The Knicks ain't even a good team though :deadrose:
The Knicks were the 15th best team in the playoffs
. The only team they were better than were the Celtics:old: who couldn't score more than 80 points. Even the Bucks:scusthov: could of beaten the Knicks with their predictable ISO plays

only if you're James Dolan. :heh:

the Knicks have no young players (Shump is decent :ld:), cap flexibility, picks or assets. they're locked into their current roster and will have to depend on FA leftovers and Summer League scraps to fill out their team. they'll lose Copeland and the only way they'll keep JR is if the rest of the league wants nothing to do with him. (not exactly encouraging).

on the flip side, most Nuggets fans realized (even when the hype machine was getting out of control) that their team is talented but the flaws (no shooting, no post play, shaky interior D etc.) were too glaring to seriously contend for a championship. thankfully, we're led by a brilliant basketball mind that knows how to make this team better and acquired the assets to do it.

The Knicks were one of the three best teams in the East last year, the Nuggets have no shot in the west.

Wilson Chandler left for china.
Gallo got hurt again.
Mozgov is a fringe center.

I'm not sure what the argument is other than people desperate to be contrarian.

Knicks won.

The question we should be asking:

Can you win a championship with Melo being your best player and being the highest number against the cap?

If you built a proper team around him yes....They wont win with the pieces they have around him right now...

Nuggets didnt lose cuz they had no shot with melo and they did get better..Knicks are a better team,have his drawing power but arent any closer to winning anything with at least 2-3 teams still in front of them...I wont say Knicks lost because they got the best player whos a top 10 player in the league...

Question is can any team win , with JR Smith being their 2nd best player.
