small market teams can win you just need to get the right breed of superstar/supporting players to do so. All of you bring up teams that are ran wrong like the Bobcats, Kings, Magic, etc. but what about the Spurs and Thunder? Both teams have done a great job in brining in not only players who...
4.7 to 3.2 which is a HUGE difference considering that Lin would by far be the league leader while Gragic would barely make the top 10. Not to mention the fact that Dragic has already spent 3 years backing up Steve Nash and has been good over a much longer sample size than Lin's 2 months, when...
As I have said all offseason, I think either of Houston's now former PGs would have been fine options to go with.
You have a player as talented as Melo on your team, you can make it work. I dont get why everyone is all of a sudden so against Melo as being a cancer. Where were all these people...
15 and 8 doesnt mean %%%% if hes averaging 5+ turnovers to go along with that and cant work Melo and Amare into the offense. Its never about the numbers with your PG as much as it is about being the right fit for the rest of your team, which I dont think Lin is.
Its like Eric Snow back in his...
Exactly why we should have traded Lin for Dragic from the start. But at this point after we already %+##@% up by not getting Dragic/Lowry and they are both elsewhere. Yeah, you needa keep Lin. What other options do we have at the point?
I would have signed and traded Lin for Lowry as well. God damn, now all chips in on Lin
But now what exactly is Houston expecting to do if decide to match their offer for Lin? Whichever one of us loses out on Lin is now #+*#@@. We should have tried to make a trade with that team this summer. I...
Please, you really think that the Suns turned down Shumpert and gave Nash to a division rival out of spite to the Knicks? Suns make that trade in a heartbeat if we agree to give up Shumpert, but we didnt, and I think we will be better for it. Some of yall need to chill with this anger from not...
Idk Im just heated because I felt Dragic was a realistic chance to get a PG capable of running this team and maybe one of the last chance we will get to do so. With him leaving Houston and with Houston's interest in Lin I refuse to believe that there was no way to get a deal done. It just seems...
and Shumpert helps us WIN NOW. Hes our starting 2 guard. Tell me how can we beat Miami if we cant guard them? This isnt 2004, you dont trade Shumpert to get Nash. Knicks need to learn to make the best moves not necessarily the biggest. Go after Dragic.
Exactly. If they are willing to give Lin that $, and we should be willing to pay Dragic which they reportedly are not. What is stopping this deal from happening? especially since we could give Dragic the $ that he wants in a S&T which we would not have the money to do so in Free Agency
And if...
sign and trade. Rockets met with Lin today. Id happily pay Dragic almost $10 mil before paying Lin 5-6 over the long term. As you have all said we are not getting under the salary cap any time soon so it is all about which PG gives us the best chance to win moving forward, and in this case it is...
Lin and Fields for Nash... Make it happen Glen
I'm also really warming up to the idea of Dhantay Jones. If we could trade Fields in this deal I'd be fine with signing him, and using him as a role player behind Shumpert and JR. He's not great offensively but he is athletic and a very good...
theyre looking for a #1 option to have their young core play around they are looking for Dwight but it aint happening, Stat might have a long contract but at least that guarantees he will be staying with Houston which they cannot do with Dwight.
And yes STAT is another year older but he is...
this is the team to trade with, been saying it before all of these rumors. I truly believe we could help each other out. Id take any of those players mentioned, they have 2 PGs, they need a #1 scorer and Amare can offer that to them and I would trade them anybody else outside of Melo/Chandler...
