So yeah, you'll be seeing a bunch of the same roster regardless. But as you point out, like Gallo starting is one thing, but if he comes off the bench and can be your sixth man, that's pretty good. Likewise Sergio is decent, but if he's your backup point guard, he's great. So hopefully most of those guys who are kept will just have smaller roles. As far as your suggestion for the starting line-up, I've got no problem with Gallo coming off the bench, but I'm not a huge Bender fan. He seemed to play hard and smart when he first joined the team, but now he seems like another version of Al Harrington to me. As soon as he comes in, he's gunnin'. And he's either gonna shoot the three or drive. And chances are he ain't gonna pass it back once he gets going. Plus, even though he's got the 7 foot height, he doesn't seem to be much of a rebounder or defensive force (I felt Jordan Hill was much better at coming and helping on the boards since he was such a hustler).

C-Bender(atleast we dont complain about be undersized) PF-Lee SF-Chandler SG-McGrady PG-Sergio i personally think the knicks should have gallo coming off the bench like last year. its better for the knicks if he does that. played much better coming off the bench... coach g please… the only reason the cavs r any good is because of lebron… if guys lose lebron(which i doubt will happen) u guys will be in the same in the same postion like the knicks…

short white boy ya i agree bout the knicks not signing al… but what if we dont get any1 from free agency… i bet ill be seeing the same roster if that happens…

He's done a lot of stuff that I don't agree with, but he also hasn't had a ton of talent with whom to work. I think next year if we get a couple of decent players it'll be easier to determine if he's any good. But you're dead-on with him playing favoritism, which I think is bizarre and has no place in an NBA locker-room (well unless it's based purely on how good the players are -- if ya wanna favor LeBron over Jawad Williams, I understand that).

But I dunno about Wade. I think he'd only come here if we got someone else to come too. And with the $ and lure of NYC, I bet we can lure others.
