2015 NY Knicks offseason thread, Los Almighty appreciation thread

[nick.]

THJr needs to take that step this season or else he's gone at the deadline.

become a more willing passer, have better shot selection, be an average defender, etc. something that shows improvement

Amy Schwartz: One month before free agency begins...and LaMarcus Aldridge's Portland home is for sale. Take it for what it's worth. #Blazers Twitter @TheAmySchwartz - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors/tag/portland_trail_blazers#sthash.XwahwpTT.dpuf

I hope we've all been underestimating the presence of Phil in office. Hope he has the voice to get a big name here, one thing we never really had was a presence like his.


4th pick to Denver for Lawson + Will the Thrill or Faried


M. Gasol or Aldridge
Draymond / Faried
Melo
Afflalo
Ty Lawson

Wishful thinking

I aint sending that 4th pick to Denver unless Demarcus Cousins somehow winds up coming back from it. I would much prefer Mudiay to Lawson. Both arent ideal triangle fits, but Mudiay at least has size and a much higher ceiling IMO. You gotta try and sell George Karl on his ex players Lawson/Faried.

hope we find a way to pry Danny Green from the Spurs

[johnnyredstorm]

I like Lawson but I'm not losing a pick to take on his salary. That's not the move we need to be doing. Stay put, draft Mudiay sign Aminu and a big, move on.

That'd be nice if any one of his family is a die hard Knicks fan.

Curry didnt get his max contract yet, Warriors still have to pay Darymond and Green.

I'm glad we have 2017 and beyond but that Bargani trade still gets me mad....

 

[the gr8est]

Eh asterisk the Triangle.

I just wanna see them play cohesive ball.

Agreed. I just like the triangle because it is a system that preaches team ball and cohesiveness. I do not think it is smart to "live and die" by it though, especially with Mudiay, like I was saying yesterday. However, I do not want to go away from the triangle, because I like the selfless elements it preaches as well as getting the players to read and react to the defense in the half court. It is really tough to prepare for when running smoothly in that regard.

But, I am still all for drafting Mudiay, moving Melo to the 4, and getting out on the run, as I said yesterday. Up to Fisher to mix the triangle with the players. Get the Knicks out on the break, spearheaded by Mudiay (a PG obviously unlike Phil has ever had), but also incorporate the teamwork based principles/spacing of the triangle. I definitely think that is important to do, and Fisher is capable of doing it (especially after divorcing Mrs. Fish this summer so that he could hopefully marry his job 

)

I like Lawson but I'm not losing a pick to take on his salary. That's not the move we need to be doing. Stay put, draft Mudiay sign Aminu and a big, move on.

Yup. Agreed.

 

[nick.]

towards the end of the season we ran less triangle & more PnR and our efficency was way up

we just didn't have the personnel to win games

 

[the gr8est]

Technically, you can run pick and rolls in the triangle. Triangle isnt a set bunch of plays as much as it is a way to space the floor and reading the defense. Its just that typically it is much less reliant on pick and roll sets compared to most offenses today.

IMO it would be just as stupid to completely give up on the offensive system that won out GM/Coach a combined 16 championships (after one down year with AWFUL personnel, nevertheless), as it would be to completely run the slow paced "prototypical triangle" around Mudiay. Incorporate elements/principles, but build the offense around the personnel and likely Mudiay. We can have our cake and eat it too, if Fisher adapts.

The Uncharted series is unequivocally the best franchise in Sony's lineup and maybe the past 5-7 years. Every game got better is all aspect as well. The story, graphics, gameplay, multiplayer, controls, cinematography all improved throughout the series.

Can't wait for the 4th installment.

I never drive into Manhattan, but anyone know if I drive by hospital of special surgery around 7:30 am-ish if I'd be able to find street parking? And also would I most likely be stuck paying meters/being limited on time I can park for?

I work there. Parking is extremely hard to find lol. But once you find it, no meters. But some ppl come to work an hour early just to find parking. Unless you're willing to pay the public parking lots lol

Ha, I work at Presbyterian and show up a couple hours early to make sure I find parking.

At that time, if you're patient, you can find parking. If you don't, I'd go to a garage for the early bird special. At most, $20 for the day until 7ish. Those are for the close garages too.

Thanks for the responses, repped both

I actually got really lucky. Found parking by HSS and then visited the Frick after and found parking there as well.

Monroe getting a max contract???

 No wonder the Knicks are always in cap trouble.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

his max is something like 5 years 63 million which is fair value for a guy his size with his skill set.

 

[njavier03]

anyone else excited to see thanasis actually suit up for us next season?

 

[donewithjs]

anyone else excited to see thanasis actually suit up for us next season?

i was hoping they brought him up at the end of this past season.

 

[nick.]

we have him under contract for another year or something like that because we didn't call him up
