I agree that he should be able to get 5M per....but since he hasn't yet....I asked if anyone felt it was a possibility we could swoop in with our pennies and grab him. It was a question. You brought JR Smith and logic (??) into the equation. But since you brought him up....I'm sure JR would be much more comfortable if he was signed. I don't know shyt about the Cavs or their cap situation. I believe they have space. I don't know what the hold up is but I'm sure it's tied into LeBrons deal. See below about Lance...

I like those two but we REALLY need a third PG imo. Even if just to rest Rose or Jennings once in a while.

I think we do too but I'm not thrilled with what's still out there. I wouldn't have been mad if they brought back Felton or picked up Aaron Brooks. They gone now. Sessions I don't love but he'll do as a 3rd pg. I think he's a FA. Dunno if he's been signed yet.
Thats why I said Lance because as a 3rd PG/playmaker he'd be a steal if he can be had for the min. And maybe signing for the min may be the humbling experience he needs to act right.

Did you read the article breh?

Q: Knicks fans always have high expectations, sometimes maybe not even grounded in reality over the years. Before last season, Melo came out on media day and talked about managing expectations with such a young team. But with this roster now and all these veterans, what should the expectations be for the Knicks?

ROSE: They're high. I mean, with these teams right now, they're saying us and Golden State are the super teams, and they're trying not to build that many super teams, and Adam Silver came out with the statement and this and that. And the expectations I think of us, we just want to win. Talking to Melo and all the guys who've been around. You've got Brandon who just signed for one year, he's got to show why he's there. I've got to show why I'm there. Joakim has to show why he's there. Everybody's trying to prove themselves. When you've got a group like that, it's like, alright, I know everybody wants to do that, but we're going to break this down as simple as possible, and try to win every game. I think winning takes care of every category, as far as being an athlete. You look at endorsements, being on the floor, almost everything -- I think winning takes care of all that. And if you're in the league, winning takes care of all the mistakes, or if you have any problems on teams.

Cousins cites Carmelo Anthony as his favorite player of all-time.

“I’m a fan of any player with skill,” Cousins said. “ ... Melo being my favorite player of all time, I’m trying to pick his brain every second I can.”

Cousins and Anthony are teammates on Team USA.

“It’s dope,” Cousins said after a recent practice at the Mendenhall Center. “I enjoy being around him. He’s got so so much experience in this game. It’s well known that I’ve been a Melo fan my whole life. Just to be able to work with him daily is going to help me become a better player. I’m excited for it."

No lie... every player in the L seems to respect Melo. Even Bean said Melo is one of the only players in the league he would consider a friend.

Sun is like Vito in Godfather.

I remember watching game one of the WCF series with Denver vs LA when Melo asked to guard Kobe and coming away saying that Melo would be top five in the league from then on out. He got hurt in that series and never hit the same level of play, but that game one duel is one of the best I've ever witnessed. That's how you earn respect from one of the last killers in the league (though I think they were friendly before that tbh).

Let him cook.

His game is something we can dissect.

But his confidence level and passion are exactly where it needs to be.

In my mind, I'm the strongest, smartest, wisest, dude in the world.

Luckily, I have the control not to actually act like it - it wouldn't help me in my career if it's not controlled.

But Rose? That type of confidence is nothing to criticize. Let Rose believe he's on a superteam. :salute:
