To be fair. The Knicks have A LOT to prove this year. Pretty much every player on the roster has a lot to prove and as a unit., they are still a question mark.

Felton., has a LOOOOOONG ways to go to be mention with the same tongue as Billups.

And, I'm a Knick fan.

Read what i wrote though,i said the knicks have a better team then they did last year which is true..You cant compare Raymond Felton to Chris Dudu and now i believe Chandler has more trade value then Jr Smith..He will end up being packages with Carmello im sure of that..But im not one of these Knick fans who overrate and think were bound to make it far as of right now we are a 7 th or 8th playoff seed and thats not a given either which means if we dont perform im sure theres a chance we wont even make the playoffs..And i never compared Felton to Billups btw

[quote="almost famous"]
You gained a 22ppg/6.5rbs player, and lost a 20ppg/11.5rbs player. Addition by subtraction?
[quote]

even tho your stats arent straight, amare is drawing double teams and that follows open shots for everybody. david lee didnt do that at all he was just scoring on midrange shots or near distance, off the offensive rebounds and pick and roll. he cannot attack the rim and his defense is not near amares D (even tho amares d is not the best) Soo yeah... its addition by subtraction, if u think about the 3 guys we get out of the david lee subtraction and adding amare to fill lee's roster spot...



And i think if duhon and lee do well in mikes pick and roll, so can felton and stat ;)


//edit

thanks to everbody givin props for he mix, maybe i can do some new york stuff not so soon :D

I rounded up or down, so yeah the stats aren't exact. Didn't have much of an impact on my point.

Amare is drawing very few double teams. Most of his points came off pick and rolls, cuts, and back doors. The guy is a talent, but he isn't Melo on the block.

Amare's defense is nonexistent, and Mike D'antoni wouldn't have it any other way.

You lost more than just Lee, but I'm guessing you think Al is "addition by subtraction" as well. Either way, he's leaving a lot of points to fill.

That's a good point.

Seriously Knicks fans, you guys have a reason to be excited and all, but if Melo couldn't win with the cast he has in Denver, then he won't win with the cast in NY; considering the Nuggets with him are near contenders.

LOL, "no supporting cast", that's funny. If he leaves, it won't have anything to do with basketball.

The Knicks have one above average player. Fact is even if healthy the only starter on the Knicks that would start on the Nuggets is Amare. Felton, chandler, Gallo, Randolph, Azubuike, Walker, and turiaf would all come off the bench at best with the Nuggets. In fact Walker, Turiaf, Chandler, and Gallo may have trouble even getting more then 10 mpg, and Felton would struggle keeping minutes from Lawson. Like it or not, the Knicks may have the 2nd best player, but the nuggets currently have the best player, and the 3rd,4th,5th,6th, 7th, and 8th best players on their roster right now. So to say that the Knicks are a better team is just ridiculous. 2 players do not make a team. If you don't believe me, then why has it repeatedly been reported that the Nuggets executives have stated over and over to numerous reporters that the Knicks have nothing of interest.

This whole NY fans being happy to have gotten rid of harrington, is kind of funny. After all he has a long history, and has been a defensive stopper and solid all around player on a 65 win team long before he want to the Knicks no defense chuck em up style. Besides that who would use a fan base that believes they got one of the best deals in free agency when they signed one guy (with a problem knee with his time line on effectiveness is about to expire) to a bigger and longer contract then anybody else, not to mention the fact that they overpaid an average PG, that was not even offered a deal by a team desperate for a starting PG.

The funny thing is this whole idea that the Nuggets are holding a grudge. I was a fan of a Nuggets team that once had a horrible decade or so of basketball, and we began to love anybody with the slightest amount of talent. But once your team starts winning you realize how bad those players really were, and how they really had very little value. Otherwise why would someone as bad as Harrington (as you propose) would get so many minutes from a team trying to develop their extremely talented young players? Or even better why would Golden State throw in Randolph in a sign and trade for such a horrible players as many New Yorkers like to say Lee was.

As for melo laughing at anything, have you read recent reports, does that sound like a guy who is nice and relaxed or laughing at anything right now. We all know his extension is the most important thing to him, and the Nuggets will be getting a good return of worthwhile players from a team they choose.

what are you talking about? the knee which was full healty the last 4 years? he missed just 30 games on an eye issue...

i agree to the rest of your post, because i can see you are not a guy favoring the knicks, but your facts are pretty streight ;)

but you cant argue the ceilings of gallo and randolph. Birdman beeing the only real center in this whole conversation makes him an easy lock, for "not even starting on the nuggets" so far. And felton playin a whole new system based on his strenghts could be another suprise... we just have to see. if melo really wants to be a knick, we can just wait it out and can get him pretty cheap if not for "nothing" via free agency :wave:

Fully healthy? Is that why the insurance companies will not cover Amare's knee? doesn't sound fully healthy to me. By the way, microfracture according to the experts is a temporary solution, which in basketball players they hope holds for around 5 years. For more information, you can read through the Melo threads where this has been discussed at length, or ask Corona who has spent a ton of time studying this suregery.

