My Posse's On Broadway: Official NY Knicks 2016-2017 Season Thread

[storyteller]

Pat Riley is in his 70's and wants to compete at all costs. Sure Melo doesn't make them a contender, but he can talk himself and the fanbase into believing that Melo will be that go to scorer that the Heat desperately need.

The Heat don't have that many options to improve/stay afloat, and Melo is one of the few options. Not too mention there isn't a dominant team in the East, so that may give Riley extra incentive to go after a perceived star in Melo. If Melo is down to go to Miami, this idea of a trade has legs and Riley surely would be interested.

Honestly, Dragic and Whiteside are the perfect running mates for him. A PG to take the ball out of his hands and a Center who can intimidate SF's that fly by him toward the rack. They'd make him look a lot better than the Knicks do for damned sure, not sure how far up the ladder it'd move the Heat but with all those grinding defensive types he really does make sense. Melo always was a good match for a AI's run to the Finals type squad where you surround him with tough defenders, give him a smart PG and let him do what he does which is score.

Trust the foreign scout team...

People who are still on that Rosen is taking through Phil narrative are idiots

Rosen ripped Phil twice in the last article. One for lowering Melos value by ripping him and then outright blaming him for the teams struggles and how it was built

You think Phil is ripping himself

Phil>>>

It's clear Phil wants an international team

Dude probably spews that old man rhetoric about domestic players being less "skilled" all the time which I believe is BS.

hope that kid is good because I'm almost sure we'll take him if he's available.

He's 18 though and I like his physical profile, I see the potential just thought he'd be more explosive.

Lets hear what Mr. Phil is going to say.

Press Conference on fb and MSG channels too, don't let the media paraphrase him on twitter for drama, tune in and form your opinions before the media can frame his speaking for you.

Unless Rose is signing for a dollar and a Arizona Ice tea, dont bring him back

Ice Tea needs to be based on production, though

@ phil talking bout melo like he's a 38 year old washed up ring chasing bum

smartest thing he's said in years

The only way I will accept Rose back on this team is for a 1 or 2 year max contract with the 2nd being team option. If we over pay for this bum like we did his buddy Noah, I'm gonna be upset.

If Melo really wants to go to the Clips, we should take back a player like Reddikk who we can flip for a 1st rounder and future 1st round picks, I'm talking 2019 and 2020 picks, by that time the Clips we'll be a lottery team again.
