A Blown Knee & Flat Tires-Another NY Pothole Year: 17-18 Knicks Season Thread

[TOAD99]

Lebron and his instagram posts are so corny. Dude trying to divert attention from the fact his team is trash right now

It’s more dumb because the Knicks literally beat them the other day

Kanter is a good fit, dude is ride or die.

We’ll recover from this L

RoLo was that nikka... One of the best signing by :philjacksonlol:and then he goes and trades him away for the corpse of Rose...

Beating up mascots and slapping up little people...I mean Chris Paul

 

[mbewane]

Rolo was cheaper too right? Only thing is he was older.

Then we let Holiday go for peanuts

Yep...oh well I hope we learn from all this and recognize when players are worth sticking with

You know how a few years ago dudes started going to Hakeem to improve their post game in the off season?

Who are some retired guards you'd like to see Frank work with to improve them handles and attacking the rim? Cuz I'm gonna need my french son to stop picking up his dribble and be a threat to penetrate...

Kevin Johnson aka KJ. Probably the most underrated PG to play in the NBA the last 30 years

Dude looks Ebro from HOT 97.
As for the question, the individual Knicks are not better than Carmelo Anthony as players, but they fit better with Kristaps and a team structure. Except Michael Beasley. fukk him

I'd take Hamidou Diallo over Duval since you already have a PG, or trade down and take yet another foreigner like Rui Hachimura, but I don't think yall could handle having to do that again


Also try to get Mikal Bridges with a late first or early 2nd.

If they end up in the 5-10 range: Jaren Jackson, Miles Bridges, Diallo all fit needs.

If they end up more toward the middle of the draft - Diallo, Mikal Bridges low-key Benny Boatright (tho I gotta watch more of him) Sleeper Bonga or Rui Yo Life. Hachimura was ADMINISTERING THE WORK this summer. Also, if Kevin Knox can be a flexible 4 who rebounds, then KP at the 5 suddenly is super dangerous. I know we need a smallforward in the worst way, but damn.

Also I love colin sexton. I just think he's a badass. Not sure I'd want to draft him, but I love him.

Yeah, KP's flopping is becoming unbearable

It was the only thing that kept them in the game when the Cavs made a run.

It's true


They still need an upgrade at SF, but the lack of ball stopping has the Knicks offense in the top 10, they did that once in Carmelo's entire time in NY.


The Knicks need a Robert Covington type at SF, 3 & D that can switch onto multiple positions.

I like Bridges the most for the Knicks out of all those names, mostly because he'd allow them to play KP at the 5 in some smallball lineups, he's got t-rex arms but he should be should be strong enough on the boards to make it work.

Internet silliness. Obviously Melo was the best Small Forward we've ever had.

But, it would have been nice if he was more willing to do some of the complimentary things to help create more motion. That's not his game, which is fine. It was not necessarily his responsibility to adjust his game. He's in OKC and I wish him the best of luck.

 

[Malta]

Knox & Bridges should be the most obvious Knick targets outside of the top 5.

I picture McDermott being like a Dan Majerle type player if he can become a force on defense, and it's not cause he's white. Well maybe a little tell me not though.
