Rose helps the Knicks get to the lottery more than the playoffs though lol. People are kidding themselves a bit if they think he's going to regain 2011 form. Losing Lopez isnt a big deal in the big picture, but he was arguably the teams best player last year. Barring Porzingis turning into a star next year or a Durant signing...the Knicks will be flirting with the lottery.
LMAO
wtf
whats going on with this overating of lopez all of a sudden?
he played good for the second half the season
a season in which we won 30 games
first half of the seasonhe ranged from avg to horrible
he averaged 10 points and 7 rebs a game lol most of his really good games occurred when we were out of playoff contention
he did not have a better season than melo or zingis.
he isn't a allstar level talent, and he is a center.. which is porzingis's future position
we have a habit of holding out to guys longer than we should until they have no value
2 years ago tim hardway was "untouchable"
couple years before that, shump was "untouchable"
lopez is what he is, rather clear cap and have a chance at real superstars next year than to hold up to him when hes not a game changing/franchise changing player
noah can do everything he can do (if healthy) at a cheaper price
plus we got zingis' homeboy coming over.
lopez is not a exception talent and is not worth not having max cap space in 2017 and 2018
we good
