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

[ny mavurs]

Anybody ever think how well off Melo can be if he posts up more?

Higher percentage shooting, could have frequent trips to the line more, force double teams maybe and kick it back out to shooters....

Oh yea and watching the playoffs makes me realize we're light years away from being a good team.


I for years have just wanted to see this team straight up suck and stockpile on good draft picks. Then splurge on FAs before the rookie contracts are up.


It's the ultimate way to take advantage of dolan's pockets (since the hypothetical plan would put the Knicks into a crazy luxury tax situation) and the fact that NY is an FA destination when we aren't a circus.

Too bad everyone bought the narrative that you can't rebuild in NY.

All while winning 20-30 games a season, trading away draft picks and signing over the hill stars.

I'm still mad we didn't use our decade plus of sucking to actually rebuild.

But hey, at least we got to see T Mac and Steve Francis in Knicks uniforms.

and Rasheed Wallace, Baron Davis, Jason Kidd, Dikembe Mutombo, Vin Baker, Penny Hardaway, Mike Bibby...

Still waiting for Vince Carter to sign with the knicks

I can't wait until we sign Steph Curry in 2025

 

[lver of jordan]

NY will always be a circus lol

KP working out with Willy

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Chris Herring is gonna be on with Benigno and Roberts

 

[ny mavurs]

I need to watch more tape on Willy

Some of y'all in here are giving him a glimmer of hope

 

[goldenchild9]

One KP puts on some muscle, it's a wrap.

Offensively and defensively, he's gonna own the paint.

 

[8pm at msg]

Wonder if Phil is gonna try and get Willy's younger brother too.

I drew a blank after those two, but man.

Worse than I remembered.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

not gonna be able to listen

make sure to post cliffs in here when he's donee

It's nothing special honestly. Just he doesn't think we'll get the tier 1 free agent, maybe a fournier or datum, doesn't think phil's star power is enough for a durant because of the lack of involvement from phil, doesn't really know much about the coaching search but says dolan will stay out of the picture.

So nothing we didn't know. Thanks for posting anyway.

...

Maybe Phil goes after Ettore Messina now that the Spurs are eliminated?

 

[phar0]

[johnnyredstorm]

[phar0]

Kind of shocked Dolan is still staying away from the decision making process.

 

[paulminus]

If we sign Batum does that eliminate our chance of Westbrook next year ?

Only if we give Batum the max because the cap is going up again plus Caldo is off the books.

I have seen that he's been doing a lot more of the band stuff. Dude needs to sell out and go full on musician. We don't want you here anymore.

No, because there would already have to be a chance to be eliminated in the first place
