Seen the stepping down tweet debunked as BS by a few cats, not buying it. Edit: Here's a link to a reddit trashing the troll.

Please stop with the Jennifer Carr posts • /r/The_Donald

Seeing the commentary on Frye/Morris and how effective they were got me kinda hype. KP/Melo can do everything those two do and much more. If Grant or Wroten could get their jumper on point, I could see Hornacek rocking with both guys in the back-court and attacking with relentless pick and rolls from the two.

A starting line up of Grant, Wroten, Melo, KP and Lopez is exciting to me. The bench is what's going to worry me...especially if Hernangomez doesn't come over this season

We have more moves to make this summer. There are bound to be some interesting surprises. More outside the box maneuvering.

It could work but I would think there is Not enough reliable outside shooting from the guard position for it to stand up to heavy minutes. They would probably want to get an above avg 3 pt shooter to stagger with those two for heavy minutes. Somebody like Fournier or Crabbe.

I also think they need a combo forward to give them the option to play small. Lance is good I wouldn't be mad if they tried to find better. D-will if he is at a decent price might be worth keeping though I never felt he and Melo played great together because they both wanted the ball.

:francis: for somebody who loves to party..................

he really is everywhere but the playoffs.

has anyone forced themselves more into the spotlight than melo has? Maybe Harvey...but Harvey actually gets criticized. Melo's the most non-organic "star" ever.

I'm indifferent, wanted Vogel or Blatt, in that order, but def not mad about Hornacek. I just can't get the gif out of my mind with Stackhouse giving him the beats.

All the talk about continuity, and impromptu triangle sessions...does that shyt go out the window now for Hornaceks offense? Again not upset just wondering.

Yeah, it'd take Grant or Wroten really showing an improved jumper for the combo to work but they'd be a nightmare and drive and dish, space based offense like Hornacek's if just one of them could keep defenders honest. I'm definitely on board for either Fournier or Crabbe. As far as adding a forward, I'd be really interested in Dwight Powell for the right price. Solomon Hill really impressed me in the post season (I'd slept on him before that) too, pure wing but worth a long look since I assume he won't cost as much as the RFA's and other cats around his age.

:wow:

You been official breh

:salute:

Cookout at my spot this weekend. We gotta celebrate :blessed: Been workin on greens and red beans n rice recipes that's gonna have y'all :feedme:



:huhldup: Jimmy had more rhythm Melo

He looked like he thought this was a good idea RIGHT UP UNTIL the music came on. :sadcam:
Dude aint black and I tried ignoring him but he wouldn't go away. I had to use force :yeshrug:

:mjlol: You prolly look like prodigy's nerd cousin. I got khaki-pleated goons that'll stomp you out in sperry topsiders. I got dudes that keep exactos in their pocket protectors. I'll throw you in the hudson and do your mama's taxes, to make sure she doesn't get screwed out of her proper annuities. I DGAF. I'll run up on your girl and pay for a new york times subscription - the full version, not some weekender bull, I wanna make sure she sees what's happening in the world 7 days a week. Plus the revamped arts section is bomb. You should check it out. I personally think their magazine is better than Time now with some of the recent editorial hires, but I can't call it, man. Your girl is just gonna have to be the judge.

Run up on me, breh. I'll break your collarbone, pay for your ER visit, get you to the best orthopedic surgeon in the city (he fixed Ryan McDonaugh's shoulder! My dad plays squash with his uncle!), I'll comp your physical therapy and work on your resume, to see if we can get you an internship. You know anything about new media? No matter, I'll get somebody to teach you some coding too. My cousin does all the cyber-protection for the TV networks, he goes by Shark Zuckerberg. You ever heard of him?

Do you enjoy smoothies? They just put a juice generation in my neighborhood, blood. After that rumble, you're gonna be dehydrated, and you'll need to replenish nutrients - they got this new guava, orange, and ginger mix. It's a banger. It'll have you back to health in no time. I'll even cop you the whey protein boost if you're looking like you need to put on some weight. I'm way into complex plyometrics lately, I'll link you up with my personal trainer! His name is Vladimir!

Knicks' Decision to Hire Hornacek Just What Phil Wanted

Looks like it was close to being Blatt until Horny came in and crushed the buildings. Also says here that Hornacek was the first interview scheduled, which is a bit odd because it happened so much later but who knows. I like that this dude mentions how Phil has been saying it's about a system rather than about the triangle from day one, that's been my reason to wait and see who Phil hires all along.
