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

[slick vitale]

Dwight doesn't work in a fast pace offense.

His best year was in the half court system.
He can be good if he sacrifice and do the role that small ball offense are doing now

Those peak Orlando years (07-09) they finished in the top 5 in pace and overall efficiency.

Pretty sure we were joking about Dwight


I hope it's just jokes

 

[Mr Dink]

I just wanna say, as a Lakers fan I'm pretty bummed KD won't even entertain a meeting with the organization. However, if he's willing to meet with the Knicks, I hope you guys get him since my wife is from NY and my brother-in-law is a Knicks fan and I wanna see him finally happy. Hope you guys get him.

Porzingis fan, too.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Melo and KD

I know it's doesn't mean anything but hey lol

If we can get Jamaal back and Noah, then we definitely had a good offseason

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Crawford has to be 35 or 36 years old now, the f*ck you want him for ?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I honestly rather overpay guys on one year deals and let them go than give four year deals and limit our cap space next year

What's good with this Rondo/Rose backcourt.

a 15 percent 3pt percentage backcourt

I think D12 would be fully motivated and ball out since he knows he wouldn't be the focal point if he comes here. All the people saying he's washed obviously didn't see him play that much last season

seen him play enough... he's still trash... if dude was 4 inches shorter he provably wouldnt even be in the league... howard has no post game, no passing out the post. No offensive awareness beside rolling to the basket for an alley oop... dude is trash kid, dont bring that bozos name in here again

 

[nick.]

Dwight's not trash but i don't want him anywhere near NY for $18-20M

That's my concern. And in this market, I could see it possibly happen.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Stop talmbout Trash Howard. This guy is bunz personified. If he ends up on this team, that'll be the equivalent of trying to run with a *** full of ****. Kobe seent it. Dude hasn't gotten a lick better since coming into the league. He was an athletic beast, but now that he's hampered, only his flaws are on full display.


Hope the Nets pick him up, tbh.

 

[nick.]

Dwight put up 14/12 on 62% shooting in 32 minutes last season.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Stats are one thing, locker room attitude is another thing to keep in mind.

Definitely. Just tryna say Dwight Howard isn't washed yet.

 

[the 718 truth]

Y'all wanna bring one of the most emotionally fragile players to ever grace the court to a city dominated by the media and savvy fans? Son will be on the back page in tears everyday.

 

[big j 33]

No to Dwight for several reasons.

His back is shot and despite being able to give you some production, it won't be worth handing out a 4-5 year max contract.a

Even with the rising cap, do you really want to hand out a max deal to him? I'd rather take the risk on another big free agent this year or next.. hell I'd rather just spend that one two mid-tier free agents instead.

And finally, I'd rather have more time for Porzingis to play at the 5. Not that I think he'd be that much better there, but that Melo at the 4 is the better idea as well.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

I don't think Melo and Rose is taking any BS from Dwight. He knows his credible is shot and would have to be on his best behavior. He's still a really ******* good defensive player and rebounder.

 

[nick.]

I hope we traded Lopez to give Porzingis 25+ mpg at center.

Really not a fan of giving Noah big money & big minutes.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Keep Derozan far, far away from NY.

Keep Dwight far, far away from NY.

 

[njavier03]

Crawford has to be 35 or 36 years old now, the f*ck you want him for ?

Didn't he just win sixth man? We could use him off the bench.

 

[nick.]

I'm good on a 36 year old inefficent chucker who plays no defense.

Rather give that roster spot to a young guy with upside.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Ron Baker is our best perimeter defender right now, That's a problem. Bring in Pat Bev

the second option

I mean we're not getting Biyombo. What other big men who can run a bit are available?

Dwight's not trash but i don't want him anywhere near NY for $18-20M

Only one year deals.
