OfficiaL '16 NYK offseason thread, Melo goes to bodega in bathrobe and Olympic hat

[squatchnt]

Offense got stagnant way too often. Fish shouldn't have been drawing up plays for AA with him being overall cold. He hit some big shots in regulation though. That buzzer beater just rimmed out.

Galloway played great tonight, making big plays. Pookie really does get the job done. And D Will

Please don't tell me that was an actual play! LOL
I don't think KP needs plays ran for him too much at this point, he just needs to be on the court as much as possible. He has a knack to make things happen. He's open a lot in the context of the offense and he's not getting the ball in those open looks. When that happens it seems like his shot selection ain't great. KP seemed to force a few when he did get the rock last night. I wont call this one a moral victory but it was def a good game despite the loss.

For the most part I agree. My problem is however is the blatant exclusion of Kristaps for no other reason than he isn't a vet.

You have one of the most unique mismatches in the league and you refuse to let him learn how to handle himself in situations strictly due to some nonsense?

Hell it doesn't even have to be Kristaps. D-Will was very good last night, so was Galloway.

We got these young guys who were clearly performing yet they keep deferring to someone who went 6-21. Let them boys shoulder some responsibility, if we lose than hey whatever but at least give them the chance to put things away.

Watched the game last night and still not sure how we let that lead evaporate....

 

[squatchnt]

AA def black holed on us last night. KP, DWll, or Gallo were all open on that last play in regulation, LOL lopez might have been open as well

 

[sharpshooter718]

I like AA , but his defense needs work and he needs.to pass more out of the post.

Fisher needs to draw up actual plays , not an iso on the elbow which is so damn predictable.

 

[lver of jordan]

I'm actually surprised they managed to keep it close. Not mad with this team. Only thing is Derek Fisher but that's it

Woke up feeling the same way, Fish gotta go...

This right here is all I came to talk about. Fisher is very into treating KP like a rookie, to the detriment of the team. Son is a walking mismatch and we don't do much if anything at all to highlight that fact. KAT is going to be the rookie of the year and deservedly so. They find him in good spots and allow him to work. Outside of pick n pop, we never get KP the ball in good spots. He ends up having to try to beat his man off the dribble or pass. If KP is anywhere south of the top of the key we struggle to get him the ball. Our entry passes are terrible, especially from Calderon lol. Calderon has no clue how to run an offense. Even when we get KP the ball there's always someone rotating in from the weak side crowding the lane. 

It's whatever though. I want to make the playoffs this year but I'm more concerned about building for next year. We're not far from where we need to be.

Hawks Asking For Trade Offers For Either Jeff Teague, Dennis Schroder

JAN 27, 2016 10:11 AM

The Atlanta Hawks have been reportedly soliciting offers from other teams on Jeff Teague or Dennis Schroder. 

The Hawks have more recently been focusing upon Teague as the deadline nears.

Schroder will be a restricted free agent in 2017, while Teague's deal comes up that year.

 

[JJ Goon]

Seems we are interested in Jeff Teague

 

[phar0]

I like Dennis a lot more 

 

[squatchnt]

From what I've seen KP is not able to establish and hold the post position to get good entry passes in the post. Being that he's a 7fter with range and ability to drive the ball is the mismatch. Despite the skills KP has shown he is a rookie.

Ian Begley: The Knicks are one of several teams who have talked to Atlanta about a trade for point guard Jeff Teague,  league sources tell ESPN. (1/2).

Ian Begley: Knicks have limited assets, may have to get creative to land Teague.Yahoo! earlier reported ATL was listening to offers on the PG (2/2)

Calderon for Teague matches up salary wise

 

[phar0]

we've jigged the Hawks once lets see if Phil can do it again lol

i'm intrigued if we could dump Calderon or Afflalo i'm all for it.

only thing is Teague's on the books for $8M next season but that's not bad for a legitimate starting PG

 

[gregzzy23]

galloway and grant for teague yes or no

 

[johnnyredstorm]

galloway and grant for teague yes or no

Not gonna work financially.

 

[lver of jordan]

caldo and grant for teague yes!

 

[bm35]

**** I'll trade Calderon for a Hawks cheerleader and some floor wax at this point.

 

[olx9o]

I like Grant....dont wanna trade him

 

[donewithjs]

I like Grant....dont wanna trade him

Just like we didn't want to part with Landry Fields or Shump. You include Grant in a heartbeat for Teague. And we need to sell high on Galloway.

 

[you go boy]

This is what will take our team to the next level a top 15 pg in the league. we passed on teague before dont make the same mistake again. Picking up a pg through a trade before the deadline is a must. but if we wait and sign conley this summer works too

 

[ballinsam23]

Caldo, Grant, Seraphin, Lou can go.

 

[bm35]

Caldo, Grant, Seraphin, Lou can go.
