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

[Mr. Jack Napier]

@Malta is a diehard Knicks fan. Breh is from Brooklyn. He cool.


@Mr. Jack Napier I do agree with you though, breh. shyts gotten out of hand.

He's not a Knicks fan, he's stated that a few times before.

Well, I don't know that this is true.

They certainly have an eye for international talent. But they're picks of college players are as follows:

Jerian Grant - Taken over Bobby Portis, Rondae Hollis Jefferson, Larry Nance Jr. and Norman Powell.

Cleanthony Early - Taken over Jerami Grant, Nikola Jokic, and Jordan Clarkson

Tim Hardaway Jr. - Taken over Rudy Gobert, Andre Roberson, and Allen Crabbe

And last year, with PLENTY of intriguing talent left on the board in the late first and into the second, they refused to buy a pick and add another potential young piece.

Now, the draft is all hindsight. So it's easy to nit pick. But they've had 6 or so picks over the last three years (plus the opportunity for another one or two) and turned that into 1 star from the lone lottery pick, and one role player, who they found while scouting KP.




Nah. Noah's deal is a disaster. He's exactly who we thought he was - an aging big, with no explosion left, who can't cover the court the way he needs to, can't elevate, and has absolutely no ability to make him a threat on offense.

I like noah, and always have. When dudes hated on him out of college, I loved his skillset. But he can't compete with the kind of athletes he's expected to play against each night, and it feels like his offense has even taken a step back from where it was. He still passes and plays hard, but this is the kind of guy you should be paying 6-8 Million per to be a vet presence and a backup, not 72 million to be a starter.

That's on phil, and this goes back to what I said about the Knicks scouting department up top of this post -- they should have known, all of this was on tape.

This "he'll step it up in the playoffs" shyt is a dream. And before you make the playoffs and likely get booted in the first round by a top 2 seed, you gotta play 82 games. It's a shame, but denial isn't going to do anybody any good.

At no point did I bring up his contract. It's what it is... It's not gonna change. My concern is whether he's bringing more positive than negative to the team

 

[Shogun]

we brought him here to improve the team defense and to be a distributor on the court. He's doing both...

He'll step up in the playoffs and bring both of those talents up to a new level which we're gonna need against the better teams in the East

he does it every 4-5 games
fam he just had 2 points and 3 rebounds yesterday lol
u talkin bout him like he a killer
he has had his games, overall hes been unwhelming
im willin to deal with his 0 point bullshyt if hes getting me 10 plus rebounds and some blocks
if hes doing neither, he needs to sit
westbrook had like 15 more rebounds than him

Noah's contract is lookin' awful; fingers crossed for a new CBA including a one time amnesty bad. But the good news is that Willy was more NBA ready than I thought and hopefully he develops fast enough to be our reliable big man more quickly than expected. KOQ is looking like a solid back-up C too at a good cost. Three starters averaging 20 ppg over the last few games; we really coulda used my guy Biyombo to make the defense roll

That amnesty is how we got rid of Chauncey instead of Amare later on.

As much as I don't like O'Quinn he brings a lot more utility to the starting line. Can shoot the mid-range, occasional threes and has played well defensively.

The Knicks fan base is too impatient, one game at a time please.

Honestly, though, the anti-Knicks fan base is the one that's really impatient.

LOL, I watch a game..when they lose... I immediately think about The Coli lames, Isola, Berman and twitter bottom feeders... shyt is just 'Sgust.

 

[jwinfield]

When you factor in that NTC, I can't see too many fits for Melo besides Houston or Chicago.

Nah, we cool.

[seemorecizzy]

melo isnt leaving
yall having senseless convos about it every day like it will amount to something
lets deal with reality

 

[Brozay]

He lost all his lift, hes finished

 

[CantStop]

He lost all his lift, hes finished

The worst part of it is that he wants to do so well for his home team too. It's not a Luol piece of shyt Deng situation where he just doesn't give a fukk.

Reality is we're on a treadmill until Melo (and Noah) are gone. The silver lining is that hopefully KP can develop into a better player being surrounded by veteran all stars who, at the very least, can take the heat of losing off of him.

Honestly, I aint mad. If it was just KP and a bunch of young prospects he'd get crucified, probably injured, and end up leaving in free agency or another bust ruined by NY.

so what exactly do you want? lmao
you sounding you gonna hate no matter what we do
we are not a treadmill team. minus the noah signing, this is probably the first time weve had a team with assets, free agent flexibiliy and an draft pick since kidd was around.

if only phil did his job sooner
