if phil was interested in a complete rebuild, he shouldnt let melo walk last summer
he wasn't.
he resigned him and made promises to bring talent to the team
he hasnt done that yet
so yes, phil has gotta do something
zingis is not going anywhere
melo has about 3 years left at playing at a high level
mayb 2
build a team around him without sacrificing too much long term
don't give up any more draft picks
theres more than enough talent and trades out there to be made if phil does his job and falls back on his ego
if it doesn't work, you do do a complete rebuild with zingis in 2-3 years
if he's even worthy of it
if you think players are coming to the knicks to play with porzongis right now, you are on crack
it might be different 2 years from now, if he establishs himself as a star and has some playoff runs in him with melo and other talented players
we still have no idea i how good this kid zingis really is
lost in all the phil/melo drama is how poorly he has been playing as of late
hasnt had a double double in almost 2 months
i don't have to tell you how many rookies have had standout first years and did nothing afterwards
we can't jump to conclusions about him, or put too much pressure on him. hes struggled in games melo hasn't played
melo is here, players like him, phil should be using that to his advantage
