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

[I.V.]

But we have a pick this offseason. Yup

Us, too.

No sane player gonna want to play with Melo and y'all got him locked up for 5 years.

Kobe making 59 million in the last year of his deal.

Kobe gone in 2016. Nothing you say changes that.

Keep telling yourself that.

Here's the thing. Both teams are in the same boat. We suck. We are about to have a pick and cap space.


Gotta band together, bruh. Ain't nobody want to play with either of our superstars-in-name-only

 

[JMurder]

He can't, even on Team USA his role was that of instant offense where his priority was to score.


And they shouldn't have resigned him.

You're not learning skills when you're on Team USA breh. You might pick up some tips or ideas but that's where it stops.

 

[Frump]

does anyone in the league pick up on the fact that playing like the Spurs leads to wins? Their B team would make the playoffs in the East. The NBA game right now is brutal.

It's a 3 point contest and guys with freakish athleticism and zero ball iq

Moving without the ball reading defenses and playing unselfishly is gone

Blame aau they make these kids into brands at 15 where they become their own entity and not part of a team

A lot of players call playing for Team USA some of the most formative times of their careers.

Great loss fellas, free agents are going to be chomping at the bit to play for a team that missed the playoffs 2 years in a row, started 4-20 & have Towns, wow. ..........

Do you think winning 35 games would make some huge difference to free agents?

Truth is not every players goal is to win a title.Melo stayed because of money and business deals winning was not important or he would have went to the bulls

If a player comes here it could be for any number of reasons.Truth is the Knicks will not get a big name player they'll overpay for Millsap or Dragic which makes the draft pick vital

 

[The War Report]

Calderon is looking useless out there. :comeon2:

Towns is more important to the rebuild than melo or any possible free agent we can get. With the exception of Marc Gasol of course

 

[360dagod]

It's not really a system...it's how you're supposed to play basketball. Pop just holds people accountable. This isn't a complicated game, especially offense.

Actually its a United Nations based motion offense...

We on that international shyt as you nikkas know

Its precision, cutting, and playing off the ball...It looks easy, but most take awhile to adjust to whats being ran..

Basically constant ball movement

Honestly Melo would need to learn all 3 to be effective..He plays that American Iso game that stresses no ball movement...

I believe Phil is trying to build a culture first..

Which means you got to get rid of the losing mentality..

But you gotta keep it real with melo if he not playing the type of ball you want...

Pop screams on Duncan just like he would Cory Joseph...That shows nikkas no matter who you are, if you fukk up, you will hear about it...

I actually used to defend melo, but his whole I need to feel like LeBron attitude he developed is wack especially when he isn't in the same tier..I would have let that nikka go before a nikka try to hold my team hostage...

 

[Apollo Kid]

Didn't watch last night and I know JR wasn't playing but...

Yeah I'm sure an 8th seed and a first round ass whipping from the Bulls/Cavs/Wizards would have free agents dying to play in MSG.

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Yeah I'm sure an 8th seed and a first round ass whipping from the Bulls/Cavs/Wizards would have free agents dying to play in MSG.

Yeah, and they'll really want to come to a 4-20 team. Good luck convincing Marc Gasol to leave a contender in Memphis to play for a lottery bound Knicks team.

Phil Jackson himself said he was worried about that.

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

We're a 16 game winning streak away from reaching .500

 

[Captain Crunch]

Karl Towns is coming back home.

That's funny, the Knicks don't play in Piscataway.
