Making Melo a lifer and waving at Felton in Rikers: Knicks offseason thread

[K-Deini]

easily the most frustrating team/season ive ever had to watch in any sport. at least when they were known to be ass in the 2000's i could enjoy watching the younger guys like wilson, lee, nate and gallo and didnt have high expectations. good thing game of thrones is back on

send felton on a flight 370 and just hire a competent coach. i think melo will be back. just find any pg who can stay in front of his man and we win at least 5 more games off that alone.

I'm perplexed as to how you single out Murry as being gone. He wasn't on some jeremy Lin break out star shyt but he still could use some development.
Also, as much of a hack Tyler is...I liked him coming off the bench as a 3rd string Center & sometimes PF. With the right passing PG, he can contribute on offense.

I agree on almost everything else.

May God guide Melo to Islam.

I love your character. But honestly, if Melo converted to Islam...It would probably help the Knicks.

He'd live a more content life, humble himself....
And take a pay cut.


Felton needs to be sent to Crimea strapped to an F-16 jet and launched at the Russians via missile...

Outside of re-signing Melo, Getting rid of Felton and bringing in a serviceable guard should be no. 1 priority.

Something tells me Kyle Lowry may be a Knick in 2015. Thoughts? And if not, who do yall see us going after?

I really wish Chandler understood he is now a depreciating in value and would accept a back center role.


J.R Smith has been playing very good as of late...but I am standing true to my previous oncrete admission...he is a cancer on this team, mentally. He needs to be traded. Sorry.

That actually brings me to my most important point...

The biggest problem this year, wasn't lack of talent. It was poor mental strength, whether it was our floor general setting the tone of games by complaining about EVERY call or J.R Smith starting the season off suspended because he still thinks he is in High School or our Coach who makes a statement like, "Players will be competing for the starting spot" meanwhile J. R Smith did everything short of smacking Woodson in the face and he was still starting.

Get rid of every mental deficiency on this team:

Felton, J.R Smith & Woody.

I'm leaning towards putting Slump...I mean Stump...I mean Shump in that mentally weak category but I still believe under a new Coach, he'll be comfortable and shine.

However, if the Suns would accept Shump, Stat/ Chandler or whatever pieces for Dragic...

Here's the thing D, I just think Murry never took full advantage of the opportunites given to him. Keep in mind I was one of his biggest advocates when Felton was playing like shyt. He was ok defensively, but he turned the ball over a lot, never seemed capable of running the offense and had poor decision making. Even Clyde was getting on him last night. Compare that to Cole Aldrich, who took advantage and made a name for himself when guys went for down.

My thing is I'm praying we can get a competent point guard next year. If that happens and Felton is somehow not in jail we will still have him and Pablo. Even if Felton goes to jail or is traded we are going to need veterans on the team. Either way it's :dabush: for Murry.

Mike Woodson makes one last plea to stay on with Knicks

Mike Woodson said he still hopes to talk to Phil Jackson about remaining as head coach next season, but wouldn’t say if he will help the Knicks team president conduct exit meetings Thursday and Friday with the players.

Woodson said he’d like to find out his status “soon” and he likely will in the next 48 hours.

Woodson is not expected to be retained to finish the final year of his contract and almost assuredly coached his final game Wednesday in a 95-92 win over Toronto, going out on a four-game winning streak. That Woodson said he “won’t comment’’ on whether he’ll join Jackson for the exit meetings spoke volumes about his tenuous status.

Despite guiding the Knicks to a 37-45 record this season, Woodson showed his swashbuckling side when he said, before Wednesday’s game, he still thinks he’s “the only guy’’ for this job.

“If they bring me back, I’m going to make damn sure this doesn’t happen again,’’ Woodson said. “I hope [I’ll know] soon. There’s been enough said about my job all year from you guys. Hopefully soon I’ll know my destination on where I’m going to be.’’

Woodson has one year left on his pact at about $3.3 million. The Knicks’ failure to make the playoffs after last season’s 54-28 gem has him on the firing line, especially with the notion Jackson wants to bring in a new coach to mold in his image.

“I don’t need to ask,’’ Woodson said about his future. “As a coach, I put myself in position to do the right thing and I think I have done the right thing unfortunately we had some misfortune in terms of injuries. I never used that once as an excuse. Eventually when that time comes, they’ll let me know what they want to do.’’

Woodson was asked if he’d consider staying with the franchise in a different role and said it depended what the position was.

Jackson has no pattern of dealing with coaching firings or hirings as he is in his first month as a team president. A league source familiar with Jackson’s thinking said he would be more “deliberate’’ than not.

Woodson said he doesn’t have timetable for a sit-down with Jackson, but it could come Thursday or Friday.

“We’ve had our little chats,’’ Woodson said. “Again the big chat will be my job security, where I’m going to be. That will eventually come, I’m sure.’

Come Draft Day, alot of shyt is going down.

I'm afraid of Laker retrends but I wouldn't be surprised if Pau ends up here this off-season and than we snag Marc in 2015.

You don't need a PG to run the Triangle, You just need a player who plays within the system. Thats why I keep saying Shumpert is gonna start as one of the defacto guards

Let's get this disclaimer out real quick... we are #KnickFam so we can disagree without "feeling some type of way"

I still disagree w/ you.

Think about Woody's rotatiosn and how the winning demeanor of the team was knocked out early.

Imagine Timmy & Murry on the 2012-2013 team coming off the bench. Look what having a winning atmosphere did for Chris Copeland. THJR would have possibly been in the running for Rookie of the year, if he was in Chris Copeland's place in the 2012-2013 season.

Keep Murry, let him get clean up time on a winning team, and he'll develop.

Felton SHOULD NOT be on this team even as a 3rd string. Package him w/ Chandler, J.R or Bargnani.

Also... Ron Artest should be resigned.
