Put Some Hornacek On Our Game: 2016 New York Knicks Offseason Thread

[Mosiah Supreme]

Phil is destroying Knicks with that triangle bullshyt. Just let hornacek coach in his own way.

 

[Ironman]

How long is Phils contract until again? I'm actually going to get annoyed if this becomes a habit on the new season.

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Phil really needs to learn his role and stop meddling. You got a good coach, so stop overstepping your bounds and let Hornacek coach the team how he sees fit.

 

[Wargames]

I mean we're reacting from a tweet and the knicks have a collection of Bigs who can pass the ball well in Noah, Kyle, KP, and Willy. That might of been the best play,

Also Hornacek's run it style or not I don't want Rose trying to ISO drive a shyt ton since I am hoping he makes it through the season

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Alright, after reading the article that quote came from, it was a practice session that was specifically for teaching the triangle. In that case it's perfectly fine for Phil to get involved.

Or Noah :philjacksonlolhat:



I have a feeling we are going to regret signing him.... Another Amar'e situation minus MVP Amar'e that we got before we traded for Melo.... There will be no MVP Noah, dude will miss at least 30-40 games every season, if not more.


I have a bad feeling, brehs

The difference between now and then... The Knicks traded away all the good pieces for Melo so Amare NEEDED to stay on the court for us to play well and he couldnt. We don't NEED Noah to stay on the court. Him being healthy and playing well will help us reach another level...however the talent level around him is just as good and/or better. PLUS we're already in the process of grooming his successor at the C spot. If Noah can't stay on the court he'll just be a semi-expensive bench center with valuable experience that our star center doesn't yet have. We should still be fine in that case. I'd be more worried about Rose than Noah.

They kind of need Noah to stay healthy. They'll be awful defensively if he's not in there.

Knicks rookie with catchy nickname may be Carmelo’s backup | New York Post

The sharpshooting blond is penciled in as Carmelo Anthony’s backup at small forward after he averaged 10.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 22 minutes per game in the Olympics. Lithuania lost in the quarterfinals to Australia, so Kuzminskas did not meet Anthony until arriving in New York for voluntary workouts in early September.

“When I got here, he asked me right away how was the Olympics and about my team,’’ Kuzminskas said. “Such a big player to know something about me, I felt immediately better on the team. Every day I pick up something from him, defending him at the practices are unforgettable, priceless.

“It’s really exciting to be here with these players, to practice every day against my position players — Carmelo, Lance Thomas. Great lessons and huge experience that will help me in the future.’’

Jackson has hailed Kuzminskas’ perimeter shooting, saying he can even turn into a shooting guard. The Knicks president still is concerned about his strength. Kuzminskas played the last three seasons for Malaga of the Spanish League.

Still nervous about his defense, but the hype about his offense is deserved.

Cheese?

If he balls out I'm calling him my Kuzzin.

Joakim Noah skips out on Knicks' dinner with West Point cadets

With consent from the Knicks, Joakim Noah decided against participating in the annual dinner with the cadets and listening to a speech from an ex-colonel given the team at its training camp at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Noah, a pacifist, says he's uncomfortable with his surroundings.

"I wasn't there to be honest with you. It's hard for me a little bit. I have a lot of respect for the kids who are out here fighting. But it's hard for me to understand why we have to go to war, why kids have to kill kids around the world," Noah said. "So I have mixed feelings about being here. I'm very proud of this country. I love America but I just don't understand kids killing kids around the world."

They kind of need Noah to stay healthy. They'll be awful defensively if he's not in there.

They might be awful defensively regardless.

Our best defensive lineup would include a player with a non-guaranteed contract.

PG Ron Baker
SG Courtney Lee
SF Lance Thomas
PF Kristaps Porzingis
C Joakim Noah

We knew before he got here that he was gonna say a lot of dumb shyt. It's just our blind luck that this trial coincides with his arrival
