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

[donewithjs]

Austin Rivers is beyond awful. He's only still in the league because of his pops.

 

[keko jones]

We're building a team in all the wrong ways. Cant blame them though, gotta win one while Melo is still here.

NY is building the only way are able to do so ... We don't have any draft picks ... We don't have any assets ... What can we do?

The only people that should worry are those that even don't have a glimps of a star or a young prospect with potential. They will be mediocre with no hope of a lottery or a first run playoff and out. In a couple of more years we can tank...

Austin Rivers is an NBA guard that gets stripped like the kid on the playground that just learned to play ball.

But he does do some good things too.

Guess he'd be serviceable in limited minutes of the bench but I'd rather we look in another direction.

Gallo is better than him.

Knicks could get to $16 M in space, maybe a couple million more, but Heat has $20 M in space.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Who's gonna get on that Rose/Wade/Melo/KP/Noah PS?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Wade ain't coming...it's all a scheme. Wade is a scumbag

I'll never forget what he did to Chicago back in 2010. Dwayne Wade is a scumbag to the highest degree. This is all smoke and mirrors.

If we did sign Wade, it would make things VERY interesting out East. But then again. Clev hasn't done anything yet. I think if Wade was to go anywhere, he'd go to Clev.

I want Markelle Fultz... I would say there is at least a 50% chance this team blows up in our face. At least. 

But **** it aim for the bushes and draft well if we need to again. If all goes south we let Rose walk, draft a PG in a LOADED PG class (might be too early for the hype, but I honestly think this could be the best PG draft class I have ever seen), trade Melo for assets, and hope Noah doesnt **** us too badly. 

Oh yeah, just to reiterate something I have said in here a couple of times, I would never ever root for a Knicks team with Lebron on it.

[kingfoamnyc]

Scumbag D Whistle can go **** himself. Nobody believes him and probably just wants to steal a little shine from KD's free agency circle jerk

Glad KD told the Knicks that he will not play for us instead of making us wait for his decision

Now we can move on

Let's fill out our needs

Yep time to keep the ball rolling

*waits for a "Phil couldn't get a meeting with Durant" article from Isola*

 

[kingfoamnyc]

KD a whole *****. Punk *** probably gonna go to the Warriors

 

[goldenchild9]

We never had any shot at KD. Honestly, he'd be a compete idiot to leave OKC. They're at the doorstep of an NBA championship, he's playing with his friends and they can pay him dozens of millions more. Absolutely no reason to leave.

D. Wade on the other hand....I know he's a scumbag who loves manipulating teams for his financial benefit but I think theres a legit shot of him coming here.

[nick.]

ESPN sources say the Knicks have made a four-year offer to Courtney Lee, but Lee has a variety of suitors and is working through the options

not Eric Gordon!

 

[bm35]

KD ain't built for NY. He look like a herb, didn't think he would come here.

 

[keko jones]

We haven't traded any future 1st round pick. We have our own first round picks from now.

For second round picks, Knicks did make moves

we do? Man I haven't kept track on that ... That's tight.

In that case it seems that Phil is playing the odds ....

We stay healthy we are going to be competit6, if we break down we are going to. Have a high lottery pick ... Nice.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Who wants to play with Greg Monroe :x dude is the epitome of "meh"

 

[nick.]

Surprised we're not making a run at Crabbe.

 

[d3si]

Is Crabbe that even good? To be honest, I barely remember him playing for the Blazers

 

[rillo561]

No D. Whistle please
