So a Frenchman, Latvian & Spaniard Walk Into Bar, Melo Takes All The Shots Offseason NYK Thread

[Wargames]

I think they're gearing up to run two PG sets. I don't care if Frank starts or subs in tbh, they just need to get him 20 mpg or more.

But they paid Hardaway.......

When I say 2 PG sets, I don't mean they'll necessarily be the only two guards on the floor. Hardaway or Lee would be able to work in this new small ball environment for spells and Hornacek had real success doubling up his PG's in PHX. I still think they try to move Melo up to the last second it's possible and if they move him, we'll have Lance or Beasley as our primary SF; that'd leave plenty of minutes for the small ball runs.

Hard to see Dotson getting any type of playing time unless Sessions gets completely dropped out of the rotation or one of either Melo or Lee gets traded.

knicks are about favortism
not talent
you know this
baker got that contract because horn in love with him
point blank period

So we think Hornacek is running the front office, now? That's how this works?

I still hope they're gonna look to move these vets but I have a sinking feeling that the hold-up is to see if they can make a run now that other teams have gone into rebuild mode. There's a PG logjam, C logjam and the amount of training camp invites going out makes me think they're not expecting any motion. Dotson looked promising, I want to see him get playing time. Even Baker...dude just got a decent raise, he needs developmental minutes to be worth the payday.

I am openminded about the season. Its whatever. I will be here though.

Timmy 6th man, we need that scoring punch. Lee got the 3&D, brings more balance to the starting rotation.

Dennis Smith more NBA-ready, more ready to get buckets day one. Frank projected to be better down the line, more versatility, more defense, more length, higher IQ, untapped athletic potential. Like I said he could be productive but in a bench role and become starter later on, think Giannis in year one for Milwaukee where he was trusted to guard guys like Melo and Kobe. The thing should be to get him 20-25 minutes.

That's just my projection he could be a KP, and be more NBA ready coming out of Europe than we think.

Knicks did not pay tim hardaway 74 million to come off the bench
He just finished starting for a much better team

Knicks new statement jersey is wack. Looks like some El Mundo discount store knockoff

Knicks should've been had a black alternate jersey .

But that Kemba joint with the Jumpman logo is a first day cop

I've been wanting an alternate with Harlem in black letters across the chest for Black History Month.
