo.

Donnie mistake number one was hiring MDA who needed mistake number two, Amare..Game and Set right there...

Personally i think Donnie the amare signing and the melo tarde were all mistakes. Now we need to try again. Not blaming anyone it just didnt work

Signing Billups and thinking Toney Douglas was a pg.
holfresh @ 1/20/2014 3:57 PM
Please look at the 2009 NBA draft and tell me how Donnie and MDA was doing...

http://www.nba.com/draft2009/

We could have picked 8 players after Jordan Hill that would have been home runs...

Gallo doesn't even make half what Melo does but no one said we had to keep him anyway. If you don't know what picks we gave up in the Melo trade, you can look that up easily. I don't see what the other questions have to do with the topic.

using the amnesty clause on billups instead of amare was a bad move too

What?????I have no clue what u are trying to say...What is the relevance of pointing out Gallo salary??...U said we would have cap space if Melo came here via free agency..I said we would have to pay Gallo 10 mil per plus Melo and Amare....The Mayor had to walk because we had no money for him...Where is the cap space???

What's the big deal with Gallinari exactly?

If I remember correctly, Donnie created cap space for Melo in that FA summer. Similar to what he did for Amare.

OK Melo and Amare get their money then we resign Gallo a year later to 10 mil which essentially is Chandler's salary, so where is the additional cap space???
