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

[seemorecizzy]

what 'several' ways?

ive been watching the nba a long-time...and team-ball wins championships...

iso/one-man-gang ball doesnt....its good for the regular season and highlights but when the game slows down and youre playing the same team for a week...not gonna cut it

and you dont necessarily need other 'stars', it doesnt hurt...you need good complimentary players....

melo hasnt lost a series on the knicks because of too much "iso ball"
hes lost cause he played better teams
your not understanding that for some reason

i understand that...but part of the fact that those teams are better is because of the way he plays....

if melo 'starts' winning...how much you wanna bet his style of play will be different?

Man, shut up. He forced his ass over here and made the team deplete all their assets because he wanted his money. He got what he wanted, upped his profile, put up career highs, give us a winning season/took us to the playoffs(championship was never feasible), and now he wants to weigh his options. I'm frankly tired of Melo ball and dude didn't want to buy into the same philosophy of moving the basketball that's made The Spurs successful and what's Phil is preaching right now. You can not sit here and tell him how shytty our basketball experience was watching The Knicks play this year and how jarring that was in contrast to how The Spurs played. If they give Melo what he wants, we're gonna get the same kind of play from this team -- Melo getting his while the team just stands around with their dikks on their hands.

woodson and dantoni have traumatized you.

the offense will look completely different next year.

Melos style of play was different when he played with Kidd 2 years ago.... Still lost in the playoffs because his teammates either shyt the bed or got burned out.

How would you feel about getting into the late first/second to get Kane from Iowa St? Combo guard could start right away at either spot....I know he's older, but I think he'll have an impact from the jump.

How good is his pg skills ? If not I don't think we need another guard

That's what I was figuring he'd play point. But he can play both....agreed we have too many guards as is, but we know Shumpert cant play the point.

I hope Fisher will incorporate ball movement>>>isolation And, with Melo celebrating his bday with The GOAT, partnering with Fif SMS Audio, aren't those positive signs for us Or, am I just a naive New Yawker

 

[GatorStaceyAdams]

Iono yall


Bron Opting out separate from his companions definitely takes the spot light off of Melo. This may be a net positive for the "Melo stays in NY" Camp

quick question what happens to the knicks cap if they were to trade tyson chandler to a team that could absorb his contract like the suns for some picks?

Someone answer this man..

 

[Harleminthe80s]

I see what you are trying to do but don't forget Bargs is still a Knick and takes a big chunk

I would honestly send Shump & Chandler to Phoenix if it could put us in the position of getting us some space to make a move this year.

Stat...sigh...I understand you want your money, but could you have waited a couple of more days to opt in...

Couldn't we have done a restructuring of contracts w/ Melo, Stat and...

 

[AntoineWalkerShimmy]

Imagine if STAT had opted out instead of opting in

How come Dolan doesn't have the muscle to have Amare harassed into opting out?

Dolan holds no weight in these streets...sending the goons is more of a Donald Sterling type thing unfortunately
