Phil's Drunk Messin' With The Association Save Again: Knicks 2015-2016 Tryout / Off Season Thread

[ChemicalBk]

Didnt Affalo put up 18 ppg a few years ago and played with Melo in Denver I'd take a long look at him to start at 2 for us if he accepts portland money

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

So right now the roster is
Starters:
Calderon
?
Melo
Porzingas
?
Bench:
Grant/Galloway/Larkin
Antetokoumpo
Early/Wear
Labeyrie
Amundson/Aldrich

We have the money to fill two holes with good players and if Kristaps can bulk up and not get hurt this year...we have a potential playoff team brehs

Larkin, Aldrich & Admundson are free agents.

Only cats locked in as of right now
Guards: Calderon, Galloway & Grant
Forwards: Melo, Early & Prizingis
Centers: 0

Acy, Shved & Wear all have qualifying offers.

We need some talent in the worst way.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

This ninja, Phil making me look real dumb for believing in him so much, so far. Hopefully he has some tricks up his sleeve regarding fa, if not

 

[I.V.]

"Scouts" said the same about Milicic, Tskitishvili, etc. Hardaway could still develop & work on his handles. He just played his 2nd year.

I have a really bad feeling this pick is going to bite us in the ass man. I would've just went with Trill & called it a day

Well, we could also list all the names of american players that have been flops that scouts loved, right?

I don't know if this kid is going to be great or good or average or a flop -- but the franchise has to think beyond winning with melo, what sets the team up best long term, and that's taking a shot at a star.

I was on board with WCS, I was on board with Mudiay... but I'm okay with this too.

SAS says Melo is pissed at the pick because its clearly a "post Melo" pick. Also while SAS didn't say Melo wanted a trade it might be a possibility. SAS also said Monroe isn't sure he wants to come to NY (probably because it looks like they are transitioning to post Melo).

If Melo wants Out.....fukk him lets go full rebuild

Basically... who the fukk cares what melo wants. We see how LeBron's GM'ing has gone. I'm happy to be making decisions post-melo, he's in his 30's, and the team will be here after he leaves. You gotta find a balance, in order to get sustained success.

 

[Crown Bearer]

New day, new attitude. I've gone from hating the pick () to being indifferent () last night, to now being cautiously optimistic (). Bottom line is KrisPo is donning the orange and blue, so he gets my full support

Now that the draft is over, I want to see if Phil grabs some undrafted talent for SL

 

[Illuminatos]

If Melo wants Out.....fukk him lets go full rebuild

I agree. Melo is still one of my favorite players in the league but don't let the door hit you on the way out lol.

 

[GhostoftheMan]

melo mad about how FO is treating him but he was playing on an injured knee for awhile just to play in the all star game after we gave him a 120 over four years.

 

[GollyImGully]

too much fukkery in the news today

I am feeling slightly more comfortable with the Portingiz pick today. From watching interviews and clips of his he seems to LEGIT love the game. Thats huge because he'll want to put in the work to become better. But we can only wait and see at this point, he is just a project.

I like Jerian Grant a lot That was a steal. I do feel weary about just giving up on young talent (timmy being only in his 2nd yr). But honestly timmy seemed to be stuck in his ways. Straight chuck status, never wanted to pass, awful handles. Hopefully we don't look back on this as a mistake.

And ff Melo really is mad then Phil better start looking at packages for him honestly. I'm talking some 1st rounders, young prospects we can use now and an expiring contracts.

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Well, we could also list all the names of american players that have been flops that scouts loved, right?

I don't know if this kid is going to be great or good or average or a flop -- but the franchise has to think beyond winning with melo, what sets the team up best long term, and that's taking a shot at a star.

I wish I could smack the shyt out of this fakkit Stephen A.

Dude can't be a Knicks fan

 

[DPresidential]

If you don't like the pick, Melo, then step. :comeon2:

This...I actually have to agree with.

I'm def on the Melo team but the future is the future. If he doesn't like it then...

 

[Hammer]

Melo is an a$$hole. nobody asks for your input or opinion about the pick

 

[puggle]

Porzingis and Grant are gonna be on with Francesa back to back starting 4:30. Porzingis right now speaks better english than Mike.

 

[MostReal]

I think the fact that the Knicks were able to get Grant actually makes Porzingis a good pick. You picked up the player with the highest upside in the draft at that point and you were still able to pick up one of the top point guards in the draft too. And let's be real, outside of the top 3, the rest of the draft is really a crap shoot. Even the top 3 isn't guaranteed. Look at the best young players in the league now. Most of them weren't the most highly touted in the draft anyway.

The media is refusing to talk about Grant because it ruins their talking point. I think KP is coming off the bench. Grant may start before he does.

If West and Monroe come a quality vet SG is needed too.

 

[RickyGQ]

Ehh I'm going with KP.

What about Kris-P? (crispy)

 

[Willy Waffle]

Just heard that grant is related to horace grant. Phil know what he's doing, lol

first time i saw him earlier in the year, i had a feeling he was horace son or either related to him. kid look just like him.

but overall, i love the pick, just wish we didn't trade hardaway jr for him. kid balled his ass off during the tournament. he aint scared to let that thang off either, don't mean that in a jr smith way but he makes alot better judgement with his shot selection. still kinda heated we didn't get winslow or wcs but, i'll just embrace the euro kid for NOW!
