You're right but I don't see the knicks doing that. So the best move might be to continue to get assets (like Willy in the second) and build through the draft. I would also like KP to get some playoff experience while he is young so he doesn't develop into a regular season star and learns what it takes to go the distance. 2 more seasons isn't the worse. Especially if Melo and Rose, or Rose and Noah comes off the books at the same time. That is some good money for FA.
Knicks fans are the ONLY ones that keep saying "KP needs help"

OK I will play along:
How does a young star benefit from a ball dominant PF who continuously eats the ball on the wing?

Rose will help KP more than Melo can ever pretend to dream of.

If the knicks had Wilson Chandler on it right now it would be a top 3 team in the East, but that is another conversation.
So no Melo era? Break this down how you think this is even possible?

Oh, the not trade and just sign Melo in the off-season? Yeah the knicks should have done that.

“Without Melo, it would be much more difficult for me to get those 30 points, or 28. People don’t realize that. But that’s how it is. He draws a lot of attention, and he’s the main focus for the other team. That opens up stuff for me. So without him, it would be much more difficult.

“I’m happy to have him and D-Rose and guys who are really aggressive driving to the basket, who draw so much attention for me to be able to get those wide-open looks and then attack. It’s good sometimes that we have that. Without them, it would be much more difficult.”

Straight from the young bull's mouth. But people LOVE to ignore this

Melo has a NTC.... Also he keeps teams from double teaming KP and he's actually holding onto the ball less this year..... Anyhow the question is about keeping Rose and I said I agree with it. There aren't that many moves the knicks can make. The fact they haven't already started to brag about Rose coming back is actually them not doing the normal Knick thing. The next step would be to try and get him for 3 years.

Why are you so angry:jbhmm:

I actually agree with you on the Wilson Chandler/Melo offseason move. However, Melo wanted his money, Dolan thought Amare & Melo would of been a great Duo, and secretly I think they wanted a more durable star anyway which is what they got.

:hubie: It was a old regime.

We in the Phil Jackson era, and the smart move is to sign Rose to a 3 year deal, Then see if they can move him or let him come off the books with Melo and Noah and be part of a playoff team.

Also as for the Lakers, Wolves, and Philly. They got more assets sure, but who knows what will happen. The Thunder could of been the GAWD tier team and broke it up, and the Rockets and Warriors benefitted from it. The Warriors built a beast team all around but they struggling to live up to their own hype.

All you can do is try to make the right decision in front of you. Maybe the knicks have more options come FA for PG's, but if Rose is the best option willing to go to NY, you try to get him on a reasonable deal and build up around that.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
And tanking for multiple years is a sure route to championships huh. No wonder Philly & the Timberwolves have deep playoff runs....oh wait...


:dead:

Just a heads up breh, the last time the Sixers made the playoffs was 2011-2012, the last time the Knicks made the playoffs was 2012-2013. Both teams made it to the 2nd round, such a huge difference. So, the Sixers are getting criticized for tanking when the Knicks have done the same thing basically but without the Embiid, Simmons, Noel core or the 2 lottery picks they'll get this summer.

:what:
Is he even playing right now? This dude stays hurt and it's always some new shyt. Not even re-occurring shyt. Gallo too. I bet neither has ever played 70 games in a season. If Wilson is active right now, give him 2 weeks. He'll be on the injured list before the end of January. Guaranteed. :comeon:
I really wish ppl would stop acting like we gave up a lot with these 2 oft injured mufukkas. Have either even earned so much as player of the week? Month? In their entire careers??

This is about 1 of 3 or 4 threads I visit on thecoli. I never go in other team threads. Is it championship or bust for every team or is it just the Knicks? Mufukkas in here shytting on 5-8 seeds?:why: The playoffs are a waste if you're not a contender??:beli:

I think I'm beginning to "age out" of this shyt....:dame:

Brehs come in here and want to continue bringing up past GM decisions intertwined with what they believe the Knicks should do.

It's not even concise...it's almost purposefully filled with fluff and so convoluted that no one can tell if it's what they think we should be doing or a critique of what's been done.

Typical coli shyt...

Brehs having a end of year final and instead of solving the problem the hypothetical presents, they spend 3/4 of the time complaining about the stupidity of getting into the situation the hypothetical presents.

fukk all that bullshyt.
------------------

Anyway... So Chris Paul isn't a free agent until Summer 2018.

That leaves D. Rose, Jrue Holiday, Steph Curry(shouldn't even mention him), Jeff Teague, and Shaun Livingston as the top PG free agents this summer.

I'm really interested in what alot of yall have to to say about this...

"This team ain't going to be shyt for atleast 5 years."

^ How people describe any team that is going to be a lottery team until they finally become a team in playoff contention.

"This team ain't going to be shyt for atleast 5 years."

^ How people describe the Knicks until they become an irrefutable championship contender rivaled by only the Warriors..


Breh's literally came in here and said "well, Philly was in the playoffs a couple years ago!"

nikka, how is that a positive for Philly but a negative for NY? All I hear about is how the Wolves have a core, the Pelicans might make noise this year, the Bucks have been successful.
:damn: :damn: let's just give Rose the max.
:whoa: Ask that man to take less than max, for sure.

I'm with the school of thought that goes to the table and using his injury history and the things he likes about NY as an advantage.

I will also not want to give him a deal that forces us to have no team option in the year that Melo's contract has expired. I want all the money and ability to build around Porszingis as possible that year.