What are their ceilings? Let's see one has a bad back and is only above average at shooting, every other facet of basketball he is below average.

The other player while being hyped constantly, has had plenty of problems with his former head coach, and even worse has only managed to stay healthy for a total of 96 games over the last 2 years. And that is not even bringing up the fact that while he put up 11.6 and 6.5 in 22 mpg, he had horrible efficiency especially for such a supposedly talented big. the worst thing about it is that his defensive ratings, and offensive efficiency actually got worse his 2nd year, while being given more minutes.

as for Felton, only Knicks fans would be happy of overpaying a 26 year old guy who has been in the league for 5 years based on potential. While he may improve in a new system, the fact is no team should overpay with the hope that a player of this type can suddenly improve.

As for getting Melo next year, I know this is the primary theme on the New York board just as it was with Bosh, lebron, Wallace, Jordan, and whoever else you guys have been doing this to yourselves for. We shall see what happens, but for some reason the group of fans that have been following his every move, and are closest to the center of all this crap know that Melo wants paid. he always has, and he knows after the CBa meeting, that max contracts are going to take a hit. Meaning that Melo never becomes a free agent.

Considering no team was even offering the MLE for 3 year deals, even with a team option on the last year, paying a guy $7.25 million average over 2 years is paying at least $1.25 million more then anybody else was offering.

20 mpg when Randolph is hurting a teams offense and defense is pretty good minutes. hell with the Nuggets he would not even be able to get on the court for 10 minutes if he was playing as he did last year.

u are funny dude...

the best part was "Let's see one has a bad back and is only above average at shooting, every other facet of basketball he is below average" the only thing i can tell you about that is, have fun with mr. harrington hes is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than gallo and nerver has some physical issues :D

hahaha u are ignorant hater, period... gallo played 81 games 33 mpg, what sore back? im sure chauncey had some issues with anythin, too. but hes still your franchise mega star right? be happy with al harrington he will have better averages im sure. Al and jr will chuck the **** our of your franchise...


damn... i dont even have an insurance on my knees anymore, because of a MENISCUS Surgery... thats life today... or did amare missed one game on a knee injury? Hell no! did gallo miss one because of his sore back? hell no! dont talk stupid things like some **** sound to YOU, you have obviously no clue at all..

to be honest? i dont give a damn where melo will land... fact is that he wont be a nugget, im pretty sure! Hate if you want to, but we have some good pieces in new york.... hate is the new love baby!

to get at felton, yeah he may overpaid, so what? we target derron or chris 2012 anyways, and felton will be 8 mio expiring at this time. u dont get the point that we gave him a chance, a new situation i dont care what haters like u say. i give him the chance to be the good point guard that he IS in a freelancing system...

damn if i risk a ban now i dont care, stupid people like the rebel makin me aggressive as hell. u are just a hater,this is so obvious. just say it, u r hating on the knicks and u r a scared as **** that carmelo will sign elsewhere....


and AR would not even play for the nuggets? because all harrington, joey graham and the birdamn are so nice players? haha u made my day :D

Harrington is fine to fill a role, it is not our fault, or his fault that he was one of only a handful of players that could even keep your team respectable last year. fact is he played over his head, yet it still made no difference as you missed the playoffs once again. Fact is nobody is trying to hype him as the next superstar, and most think he is a servicable role player that fills a role the Nuggets have needed for years.

Wow talk about drinking the kool-aid. Have you ever had back problems, or do you know anybody that has? fact is when you have back problems at a young age, thy never really go away, even after surgery. Sure you can alleviate the pain for a year, maybe to, but they never really go away.

As for our franchise mega star, last I checked that was a guy who you and your cohorts have been creaming your pants over the slightest indication that he may be interested in your team.

As for Al and JR both chucking the nuggets out of anything, you do realize that even in down years for both of them they ended up as better shooters and all around players then your franchise guy Gallo? Talk about Chucking, Jr and AL were both key players on conference finals teams, you have one guy who has even been a key player on a team that made the playoffs.

Congratulations, I have torn my MCL and ACL and had to have them put back together and have insurance on it right now. If you can't get coverage it is because your injury is too recent or they did not correct the problem. But that is besides the point. Neither of us have a company paying us close to $20 million dollars and have their hopes riding on our knees. AS for not having a clue, do some research, as you will easily find out that microfracture is a temporary solution, and once it wears out it is done. He may be fully healthy last year, hell maybe even next year, but the more he runs and jumps the closer it gets to him having no knee left.

For not caring, then why do you continue to come to a denver board? Fact is your good pieces have no interest around the league, and even your own reporters know that. Hell the best offer you could get for any off your young guys was a future 1st for Randolph.

Your targets are deron and Chris, but what team are you going to put around them? an injured Amare? I know Gallo and Randolph are going to be great superstars. Hell you are going to have players just lining up and begging to get onto a team with Isiah as the GM, and randolph, Gallo, and Amare on the injury list. Good luck with that.

fact is Felton limits your roster flexibility for the next 2 years, while drawing a paycheck that is a 30% higher then anybody else would have given him. But hey keep the dream alive, I am sure you will on day get a superstar convinced to buy the hype and join the Knicks, whats a few more years when you have already been waiting for 30 years.

