I look at him like offensively he could be a wilson chandler type of scorer if he gets that 3 pt shot down.:ehh:

Defensively I expect a lot of struggle in the future:francis:

Yea he is what he is, hope he can contribute off the bench

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Knicks need to start Grant and Porzingis, that's really their best bet for next season.


Calderon is basura, and Williams is a rotational bench player, that in mind PG is probably the biggest hole on the roster outside of depth. The starting 5 should be good enough to make the playoffs, but beyond that they need to come up on some mid-season buy out guys like the Rockets did with Smith.

I'm satisfied with the free agency, would I loved having LMA or Gasol? Ofcourse I would, but we had a long shot at getting these guys

the only thing I'm disappointed about is these two didn't even take a meeting with Phil which I find very disrespectful to him, our organization and our city, I know our team and our owner sucks but Phil is one of the greatest basketball "guys" ever, he deserved atleast a sit-down.

If any team has an offseason where they add Lopez, Afflalo, Grant, and Kristip, they would be given an A+ rating. But since this is NY, people hate on us.

Obviously we won't be competing for no championship next yr or the next with this roster, but we damn sure will be competing for a 6-8 playoff spot.

I know I'm gonna get hate for this, but I honestly feel we should of taken a chance at Rondo for that same 10mil deal, I know he would be terrible in the triangle, but they should of said fukk it to the Triangle and grabbed him and Jordan. rondo, afflalo, melo, kristip and Jordan sounds like a top 4 team in the East to be honest.

Whats going on with reggie jackson? Not saying we will or even have a chance to sign him, but I still haven't heard anything about him

It's Not a Just About Losing, They Were Bad Environments, Hopefully This One Will Be More Positive

He's not that good, the environment has little to do with his weaknesses, defensively he's just :ld: at his absolute best. Dude is like a more polished non dust head Michael Beasley.

Splitter ain't no Zaza breh. He's a legit decent NBA starting center. Hell, he's legit as good as Robin Lopez who you just paid 14 mil for. We ain't got no money. It's gonna have to be through trades or sign someone like Wes Johnson and hope we can turn shyt into sugar.

he's been a reserve in a pretty well stack front court where avgs 19 minutes a game playing alongside with Duncan, Diaw, Bonner, and Blair. I don't expect that to change to much since you guys play small ball well. Hell probably still avg about 20 minutes for you guys. :yeshrug:

No they don't. They need to play both when their ready. Don't get me wrong, if Porzingis and Grant busting ass in practice, pre-season and summer league, start them but they need to be brought on slowly. The triangle ain't one of those offenses where you can just throw a rookie in with no quarrels.

That's all we expect. We aren't starting Splitter. He's a legit big we been lacking off the bench who can produce at the five.

Both are better than the alternatives, which is a dude that cannot play defense, and a guy that is best suited for coming off the bench. They have enough veterans in their starting 5 to get away with playing their two rookies.

Now, it all about signing bench players. The one thing the Knicks got is guys like Galloway, Antetompo, Smith and Grant off the bench. Add Porzingis and you got a nice little core. It's all about Melo now. If he's elite offensive Melo, you guys can be legit. The one thing I like about this FA for you guys is you got a team.

Lopez can rebound and defend.
Williams is good at cutting and moving around on offense. He can score in spurts. Not a true starter but he's holding time till Kristaps is ready.
Affalo fits any system and can play with Melo and doesn't need high usage.
Melo is Melo.
Calderon isn't a triangle PG but he can set things up and hold the fort till Grant is ready to start.

I like that Phil is getting a team. Now you do need a 2nd star but you needed a team more than that.

Exactly, the Knicks got an actual NBA roster again, hope the team gels and start a foundation for the 2nd star needed
