The Bucks confuse me, obviously Skiles doesnt like Sessions for whatever reason…but, they opted to keep him over Villanueva, and then they decided to draft a point guard in Jennings…
Why Skiles doesnt like him? Nobody knows, statistically hes got game, and I doubt it could be attitude problems because Dan D’Antoni knows Sessions well from AAU ball
I think they’ll match 1-3 years, I think 4 years is were they draw the line and let him go…but would they really want to lose both there key free agents for absolutely nothing? They can do what the Magic did to Gortat and ,match the offer just to have him around, basically
i think it comes down to $$
they dont have alot of it to burn.
the magic dont have alot either. but i think they figured gortat would be a trade chip at some point.
and well, the magic can justify paying extra bucks for a finals contender.
the bucks.. not so much.
i guess we should feel blessed for rooting for the one team that still wants to spend.
An off the wall thought. Any chance the hold up in Donnie signing Sessions is not because of $s per but because he wants to sign him to a 2 or 3 year deal rather than 4 or 5 years, so that Donnie can be free to pursue Chris Paul or Deron Williams in 2011 or 2012 should one of them go the FA route? And Donnie knows that a 2 or 3 year deal is much more likely to be matched by the Bucks than a longer term deal? At one level, you would think Sessions would like a 2 or 3 year deal, in that he can showcase himself in DA’s offense for that time and look for a much larger contract in just a few years. Just a thought.
All these cats we want to see play in Mike D system, what I want to see is I know I beating a dead horse in the ground but I want defense to be the theme of training camp no matter who we do and dont pick up. We’ve proven we can score except on those bad shooting nights but thats where defense comes in if we are having a bad shooting night.
Tommy Dee has watched every Knick game since 1988, it's a record that he holds close to his heart, and with apologies to Cal Ripken, believes this is one heck of a streak.
He feels the team needs: perimeter defense, an attitude adjustment, to remove all position-confused guards, someone to protect the rim, and players who respect the jersey.
He also feels basketball is the greatest gift the city has given to its people and can't wait for the day a playoff win actually takes place in the Garden.

Neither do I but he def could RT @DinoNYK: @TommyDeeTKB any chance knicks keep gallo and get melo? I dont see him surviving till free agency 2 days ago
No, I wouldn't. Again, i think Melo isn't bluffing about becoming a free agent. could be wrong tho. RT @HankKnight Would you do that trade? 2 days ago
I would say yes absolutely. RT @Dnussbaum: @TommyDeeTKB Do the Knicks get Melo if the give up Gallo, AR, Curry and a first? 2 days ago
