Put Some Hornacek On Our Game: 2016 New York Knicks Offseason Thread

[Victim of Racism]

Anyone can start for the Knicks. It takes time to break into our lineup.

False. Atlanta has a bunch of literal back-up All-stars. If you put a bunch of good players on 1 team, you will have a great team. That is what Atlanta has. If you put a bunch of great players on 1 team, you will have the Dream Team. You do not have 1 great player on your team. The closest you have is Trillsap. He is good, not great. If he were great, he'd have the green light to take at least 17 shots per game, even in that ball-movement offense. Jordan averaged 23 shots in the Triangle and 'Melo averages at least 17 shots in the same type of offense. Tim Jr. is not a good player, which is why he's not playing. He needs to go to the D-league because he has a lot of potential but he's not ready for the NBA.

Coach Bud turned Demarre Carroll in to a $15 million per year player and now has Kent Bazemore scoring 18 ppg. Give Hardaway time. When his time comes, he'll be ready. In Bud I trust.

No, the coach didn't turn him into anything. He had a good year in Utah before he came to Atlanta, which is likely why Atlanta wanted him.

Your statement about his salary only shows that Carroll is overpaid, just like tons of other players ever since the cap went up. Carroll got payed all that money because he was good on a 60-win team and because the cap went up, not because he's a great player. He's a good player. Shump just got $10 Million per year because the Cavs need defense, not because he's a great player. He's not even a good player and he takes pride in being unable to stay healthy:




P.S. - If anyone could play for NY, Tim would still be on the team.

Spurs tonight...Kawhi and LMA logged a lot of minutes last night; TD and TP got close to 30 mins on their aged legs...this is a nice chance to get a W over perpetual contenders. If the Knicks get this W, it'll be a really nice momentum and confidence builder. I'm really interested about our young guys matching up with the Spurs vets, especially KP of course but Grant/Galloway vs TP/Green is another interesting test. Melo's gonna need help tn, so I'm hoping our guys step up and use pace to their advantage.

Tim Hardaway Jr. can't get any burn on the Hawks. They realize he's not a complete player and can't understand defensive concepts.

Let's take a look at some of the players we had last year that led us to a 17-65 record.

A.Bargnani 9pts 3rpg in 17 minutes of play for the 0-3 Brooklyn Nets
Shane Larkin 5pts 4apg in 17 minutes
Amare played in one game 2pts 3rpg in 12 minutes for the Heat. Fans are already calling for him to retire.
Jason Smith 2pts 1rpg for the Orlando Magic
Cole Aldrich 1pt 3mins a game in LA
Quinch Acy stuck on the bench in Sacramento. Got no playing time so far.
Prigioni played in one game for the Clippers. He's stuck behind Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford. He missed all four of his shots.
Jr Smith is shooting bricks so far in CLE. 6/4/3 avg %28 fg %14 3pt
Shump is still injured to start a season.
Dalembert was waived by the Mavericks.
Ricky Ledo didn't make the training camp cut.
Travis Wear is in Spain on some team with a Frog for a mascot.
Shved took his money and went back to Russia.



What a year we went through. It would've been fine to have only 2-3 of these guys on a team, but not this many non-basketball playing scrubs. Most playing extended minutes for us.

Demarre came off the bench and barely averaged 5 pts in Utah. You're a fukking idiot.

Shump just got $10 Million per year because the Cavs need defense, not because he's a great player. He's not even a good player and he takes pride in being unable to stay healthy:

See man, this is why I am glad Shump is no longer our problem. I am really annoyed with players who always talk major noise in the offseason and are always in street clothes mean-mugging when the rest of the team is out there battling. And it's the same guys every season. And its not just basketball players.

Its like Shump doesn't really doesn't want to play a full season because his sub-mediocrity will be obvious. He would rather show up late and hustle hard, acting as if he made a difference. No, if you cannot be relied upon to play, we could have used your roster spot on someone who can contribute and be relied upon.

I almost want to name names when it comes to this situation. But i don't like dwelling on negativity. Shump needs to readjust his thinking. He is useless on anyones bench.

Don't dive into the stands or scorers table. Don't dive headfirst into the paint. Stop running into 310lb centers with your shoulders. Stop euro-stepping if you don't have a knee brace. Stop skipping your stretching sessions.

Dummy!

Shump with the ugliest eurostep in the league. I would fear for his safety every time he did it.

 

[Miles Davis]

fukk every single one of those dudes

Nah, not priggy smalls

Demarre came off the bench and barely averaged 5 pts in Utah. You're a fukking idiot.

16 mins: 6ppg on 46% from the field, 2.8rpg, 0.9apg, 0.9spg, 0.4bpg, and solid defense. If I were an idiot, you wouldn't have to resort to ad hominems. You're emotional.

I anybody that was able to watch the whole season of this trash last year. I couldn't do it.

This is my first real look at Gallo. I'm legit

As a Knick fan, I was appalled when I saw that tweet and said the exact thing you said: that I'm glad he's off the team. Bragging about sitting on the bench is an insult to the fans, the organization, and the sport. Get this all the way .

That love affair for Assy, Dalembert, Larkin and Wear went away real quick.

People was in love with Assy toughness til they found out he was the dude that Screams "Ooh He dont know me son"

Dalembert was never respected again when he got D. Howard suspended for an elimination game and he still played like shyt

Larkin was just a turnover waiting to happen and like always on cue a stupid turnover with under 2 mins to go

Wear was feeling himself that one game where he thought he was

All we need is to get rid of Calderon and to make the Cypher complete
