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

[Malta]

Brandan Wright would be the guy at a low cost to be that rim protector....Porzingis will be better off on the weak side.

Brandan Wright isn't on the same level as Bismack, and realistically he cant guard centers while Bismack can.


Nevermind the fact Bismack is only 22 and we've yet to see what he can do with fulltime starters minutes (7ppg, 8rpg, 2bpg last season in 21 starts but only 27mpg).

He's not as good of a defender but he's much better on offense...

 

[RickyGQ]

El Krispy.

Krispy is gonna stick...

He really isn't, he's had the luxury of playing on better teams with PGs or systems that get him the ball in good spots.

You're splitting hairs here too, the offensive difference is negligible, especially since neither guy would be asked to do anything beyond being a garbage man. Mack is 5 years younger, and still has a high ceiling, somebody like the Celtics will pick him up if you dont.

How many players do the Knicks have under contract?

5-6?

Carmelo
Calderon
Porzingis
Grant
Galloway
Thiannas??

He's one of the best young interior defenders in the league, you could pair him with Porzingis.


These are the type of players the Knicks should be looking for, young guys that could be bargains. Bismack's problem isn't that he's 6'9" it's that he's pretty bad on offense, and the Hornets couldn't play him because of their lack of shooting and Al Jefferson needing space in the post.

Former lottery pick that could be an elite interior presence, and pull down 10-12rpg to go along with 2bpg.

i agree on all points.


we should go after him and danny green.


but we also need a little scoring too. i say west if he takes 6 milly.



trade caledron and let grant run the point


sign conley next year if marc leaves i think he will too when his contract is up :gang:

If the Rockets strike out on Love and Aldridge, Phil should trade Melo for Capela, Decker and some draft picks and try to sign KJ McDaniels from them. Dunno how the two teams would match a deal that would fit financially, but it's definitely worth a shot considering the Knicks are a rebuilding team and we need to make Porzingis feel as comfortable as possible.

 

[I.V.]

On 37% FG from a 7ft

50% From the floor for his career, 80% from the line. 4 assists and 2 blocks per game last season.

Goddamn, you never-watch posters are coming out in NUMBERS this summer.

 

[Columbo]

Phil's new & improved DJ Mbenga?

 

[I.V.]

I'd take a low-risk shot on Biskmack... I mean, you gotta fill the roster, and you want to see what's what out there. Hell, he might even be able to play next to Monroe. (and obviously Kristaps)

I actually think Jordan's defense is more eyewash than effectiveness...

Your frontcourt is set for the next decade with him and Porzingis.

I'm talking about in that series. He shot 37% against Green/Bogut

I quoted five different series, and you picked one to say he's overrated based on percentages... I love when people who don't understand how statistics or sample sizes work show up in threads trying to kick me some maths.

holla.
