NYK '14 offseason thread

[the 718 truth]

In regard to Indy, I know I am going to get flamed, but I don't think PG is quite there as the "man" , he will be, but for now I think he has a way to go. Roy head isn't right, the only thing 1 I think is consistent on that team is D-West

I'd say perfect assessment. PG is wayyyy overrated.

Awww man , the mere mention of Charles Smith's name gets me real serious. Could make me walk away from a blow job ..

Sorry man. But yeah, he has that effect.

@ Larkin's swag after a fast break. His dad's facial expression was probably like you should have dunked on.

EDIT: just read an article from NY Daily News about a black guy died after a cop put him in chokehold in Staten Island. The guy didn't have any weapon and was taken down by five cops.

This years SL team > last years Knicks team

Knicks should take a look at Tony Mitchell. Always been a fan of his game and he looks better than hes ever been.

Im very surprised hes not with an NBA team right now. Knicks were looking at him with our first rounder last year. Great athleticism, good size, and his scoring/shooting looks like it has come around.

Larkin has wheels man. Could be a Ty Lawson type

Yea his quicks and all around athleticism is great. Lawson is built like he could be an NFL player though and is a legit NBA starter. Larkin seems like he's much more likely to be a high energy bench guy like Patty Mills.

Great comparison.

Ly Lawson is much bigger and stronger than Larkin.

Don't mind this at all either

If Melo retires with the nyk without a ring, do you think he'll end up like Ewing as a coach or Starks ..... idk wth he do

 

[hsalem]

Tony Mitchell is a BEAST, man

Outlet to him on a fast break and watch him drop the hammer. the garden would go sooo wild

 

[8pm at msg]

He'd go live off his milliions. Melo doesn't strike me as a coaching type, doesn't really have the charisma to stand out as a broadcaster or anything of that sort (though that probably doesn't matter). He'd make his appearances at the Garden and around NY and so on.

So who's down for a summit at La Marina restaurant in Washington heights this weekend?

 

[chillbroswaggin]

Someone on the realgm board posted this. Pretty informative on the triangle stuff we're running during SL

 

[8pm at msg]

The young guys might grasp it faster than our older guys at this point. Less to reprogram also.

*Insert Summer League disclaimer here*

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Nice vid. Triangle isn't impossible to learn, just need patience and understanding. Eventually, it'll just click with these guys. Really is a beautiful offense when run efficiently.

 

[phamo]

Thought it was the easiest .........as long as you know the fundame ......nvrmd a lot of work will need to be done.

 

[clyde the glide]

melo can feast in the triangle.  more off ball movement should make the game much easier for him.  calderon and prigioni will also get a lot of open looks.  didn't realize how well pablo shot from 3 last year

 

[mrdozo]

This years SL team > last years Knicks team

This years coaching staff > last years

this will hopefully translate into a better regular season team

I wish Prigi would shoot more, as does most of NY

 

[losalmighty]

I try to care about these SL games, but i get bored quickly.

I hate summer league games unless I'm there at the game. Having a successful season is key to free agency next summer. Nobody will want to come here if it doesn't look like we doing something.

 

[ballinsam23]

those bball summits were even though i only went once i think

Melo don't seem like he'd want to be a coach at all.

I'd see him failing as a TNT analyst 10 years from now though.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Melo, LeBron and Kirby are gonna be the TNT crew in a few years.
