Stunts, Blunts & Basketball: The 2013-14 New York Knicks Season Thread

[JMurder]

What is this infatuation with Shumpert?????? Faried plays defense and he REBOUNDS. He shoots over 50% he doesn't need many touches to be effective and he's the same age as Shumpert. Shumpert on the other hand is a career 39% shooter.

You're the first person who I've ever heard say "Faried plays defense"

I mean I'm sure he tries, but I've never seen evidence of him actually being good at it. And Faried probably shoots over 50% because he's not particularly fond of shooting jumpshots

The only benefit Faried would bring to this team is energy and rebounding. On the other hand, you're bringing in another power forward who will clog the paint so you can't start him, and you can't play him at the same time as two of our three best big men. Meanwhile, you'd like to give up one of our few ball movers who keeps the offense moving, and our best wing defender because he's going through a shooting slump.

Trying to shout "infatuation" doesn't make you any more correct about Faried not being a good fit with THIS team. Now if you're telling me this team is gonna be shifted around throughout the year, then I'd say...fukk it, let's do it. But not as a move to immediately improve our team.

The New York Knicks have been trying to pry "primary target" Rajon Rondo by sending Iman Shumpert, Raymond Felton and Amar'e Stoudemire to the Boston Celtics

Broussard saying Boston only takes Amare if the Knicks take Gerald Wallace and Courtney Lee, who both have contracts longer than 2 years.

Gerald Wallace and his contract would be a Knick.

I want no parts of Gerald Wallace.

Gerald Wallace is ASS. 3 years and 30 million for a wing who can't shoot and whose defense is eroding.

Fits right in with the Knicks philosophy

If Boston would trade Rondo, Lee and Wallace for Shumpert, Felton and Amar'e...not sure I'd say no brehs

not sure if the contracts match up tho

Well answer this question then @Trip

for a team who wants another superstar alongside Melo, who in the world do you even think fits that bill?

I dont think there is one.

 

[tremonthustler1]

I dont think there is one.

I figured you'd say that.

Knicks going after Rondo, Love, sometimes I think the Knicks aren't going after those guys to pair up with Melo, but rather as a contingency plan for if Melo leaves. No one will bytch about Melo leaving if you're replacing him with Love and someone who's just like Rubio since you can't get Rubio

shyt I hope y'all get Rondo. That would damn near fukk Love out of the big markets except Chicago
