NYK '14 offseason thread

Hope we resign Cole World.

Who?

J. Cole in the NBA?

Norris Cole?

A couple months ago I thought next season would be a lost cause. Now with Phil making good trades & acquiring draft picks I think we should finish at least 5th in the East, assuming Melo comes back.

Often times a lost cause is better than a 5th seed. But in Phil I trust. Especially if we can keep Melo on the discount. If Melo does bounce though, sign me up for the lost cause.

3rd in the east if Melo comes back.

5th regardless.

i think we make the playoffs regardless if melo stays or not. its not like we actually have bad players on our team. theyre just a bunch of underachievers that have been playing for a lousy coach.

Here we go.

Another Kerr move if you ask me, we know damn well we can't pay Pau unless we rob Pete, but that good ol Phil Jackson/knicks speculation gets you the money you ask for these days.

The Knicks should put Calderon, Prigioni and Gasol on the court at the same time and speak in Spanish so teams can't understand what they're saying

 

[the gr8est]

Of course we make the playoffs next season... The Knicks only really suck when they dont have a draft pick 

 

Cant wait for the 17th overall pick!!!

 

[ny mavurs]

I'm probably in the minority here but I see this team with Melo being better than the Pacers

Thats if Lance doesn't sign back with them

instant buckets

The Knicks are trash, guys

Let's not do what we did last year. We were here saying we'd be the 3rd seed and we barely won 35 games. Without Melo--we're a lottery team.

This didnt even cross my mind but it should. We're forever used as leverage

do we even have a first round pick for 2016 or is it 2017 

 

[you go boy]

EVERY odd year we have a draft pick but in2018 we actually get to keep it

 

[don ramon]

pau to the knicks would be wonderful. i feel like he has a lot left to give still, but was just in a bad spot the last couple of years

if phil can pull this one off, man....

 

[Coupé It]

I think Pau goes to OKC.

If we do sign him tho, I hope it's max a 2 year deal.

 

[Renaldo Balkman]

if Pau doesn't come here I hope he stays west... a healthy Amare > Pau anyway... but a healthy Amare + Pau would equal a East Conference Final

 

[ballinsam23]

I wonder if Phil can push Pau on a 1 year cheap deal. Then a bigger deal next year if we get his brother to compensate him for taking a cheaper deal now.

How old is that pic anyway?

Oh, please! Phil Jackson isn't coaching.

We were so confident last year we'd be a better team adding Bargnani. Some people were shocked to see why ESPN "experts" where saying we'd be a 7th seed. Don't get your hopes up guys.
