Hypothetical: Knicks get Ball

If you feel like he bashes Melo all the time, then why bother responding? All this back and forth is annoying. He's not changing his opinion and neither are you. Why bother interacting with each other?

melo and KP would be fun as hell to watch next to lonzo. if melo does want out and we trade, we should target michael porter jr in the draft. 6'10 SF. nice replacement for melo. not sure we would be that bad to get him though.

Why is that a low blow? Is that not true?

A low blow would be something that isn't true.

Right now you're in another thread arguing about what you say or don't about Melo on a regular basis with another poster. What you just posted was out of left field and helps prove 3Melo's point is all I'm saying.

At least own it. It's OK. We know you don't like Melo Mr. Perfect. Yoo haven't liked dude for years. Stop playing

I quoted a poster who mentioned Melo in a lineup thread. It's not out of left field.

I'm sure Melo is a great guy, but his time here is up and it's time to move on. If you disagree then I am sorry to hear but that's my opinion.

It's all you care about, Greenie. Defending Melo. It's such odd behavior, I can't even figure it out, but I have a hard time biting my tongue every time it rears its ugly head into one of these threads. I can imagine most people are absolutely tired of it.

Stop being a baby, everyone! We're here talking basketball. Who besides a total idiot would care about the battle between fans of different players?? For the love of God, just let this thread be about something else for once.

You're absolutely right.

The thing with Ball is, I would be hesitant to draft him because his dad will be a major distraction in NYC. Unless he tells his dad to stop talking I don't want this guy on the team. I feel like he'll turn into a mental midget with his dad corrupting his mind.

Great player, very talented, but it would be a slight risk to draft him in this market.

Nah, I want BAM from Kentucky to be the PF if we are trading Melo. He would fit next to KP well and is uber athletic.

And I'm tired of you always talking **** about him in every thread as are other people as well.

The only baby here is you. Why? You think **** flows only one way. It doesn't. That's why you got in your damn feelings when I said KP should not be playing PF.

I didn't go in like you do on Melo and say, trade him, it would suck if he was here and so on. I said move him to Center.

But I'm being a baby?

Once again, FOH with that noise.

This board needs LaVar Ball. I'm here for it.

he's a good option too but i was thinking we should try to get someone who can get buckets instantly. i mean we're still going to need a go-to guy even with lonzo and KP. next year's draft is loaded with forwards. if we're going to replace melo, next season is the perfect time to do it

Problem is phil doesnt want him. No way this roster is going to still be in tacked when we end up being one of the top 5 worse teams in the league. We also aint going to speed pass that Phil and melo drama. melo is gone bro

I don't think our defense would be good enough to "ring chase"

Ball would make our offense run like clockwork but our defense would still be atrocious and Ball isn't changing that. I would rather have a 3/D guy then Melo in that situation.

Yeah we'd still be bad.. that was what I was implying. I feel like Melo could ride it out easier.. it would be worth it to him.. he'd get better numbers with someone like Ball feeding him. We're not going to turn anything around until Melo is gone thoughy.

Ahhh
Ok

I would definitely call Charlotte about MKG then. I don't want to see Melo playing SF ever again. Next year we take a PF to replace Melo.

KP
Melo
MKG
Lee
Ball

That's a solid team. If we can swindle a young SG prospect from a team we could have a solid, young starting lineup a year and a half from now.

You're still going to have to play Melo at the three for at least a third of his minutes out there. Billy needs to start now. He's going to be THAT good.

Look at my first post on topic in this thread and then look at its first quote.

Point is people can't say anything about anything without people getting in their feelings.

If someone says something positive about Melo? Here they come. Someone says something negative? Here they come. Someone says nothing? Here they come.

That's why there is a back and forth.

For instance:

Bill just came at me crooked because I basically said play KP at center. Why? Because I don't like KP on the level he does and I still like Melo and he hates him. So anything I say he will have a problem with.

In year one it would be an adjustment for Ball. However, the kid has obvious defensive instincts. Ball has length and knows how to use it when you watch him play. The point is the head of the snake defensively and when you exchange rose for ball there should be a difference.

Easy...

Trade Melo to LAL for Ingram, Deng, Mozgov, HOU 17' 1st

Trade KOQ for a 2018 1st

Draft a backup pg/wing duo with the HOU 1st and our best 2nd rounder: Frank Mason III/Dwayne Bacon or Jawun Evans/Josh Hart.

Let DRose walk. Re-sign Randle

Lonzo Ball | Frank Mason III | Chasson Randle
Courtney Lee | Ron Baker
Brandon Ingram | Dwayne Bacon | Kuzminskas
Kristaps Porzingis | Luol Deng | Lance Thomas
Willy Hernangomez | Joakim Noah | M. Plumlee

IR: Mozgov

Nah. KP can't keep playing PF. I don't want to see him there either. We are going to have to choose between the two.

I've already stated my opinion on that because I think Willy is that dude. I see a huge mistake coming from up top because both Willy and KP are centers.

I don't like any lineup with KP at PF. Stop that mess this year.

Love the idea but this wouldn't happen. LAL is going with youth and rebuild mode. They wouldn't part with Ingram for Cousins don't see them doing it for Melo.

KP was solid defender at PF last year..

This year is still arguably the best defender in the starting line-up, at PF.

Lets see how it looks when three out of 5 starting player will not be black holes on defense.
