Phil's Drunk Messin' With The Association Save Again: Knicks 2015-2016 Tryout / Off Season Thread

[OsO]

Melo thinks he'll play the 4 this year.



Melo at the 4 is a scary sight.

Grant/Afflalo/Williams/Carmelo/Lopez

Derrick Williams no defense playing ass fukks up everything.

Why play Melo heavy minutes at the 4? Knicks have way better lineup options with Melo at the 3. With Melo at the 4 you have Williams at the 3 or Clean at the 3 or Sasha at the 3

i guess playing melo at 4 allows spacing, he should be faster than most 4s in the league and i think our best recent year he played the 4 a lot. personally i think it's weird to play him at 4 after coming off an injury

I just hope the knicks are looking for mismatches. They have a weird roster but if the goal is to force teams to adapt to them it could work out in the end. It was that same weird lineup that forced to teams to try to adapt to Melo at the 4 that got them those 54 wins.

Calderón
Grant
Aflallo
Melo
Lopez

Might be the better starting lineup but it leaves limited choices at the wing off the bench

Because Melo can't guard wings anymore. Do you want the team to give up a barrage of open 3s?

 

[Wargames]

Not for nothing this need for a decent wing makes me hope the knicks get evan turner to be a distributor at the wing in 2016.

 

[tremonthustler1]

believe in Porzingis in due time.

Is the assumption here that 4s can't shoot 3s or that we have a lot better options to guard wings than Melo?

Melo can't guard wings, period.

Williams and Melo at the 3 and 4?


Bruh that's like a Tarmac to the rim

We have no other option at the 3. We're fukked unless Afflalo moves over. Then We have no depth at the 2 other than Galloway and Sasha.

Calderon can't start at PG because he's too slow to guard starting guards. I rather see him coming off the bench for relief minutes against lower quality guards.

Our team is one big mystery when it comes to who gets minutes.

That wasn't the question tho

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

why not Kyle O'Quinn at the 4? Orlando was experimenting with him as a stretch 4 right?

New thread should have a straight forward, no-bullshyt title. No funny horse-shyt this year

Something like "Forget the Past, Forge the Future: 2015/2016 New York Knicks"

No puns, no play on Phil/Melo/Porzingis/the triangle...
