NYK '14 offseason thread

[Coupé It]

I'm more than cool with tanking to land Wiggins.

That's what we're doing right?

 

[don ramon]

Also there are rumors that the Knicks are actively looking to trade Shumpert.

pretty unbelievable - the nerve, i mean, but these rumors have been lingering so it seems more credible that it could happen than not

i fail to understand the psychology here of wanting to trade him. trade value? open up spots for other players (rookies)?

it's a constant revolving door - picking up good rookies in drafts and then getting rid of them a couple of years later as a way to keep options open

sounds a lot like the dating world in nyc where people are always trying to go for the next best thing, but end up all by themselves at the end of the day

 

[don ramon]

go troll elsewhere you creep

I would like to keep Shumpert, but I can see how it makes sense. What is Shump's ceiling? What is THJr's ceiling? They probably see THJr having a higher ceiling and considering we do not have a draft pick until 2015 they can get a need with value in return.

 

[wavechappelle]

Only way I trade shump is for a first round pick in this years draft

 

[JJ Goon]

bobcats beating the knicks is the espn highlight of the night 

feelsgoodman and there aint a damn thing yall can say cause yall aint won **** since our existence.......hell yall never won **** when the hornets was originally here 

Still small time, Go take yourself somewhere else b

 

[don ramon]

i'm kinda surprised by the felton hate on this page. he didn't have a great game last night, but he also didn't have a terrible one. he's been playing fairly well
i do agree that he's probably not the kind of pg we need to lead us effectively, but landing a great point guard seems to be our most difficult hurdle for the longest

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Trading Shump would be dumb. I can't wait till Bargs and Stat are gone. Both are worthless.

 

[7thave btn 31stn33rd st]

This playing STAT 10pg is stupid. Every time he touched the ball he turned the ball over expcept the dunk and somehow he was +1 last night.



The offense has had ZERO flow in the first 4 games. Priggy and Felton have to be on the floor at the same time, the small lineup works.

 

[Mark Antony]

Felton is for real the only nba player i've seen with a beer gut. Even Chris Paul's fat baby build is better, pause.

 

[don ramon]

i agree with this

there's a lot of energy with the dual point guard set up

 

[pr0phecy718]

Tyson out for 4-6 months

 

[losalmighty]

Felton isnt the problem and switching isnt the entire problem. Its when we switch that is an issue. APG can be misleading, especially since we can throw the ball in the ocean and a ton of our offense is ISO ball.

 

[losalmighty]

Tyson is out 46 weeks. peace ya'll

 

[7thave btn 31stn33rd st]

Tyson out 46 weeks according to Los. Eddy Curry is available.

 

[nick.]

@NY_KnicksPR: During last night’s game versus Charlotte, Knicks center Tyson Chandler suffered a small non-displaced fracture of the right fibula.

@NY_KnicksPR: Further tests this morning showed no ligament or nerve damage. Surgery is not required. He is expected to be out approximately 4-6 weeks.

F***

 

[beh235]

4-6 weeks. I was close.

 

[7thave btn 31stn33rd st]

Where is Ike Diogu to make sense of this?

 

[Hahahaha]

Our season is over, Carmelo goes to LA and Amare starts next year

 

[deebo cole7]

Well with Tyson gone...

Shaq and Charles win.

why couldnt kemba run into Amar'e. He's my favorite player, but man does he look useless. SMH

Amare would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life if Kemba ran into him.

 

[misterdave]

loosing Tyson is huge. looked like he was the only one in regular season shape. Knicks will miss him big time.

now why did they keep chris smith again as opposed to some big?

if they trade shumpert, theyd be more than stupid.

i fail to see the downside (unless the injury means he'd still count towards the cap)
