I'd prefer him over Sasha, too.

And I'm not sure Lance is low-risk, if you're concerned about chemistry. I'm also not sure he's really dedicated to the craft anymore.


Knicks PR.
He was just balling in Memphis
U woulda sworn lance caught a body or punched a fan by the way he's been blackballed for no reason lol
There's this stigma surrounding his name like he's Ray rice and its becoming very bizarre

And it is high reward, low risk. We already have our rotation. If he don't fit, we cut

he's not blackballed, but he's one of those guys where you don't see the point in praying he pans out. The reward doesn't outweigh the risk. He'd have to have the biggest comeback tour to get it back on track and I don't know where that will be (I thought Thibs would land him)

Especially with the Knicks FO, they've pretty heavily avoided guys with locker room reputations and gotten rid of the guys who present any locker room issues (Smith, Felton, Tyson and AA).

Funny you mentioned him and Ray Rice in the same sentence. They both beat the shyt out of their baby mothers.

Agreed. Zingis doesnt have the thickness or the circumference Carmelo has, hes not built to give the pounding to other players like Carmelo. What im gettin at is we need Melo beatin up other players in the post softening them up, Porzingis and Rose's job is to play the role of robin and take some of the pressure off Melo's ass
Boy you gay as hell on folksnem grave

I don't necessarily think you understand what "high reward low risk" means. What exactly is the high reward?

I have always liked lance's game. I knew he was an NBA player when most writers (and definitely most posters) were saying he wasn't shyt, and would be playing for the second division in la liga... But he's wildly inconsistent, his ability to distribute has fallen the fukk off, and he never really developed into the defender we hoped he'd become. I still think he's a force in the open court, I actually DO think he would be useful for the knicks... but if they are worried about him being able to stay focused in New York, well so am I.

For the most part, I tend to reject the "he's a distraction" tags on players... and I think with right coach and cast, he really could still flourish/revive his career as an impact player. But I don't think he can do that in new york. Which is a shame, because I think melo would be an AWESOME influence on him, and I think Hornacek is creative enough to really put him in great positions.

But the city and its lifestyle is a lot to handle. JR Smith admitted it got he best of him, his family and people aren't here.
