Without Melo this team is terrible so I will be hopping on the tank bandwagon and let Melo heal up. Playoffs are impossible without him so might as well go full tank-mode
Make the Knicks great again!

I do, I prefer Towns over Okafor personally, but wont complain either way.

Okafor would be a starter on most teams in the NBA right now.

I see both players dominating in the league, so I wouldnt be upset in either case.

What's the alternative, stunt his development so they can sign him for cheaper? They made their bed by not working out an extension before the season, now they have to lie in it.

Even with shump improving his game (which isn't saying much, considering how much a$$ he was last season), he is still too inconsistent with this shot, and his defense is a lil overrated to me (he isn't quick enough to stay in front of his guy, he has good hands though), I take my chance by not signing him long term.

i'm one of the few who haven't given up on shump. i never suggested stunting his growth. but i don't think he's a 36+ MPG guy, at least not yet.

You guys are crazy. The team won't be too much worse without melo. We will either be slightly worse, slightly better, or stay at the same level of awfulness.

Worst thing a man can have is back problems. Could act up at any time and linger for the rest of your life. This is not something to be excited about. Im actually worried because this came out of left field.

Never underestimate the strength of knowledge.

Bring back the physical game and send the softies home.
