Right now, there aren't any great options on the block. The closer we get to the deadline, the more that will be available but the bigger the threat of completely falling out of things. I don't even know what we could consider right now...I could probably be convinced to deal Calderon for Crawford even as bad as he's been, just because he at least expires this offseason and it'd automatically speed up our pace since Calderon's more methodic...but that's the kind of deeply flawed options we're looking at with our limited assets and the known options out there.
Well, I think there are different kids of playmakers, but I agree that he's not necessarily what this team needs, not on the first unit, at least.
Lance and a pick for Calderon? The math works
but I don't want either of them. I guess you could also work out a deal around Jamal Crawford? He's expiring. NBA Trade Machine - ESPN
Just spitballing and messing around with free time.

Jamal Crawford though? How is he gonna help our pacing/playmaking issues? All he's gonna do is take shots away from Porzingis/Melo, etc.
Not really surprised about this. Since the start of the 2012-2013, Knicks have been ranked 26th, 28th, 28, and 24th in pace, and finished last in fast break points EACH year.

I'm just looking at available players with comparable deals.
Jamal Crawdord would put a better playmaker in the second unit, move grant/langston to point in the first?
I don't think he or lance are necessarily worth the investment. The risk on lance, specifically is too high.

They also don't have all that many athletes in their current lineups.
Shid, I'm tryna get both. Calderon and KOQ or whatever works.

That's how I see it. You consider Crawford because he's an expiring contract that moves Calderon off the starting line-up and forces Fish to use somebody that will improve the pace of the offense, be it Grant, Galloway or Crawford. I'd only take Lance with some kind of compensation, too much potential drama.

I think he should be an All-star. He has potential that I don't believe has ever been seen in the history of the league.
We need to bench Lopez and move KP to C and melo to PF. The offense is so much better with Porzingis at Center.
I think gallo should start

One thing I love about NY fans (among many things), is you guys are consistent. Anyone who doesn't bring you a ch'ip can get it. Ewing, 'Melo, anyone. I believe y'all would come for Lj too, and that's impressive. I think you're the only fanbase with the guts to come for him if he was a Knick and y'all didn't win. Y'all want a ch'ip and you deserve one. You almost had one in '99 but Ewing got hurt. People come for y'all for being hard on Ewing, but I realized people should let y'all cook because you've waited a long time. On top of that, you guys will say "the team is trash", but then you're right back watching them the next game. So, you want to win, but you still love your Knicks. There really is no fanbase like y'all. It's really something to watch. Just giving y'all props once again for being the best fans in the world. It's true.
In other news, I think 'Melo has shown that when he gets healthy, he'll shoot better than he ever did because of this system. When he has shot well in the system this season and preseason, it was rarely the 45% that he normally shoots; it's been mostly in the 50's and 60's. I don't know what it is about the system that helps him to put up those percentages (when his leg has that pop that he's still trying to get completely back). It's not like his shots are wide open, but there's something going on there.
