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

Don't throw rocks.

Galloway 6'2
Grant 6'5
Green 6'6
Melo 6'8
Monroe 6'11

I just can't be okay with this...Monroe and Melo won't stop anything in the post.

If Melo is playing the 4...it would only be if Lopez, Gasol or Jordan came through.

Melo is old and on the decline. There's no need to rush Porzingis. Develop him slowly.

why do people keep saying this? Melo was the same melo when he played last year. he never looked slower to me. i know 31 is "older" for a ball player. but i dont think melo is gonna age like milk. nikka still got 3 years left of being a top 5 scorer. besides his game is based around skill and strength two things that wont disappear over night.

Melo is in his prime. I'm not listening to that he's old bs.

And no way should we throw the max at DJ. 0 offensive moves & shoots 35% from the line, nope, I'm good.

Co-sign everything.

I don't see why we should really be considering throwing max money at anyone who would be a liability in the last 12 minutes of a game. If part of a team strategy would be to bench a max player because he may be fouled & cost us the game...we shouldn't sign him.

@ DJ in the triangle.


This is why they need to throw the triangle in the bushes. Today's bigs and point guards are good in the pnr.

I agree instead of being forced to find players to fit a system grab the best players and make a system that fits them.... but hey maybe the Triangle is better than I expect with D Fisher and Kurt Rambis around I'd think they could teach it.

Jordan would be worth it, but he's not leaving LA

dj averages like 13 ppg with CP3 with the knicks we would be lucky to get 8 points a night. ppl underestimate the impact cp3 and blake have on that team. with a below average PG (caledron) no way DJ will give us anything on the offensive end and his D is good but his FT%

Just for perspective regarding Dirk Nowitzki & Porzingis...

Wiki on Dirk:

In Dallas, Nowitzki joined a franchise which had last made the playoffs in 1990. Shooting guard Michael Finley captained the squad, supported by 7-foot-6-inch (2.29 m) center Shawn Bradley, once a number two draft pick, and team scoring leader Cedric Ceballos, an ex-Laker forward. Nowitzki experienced a rocky start: prior to the 1998–99 NBA season, NBA commissioner David Stern wanted to introduce a salary cap, causing the NBA players' union to declare a strike, the combination putting the entire season in jeopardy. In limbo, Nowitzki returned to DJK Würzburg and played thirteen games before both sides worked out a late compromise deal that resulted in a shortened schedule of only 50 instead of 82 regular season games.[28]

When the season finally started, Nowitzki struggled. Played as a power forward by coach Don Nelson, the lanky 20-year old felt overpowered by the more athletic NBA forwards, was intimidated by the expectations as a number nine pick, and played bad defense, causing hecklers to taunt him as "Irk Nowitzki," omitting the "D" which stands for "defense" in basketball slang.[29] He only averaged 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 20.4 minutes of playing time.[30] Looking back, Nowitzki said: "I was so frustrated I even contemplated going back to Germany. ... [the jump from Second Bundesliga to the NBA] was like jumping out of an airplane hoping the parachute would somehow open." The Mavericks only won 19 of their 50 games and missed the playoffs,[31] although Nowitzki completed the season with eight double-digit scoring games out of the last twelve.[5]

I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse...