Everybody that disagrees with the Knicks fans is just a hater. We all know, that makes most analysts, fans of every other team, most of your own local radio people and writers, and reasonable people all haters. Of course you can call me stupid, and fact is I should probably warn you, but this post as well as some of your others you have made, make it pretty obvious you are not smart enough to figure out who is stupid and who is smart.

As for being scared that Melo will sign elsewhere, I am not scared at all, I am afraid of what happens if the Nuggets trade Melo for the crap from the knicks though, as we all know they are worthless.
Zup11 wrote:and AR would not even play for the nuggets? because all harrington, joey graham and the birdamn are so nice players? haha u made my day :D

You realize Harrington played more minutes then Gallo last year, guess D'antoni missed the part where Harrington was worthless and Gallo was the future superstar? AS for Graham, he is not even in Denver this year, and despite being healthy only played as many minutes as your hero Randolph did last year. Now we could discuss Andersen as well, who even Golden State fans have admitted was better playing injured last year then Turiaf is, your probable starting center.
Zup11 wrote:we all know don nelson is not a players coach... but u are just one of the guys, studying 82games.com and judge everybody on theese stats.


have you even seen Randolph play? I know it is hard as most Warriors games start around 4 am your time, and you usually have to have league pass access to even get hose games as they are rarely if ever nationally televised, and the fact is I have watched plenty of their games and have a hard time seeing him as he is usually out, and I know the viewing is often difficult for NBA games in most of Europe, but have you even seen him? Youtube clips are great, but maybe you should wait until you see the actual guy on the court before you come in here talking ****.

Don Nelson is not a players coach? yet he let's his player play however they want, but he does not take kindly to guys who do not give maximum effort and do not even pretend to try on defense. Hence his problems with Randolph. While he may be a little crazy Nelson gets more out of his guys then 80% of the coaches in the league, and can turn **** players into serviceable pieces. The Warriors have won more games over the last 5 years then your Knicks, despite having hundreds of games missed due to injuries every year. Fact is there are plenty of guys who have had career years and significantly improved their while playing for the guy who is not a players coach, yet Randolph significantly regressed while playing for him. What does that say about your coach and his chances of getting randolph to realize all that potential that he supposedly has.

That 11-2 to the Nuggets


This certainly is an opinion. I wouldn't say it's a correct one, but I will say it is, in fact, an opinion.

Also, the assumption on the Knicks board is that Carmelo Anthony will play at the SG position, if he's acquired by NY. I don't see him as a SG, but people on the Knicks board do. I think Chandler is more of a SG than Anthony, but again, that's not the consensus opinion on the Knicks board.

I think it should be said that the Knicks' core is younger and on the rise, maybe as soon as this season your "11-2" Nuggets advantage... (lol...) could be more like 2-11. If the Nuggets really have such big of an advantage as you seem to think then NY will have to sign Anthony outright next off-season because NY obviously can't afford to give up any inferior assets.

almost famous wrote:You gained a 22ppg/6.5rbs player, and lost a 20ppg/11.5rbs player. Addition by subtraction?

That said, I'm fully aware that his number were inflated by Mike's system, and Amare is clearly a better talent, but I don't think this swap is as good as you think it is.


Inflated #s Mike's system? That myth is a bunch of nonsense. It's always uttered by fans who think they know what their talking about. The Knicks didn't have players who could "run" D'Antoni's system effectively nor did they starting caliber PG, much less someone like Steve Nash. No one on the Knicks team last year had "inflated stats" due to D'Antoni's system, just by saying that you proves your level of basketball knowledge. The Knicks had to slow down their offense due to personnel.

I've seen the Suns offense when D'Antoni was there, and I've see his offense in New York, and there were nothing alike, other than the pick-and-roll being a staple part of the offense. The Knicks didn't have the 3-point shooters or opencourt players or creative pass-first PG to "run-and-gun" like the old time Suns.

The Knicks could/should improve a lot defensively this year, so just that alone should make them better than they were last season. They also got rid of chuckers (such as Al Harrington and Eddie House) who did virtually nothing, but stopped ball movement and take shot attempts from other players. Maybe Carmelo will fall in that same category, so I don't even know how I would feel to him coming to NY.

And 6.5 RPG? Who on the current Knicks' roster average 22 points and 6.5 rebounds/game last season?

I normally do go on other board and discuss the Knicks, but you should act like you have a clue what you're talking about when it comes to the Knicks. The arrogance of some teams' fans to think they know more about the Knicks team than their own fans.

I don't know what the Knicks or the Nuggets will do this season, but I'm not acting like I do... unlike some posters.
It's hard being a Knicks fan...

I don't know how I managed to miss this thread, and I see where the Rebel brought it up, so I will ask the question that I can't seem to find an answer to when searching the subjecct. Does anyone know how many fractures the specialists had to do on Stats knee?

member that it was supposedly a non weight bearing area, but they never reported the number of fractures as far as I recall. If I remember correctly he had hell with it for over a year, and a worse rehab then Kmart had with either of his.
