Official 2017 Knicks Offseason thread, Phil Jackson gone

[abematic]

Oh y'all love Melo now. Remember #InPhilWeTrust?

Never disliked Melo. While the nba thread bash him, I don't.

Seriously man, Horny gotta go now. How is dude barely coming to this when ALL THE DATA AND STATS prove this to be the best way to go?

1) trade Noah

2) Phil and his posse need to stay quiet PERIOD

3) solidify the rotations

4) fire Rambis

5) play with more effort on defense


if all of that happens, we can take the 5-8 seed. it seems like SO many things are going wrong, when really there only needs to be small changes. a little more effort to communicate on defense, slide over to draw a charge, and keep your man within 2 feet. let the players, that are going to play, know when and how many minutes they'll get. keep Phil from causing distractions. that's it. it's that simple.

Twolves are shopping Rubio according to Woj.

A Noah for Rubio swap makes all the sense in the world.

telling an $18mil a year player to come off the bench isn't that easy. i'm not giving him a pass for not doing it sooner, but there are issues with KP starting at center. however, i'll leave that argument alone.

 

[the 718 truth]

I know I just joined the thread this year but I was never 100% on that boat 

I knew very well that being a coach and GM were 2 different things

I didn't think anything could be worse than Dolan running the show but Phil has sure proved me wrong 

Funny how Dolan was the problem and we all got what we wanted when he took his hands off. We're still stuck with the same result. We're cursed.

Another pg who can't shoot or play D? We've got two of those. Is his contract expiring?

 

[floodarea]

I'd welcome this trade in a heartbeat

he's got two more years.


Noah or Rose for Rubio + Shabazz?

 

[the 718 truth]

I honestly don't think anyone is gonna take Noah. We'll hold onto him for a few years. Then right before his contract is up we'll trade him for another washed old man with a ridiculous contract. Sound familiar?

 

[harlemtothebronx]

That title, tho.

 

[njavier03]

like how we amnestied Billups when he had one year left, but we kept STAT on the team and continued to eat up like half our cap. or traded Tyson's expiring for Caldo?

 

[beh235]

Shabazz Muhammad is 57 years old tho

Standard operating procedure

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Anything to get Noaher outta here

True

Phil and his passive aggressiveness is annoying.

Either tell them man you want him gone or say nothing at all.

phil ain't passive aggressive. he plays mind games. he thinks he's better at it than he really is though.

he tried doing this with melo last year, but it wasn't quite the right time to make melo the fool so he started with baby steps this year when he said that posse remark about lebron probably guessing melo would have something to say about it and that's how this all started

carmelo cant make himself a martyr - what's the point? he's done and said the right things and everyone else has looked like a fool around him, but carmelo isn't ever going to win anything as long as he's on this team. both parties should part ways

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Good title change.

pr0phecy718 always trollin'.

 

[ballinsam23]

Rubio is a better defender than any guard on our team

 

[the 718 truth]

Melo will get a $10 million bonus if he waves the NTC? I guess he really does wanna play for this sorry organization lol.

 

[bm35]

i hate the fact we would do noah dirty but his contract is trash.

 

[everysingletime]

It must be nice to be able to say no when someone offers you ten million to go away

 

[the 718 truth]

It must be a luxury to be able to say no when someone offers you ten million to go away

Man I wouldn't even pack a bag. Straight to the airport.

 

[ballinsam23]

Main reason why Melo probably doesn't wanna leave NY is because of his family. Can't fault him for that.
