Once again I think your being overly optimistic. A lot of things got to go right and for all that depth we have 1 PG in Baker (who I like) who also needs time to develop.

Like when a team tanks they do it in the FO. Not having a PG besides Baker and a rookie (Frank Nitty) is not how you get to the playoffs. It is however how you jump start player development. Yeah The Kings made the moves needed to get to the playoffs by adding veterans to the roster.

Also I still don't see Melo on this roster at the beginning of the year and if he is they are going to limit his minutes because they want the youth to get minutes.
Melo not getting traded.he only wants to play with either Bron or cp0. And nobody wants love or Ryan anderson so.......

Gotta wait and see what happens. He wants to move and the Knicks want to move him. He just has to open his list of choices and teams like Portland (who want him) aren't scrubs.

Just keep him. We gave up so much to get him why harm the team even more going into the future?

Just keep enough cap available for the possibility that we could crate a super team. If not just rebuild.

Man...feels like the Melo issue will hold up moving KOQ (who we really should try to get compensation for before he opts out), Courtney Lee (who we've replaced in the starting line-up and could garner a nice asset or two in return plus cap space) and maybe Lance Thomas (who I actually think sticks around because they like how he contributes to the culture but I wouldn't mind moving)...so it's straight up no news until a Melo move happens but then I think we'll have a lot to talk about not just off the deal but off the aftermath as well.

I can't see Hardaway starting over Lee.

Please God bring Kyrie to the Knicks.

KP and Kyrie for the next 7 years :banderas:
If this does happen and since Melo wants to go to the Cavs in addition of wanting to go to the Rockets, do the salaries match?
