No. No no no.
Not really sure what that accomplishes, so I don't see it happening.
I like Bazemore, but he's hit a real slump of late. Hoping he can pull through, and get back to how he was playing for the first two months of the season.
Here's the problem... him demanding a trade and forcing his way out of Denver and into New York is what set the team on this course in the first place. Basically gutting the knick roster of depth in order to get to New York. Then he got here, and the team didn't have complimentary players or picks... well, yeah, we traded them for you.
So I'm not gonna cry for melo. I would like to see him surrounded by better players and a better team... but the Knicks sold out for win-now(ish) veterans like Melo/Amar'e and Tyson (and fukking Bargnani) -- and now they're dealing with the fact that those guys had shytty returns. Phil also sold WAY low on Tyson, who didn't fetch half the price Mozgov got three months later.
Short-sighted decisions got us here.
I tried to explain to everyone before last season, and again before this season, and again DURING this season -- the Knicks just aren't that talented. They had no depth and a shytty coach. It's a multi-year rebuilding process, that only truly started this passed summer, when we were able to use our well-earned lottery pick.
This summer we will have some space and some flexibility to try to make some more large or small improvements, which is what we did last summer. Small upgrades in personnel, good deals for better players. Last year the Knicks won 17 games. This year they're on pace to win 30-34. That's improvement. We still are not any good, but it's improvement.
The big offseason moves need to be
1) Find a fukking coach that can fukking coach. You see the difference Brad Stevens makes on a shytTY Boston roster.
2) Upgrade the guard positions. Even if it's not a super-deal for Conley (which it should not be) just getting more competent players to put KP and Melo in easier position to score.
There are some very interesting late 1st, early 2nd round players you could purchase a pick and acquire. Cornelie or Jeanne, LeVert or Monte Morris, Payton II if you believe he'll develop offensive feel, Grayson Allen if you believe in grayson allen.
