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

[MostReal]

Idk breh, I see us making the offs next season. Usually injuries will take place and I think Melo has a bounce back year. Any time Melo has a legit second option the playoffs are pretty guaranteed.

This is what I'm trying to tell the Melo haters, dude has literally been playing by himself (especially on the perimeter ) since he's been in NY. Dudes are seriously discounting Melo ability

 

[onelastdeath]

Greg Monroe has your second option

A solid 16/10 on 50% shooting sounds great right about now to me breh. Compared to what we have anyway.

Who knows if it will work out but I like the pick because it shows Phil is not consumed with building around Melo and realizes he this pick can't just be a nice piece he wants it to be the face of the franchise in 5 years.

Why the impatience and rush? Hate to break it to the optimists out there but as long as Brons in somewhat of a prime he's going to the finals so going all in right away trying to compete with him is foolish.

That didn't help the Pistons much, he's a poor defender, you're going to rely on a 19 year old rookie big for defense?


The other eastern squads are set for the most part.

All It takes is one year for things to go right. I don't buy that. The East is surprisingly on the rise as well.

We Don't have a pick next season, we might as well do our best.

The Pistons played him as their first option and didn't have a 25 pt scorer leading the charge to take pressure off of him. I don't think he's made to be a first option and in NY he wouldn't have to be.

Let's see how FA plays out first though. Anything can happen.

Yeah he put up 16 and 10 on a bad team that couldn't even make the playoffs in the east.His impact on the court is minimal

 

[I.V.]

Because Phil is smart enough to realize Melo is not a championship caliber player, I mean it's fukking obvious as hell, why build around him when the writing is on the wall? Face facts, no amount of patch work FA signings this summer is going to get the Knicks even remotely close to the Cavs, Bulls or Heat.

The Knicks should no longer be about Melo this Melo that, you just took a chance on a player with a high potential, everything you do moving forward should be about maximizing his potential.

The Warriors traded Monta Ellis for pennies on the dollar because he was getting in the way of Curry's development. If you want Porzingis to reach his potential, Melo gotta go, it's that simple.

These guys gotta see it. Team has to be making plans BEYOND Melo.

At some point maybe you move him, maybe not. You gotta do what's best to build the best team you can LONG TERM. And if you can find a way to make melo work into that, great. If not, you'll move on.

Caps goin up, flexibility's going up.

Plus Phil went into the last two drafts with 1 pick, and finished with six players.

phil is the same dude that paid melo all that money tho

Yeah. He is. No way around it. But you take the job and your first move is to make a decision, and he decided to keep him. I dont' even hate it, because I think there will be a market for him, when and if they decide to flip him.

Plus the cap is going UP, which makes his deal look medium-sized quick.

Kris Kringle bout to bring a miracle to 34th street

:preachtome:

First off at slipping that treadmill bulls team in with the cavs and Heat. The Bulls aint winning shyt either

I don't see it as out of the question that the Bulls could get hot and give the Cavs a run, and the heat aren't special. Really anybody can come out of the east, except the Knicks.

So, I have no problem with any of this. Phil turned the roster over. Got a high-potential guy, and a new point guard. The team sucked last year, you'll need some bold moves, with an eye toward the future to get this team back to contention. Because it's not happening next year.

This team NEEDS to start thinking in 3-5 year increments.

Why? It's not like the Knicks are contending next year anyway so why not take the guy who you think will be great in a few years?

He even pointed out Dirk, like Dirk isn't 7 feet tall and much easier to hide defensively....because he's 7 feet tall

:shaqlols:

:deadsaeger:

GOATzingis

Peep the avi, brehs

:wewityou:

Damn I started off now I'm like

In all, it was a good night for us. Who knows if Porzingis will workout, but we made good moves, took our shot.

You would think that the Knicks were a dynasty before Melo got to NY and he ruined it by the way some of you dudes talk. It's ok to wanna part ways but show some fukking respect, I do not remember the Knicks sniffing the playoffs, a series win or 54 wins for a long time until Melo showed up.

Never in my life have I seen a fan base be mad at a player for doing shyt outside of basketball during the OFFSEASON.

I'm reading thru this thread like



Glad yall got rid of that bum Hardaway

I'm On The Trade Melo Bandwagon, Its Not Fair To Him Or Fair To The Team For Him To Be Here At This Point, Get As Much As You Can While You Can

The Worse Thing We Can Do Right Now Is Fill This Team With A Bunch Of McDyces's, Marburys, Steve France's, Keith Van Horns And Settle For Being shyt. Let's Build For Once.

BTW We Pawned Off Tim Hardaway At The Perfect Time

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

I went through all five stages of grief and I'm now on acceptance. Maybe he's not so bad. He could live up to expectations.

Phil fukked up, if he was going to do a total rebuild, he should've told Melo that. Some of the shyt Phil has been saying & doing isn't adding up. I've lost a lot of faith in dude
