Knicks should have kept David Lee.

Are you under the impression that Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and Houston are on the West COAST?

Amare is the reason Carmelo and people started paying attention to the knicks again.

It was a bad contract, but it was necessary. The knicks were about to lose out that summer with NO players...you guys don't pay attention

the knicks organization was so :trash: priro to summer 2010, that they had to overpay for a gimpy player in STAT in order to lure :salute: and chandler to the team so they could get overpaid as well.

Nah Knicks haven't won a title since 73 and I grew up watching my team shyt on the knicks for years no reason to be mad

Just speaking truth

my favorite team has been shytting on the knicks for so many years, to me, it's an annual tradition like thanksgiving. I fully expect us to shyt on the knicks any time we play them.

What's your point?

That the Knicks sucked, put together a young core, signed a veteran, turned the team around enough to attract a star and made themselves one of the best teams in the East?

You overpay for players in the NBA. The Market dictates it. Are you trying to say Melo wouldn't get a max deal, if it weren't for the Knicks?

I don't really understand the premise of this statement. The Knicks were a laughing stock, then they made good decisions, brought on a star, and had the second best record in the East.

Next year, all of those deals are expiring - and they can try a similar tack, or switch it up.

The Bulls franchise hasn't exactly be blowing the NBA away with their roster management over the last 18 months.


Sometimes on this board, guys get so hyped to antagonize, they ignore what they're actually talking about.

Melo wasnt going to come because of Lee.

Then Chandler wasnt going to come is they didnt have Melo and Amarie


JR Smith wasnt going to come if the Knicks wasnt somewhat successful with Melo and Chandler.

So the city of New York and the historic Knicks franchise couldn't attract any good free agents without Amare being there?

Not really.

You have - in my estimation - one of the best 3-5 players in the nba as your centerpiece, and you're going to enter this season, with the same roster that failed him 2 years ago, basically hoping for the evolution of Jimmy Butler to push your team over the hump.

Last year was an abortion. The front office - instead of telling Rose to shut it down, take the year, and come back healthy - opted to hold out hope for his return, and spent the year in a holding pattern. They could have made a move with boozer or deng to improve the roster, either through the draft, or via trade... but instead you're going to have the same problems you've been complaining about for going on three seasons.

You have a young star, in the beginning of his prime, and you're not making the moves necessary to put a championship team around him. Even for and outsider, that's immensely frustrating.

You don't look like geniuses, you're major acquisition this season is Tony Snell.

Don't play stupid. You know how the NBA works, it's the place, or it's the money, or it's both.

It attracted Amar'e. The team was good again, and it attracted Melo. Melo has already said he would have signed with the Knicks in the summer, but it didn't come to that, because he was traded mid season. He chose the knicks, he chose new york.

Many digs at the Knicks, their franchise, their base, and the city are legit. Use some of them.

LeBron didn't want to come to New York, he wanted to go to Miami with Wade and Bosh. If the Knicks had more players, maybe it would have been different, maybe not. Doesn't matter. They signed Amar'e, Signed Melo to a max deal, signed Chandler.

The Knicks attracted 3 max players, that were all in line to get max deals from other teams as well. I'm not sure why some people choose to argue facts, when you could just say "the knicks management is fukking idiots." And be MORE valid.
