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

I don't think they giving up Capella. And we wouldn't be able to get 21 and 22. It'd have to be 21 and 23. Or 20 and 22.

Capella gotta be involved or they can kick rocks. Why wouldn't we be able to get a 21 and 22? Why does it have skip a yr?

Give me gordon, capella and 2021, 2022 first round picks. By that time those should be real high picks

I don't see that happening. Also, if Melo was smart he'd force a buy out instead of gutting Cleveland/Houston of depth through trade like he did when he was traded here from Denver.

Also, if Melo really wants a ring he'd go to Cleveland.

It was put into the CBA to stop teams from mortgaging their futures. You can't trade back to back 1st round picks. They traded 2018 so the next pick they can trade now is 2020. In 2019 they can trade that pick tho I believe.

Phil's man wrote an article about his firing.
Rosen | Analyzing Phil Jackson's Tenure With Knicks

Having just read this, it’s pitiful how biased this guy is towards Phil. I understand he’s your mans but golly he’s on some major That would put many others to shame. 90% of the piece is him shifting on players with very little objectivism.

I don't give a fukk what melo wants. If he wants to play for the rockets or with any of his buddies we need something in return. The knicks should not buy him out

I can't believe we really got really got rid of Phil I dead thought the news was

Thankful for KP, Frank and Willy but this nikka really sucked the soul out the team with his triangle and media bullshyt

And he signed Noah

Yeah... Don't let the knob hit you when the door close Philip

If Melo is really interested in a trade to the Wiz, see if Ernie is asleep at the wheel and try to get Porter & Oubre.

Props to Porzingis. Apparently Phil wanted to go meet with Porzingis in Europe, but Porzingis never responded.

Melo throwing that middle finger was the final straw and that's likely what got Dolan to stop listening to himself sing and said oh shyt, my NBA team is not doing well.

Phil doesn't understand the new nba or how to interact with players . He also is a idiot who doesn't realize you can't embarrass a player into accepting a trade . Phil is a idiot

About damn time.

What's the over/under for Masai Ujiri potentially coming in?

He just signed a 5 year extension last year
Story sounds completely made up

I found out this morning. I didn't have to log on to work right a away so i was sitting on the throne and checking out things on my phone like i usually do. I checked my Google news and I saw the espn article saying that the Knicks and Phil parted ways. I had to rub my eyes and make sure I wasn't seeing things. When I saw it was true, I started shouting and singing.

But then almost right away I started thinking, y'all couldn't have done this BEFORE the draft?

 

[23Barrettcity]

He was clearly trying to make one last attempt to build around Melo so he traded for Rose and signed Noah. The shyt obviously wasn't working so he's been in the process of cutting bait. He wanted to fully emphasis the triangle and was trying to make moves this off-season to do so. He should of went this route from jump but it's NY. If his first move when he got hired was to get rid of Melo yall think the city would of let him do that?

Why hire Horny to coach ?

Porter doesn't have to cooperate. He's an RFA
