Making Melo a lifer and waving at Felton in Rikers: Knicks offseason thread

Prigioni

:carltonscare:


We can run 2 PGs again in the 2nd unit.

 

[The War Report]

Early's offensive rebounding.

15 pts 10 rebs for Cleanthony Early

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Early can ball. Thanasis is most likely going to the D-League or Europe for development. I didn't like Larkin at first, his game picked up as Summer League went on. He's active defensively and his floater is effective, unlike Felton. I now see him taking some of Prigioni's minutes because he's more aggressive offensively.

How do you guys feel about Shannon Brown? It seems like he's the odd man out. There isn't any room for him on this roster, and I don't see him getting much playing time if he makes it.

 

[The War Report]

There's already enough 2 guards.

 

[Wargames]

I think they might keep thanasis. Fisher brought over some of the Thunders developmental coaches so in theory the knicks could develop him in house and he can ride the pine while he develops

Calderon/Pablo/Larkin
SHump/Hardaway/Jr/Ellington
Melo/Early
Bargs/Amare/J.Smith
Dalembert/Cole

thats 14.. assuming we make nomore major moves, I dont think Tyler makes the team i think his unguranteed contract gets waived, Thanis probably will go to Europe, Brown probably wont make the team either were already loaded at the 2 spot.

the Knicks were interested in bringing back Metta World peace maybe he gets last spot. Melo needs a backup and even though Early looks good he's still a rookie.

I've seen what the boy can do. His 1on1 defense was great, and he helped the offense. The defense was shyt, with or without. They were beating good teams man.


Remember the Heat game?


I believe in Bargs

Bargs was used improperly. Look at his stats when he played Center vs. PF → http://www.82games.com/1314/13NYK14.HTM#bypos

We too guard heavy as is breh. You already got Calderon, Larkin, prigi. At 2 you got jr, shump and Timmy. Too much.

His shooting is terrible but most (if not all -- didn't notice today) of the games change when he comes in because of his defense, leadership, and knowledge of the Triangle. Ellington should be the one to go.

 

[DPresidential]

If Larkin gets 2nd unit point guard duties...

If Timmy winds up being our 6th man of the year

If Cleanthony gets aggressive and builds 10-15 lbs of muscle by next June

 

[tremonthustler1]

Shumpert and Teyana Taylor at Dyckman right now

Around Twitter on how NY lost today:




I thought Coach Fish did a great job of giving his team a chance to win despite Ewing's great coaching, Cleanthony being hurt, and Cole being out.

I think Ellington is the odd man out. His specialty is 3 pt shooting which the knicks have and thats still too many 2's on the lineup

Calderon/Pablo/Larkin
SHump/Hardaway/Jr/
Melo/Early/Thanasis
Bargs/Amare/J.Smith
Dalembert/Cole/Tyler

is a lot more balanced. Also a lot of Big guys on the knicks roster who aren't afraid of contract (besides barg and to a degree Amare) I think that in a lot of ways are going to help balance out Calderon's bad D. Hopefully they let other PG's know that they can't just go into the paint like its nothing.
