Saying Affalo sucks fits the Phil Jackson narrative some folks want to have. Shades of TKF/Melo.

Afflalo is 10000x better then both those two scrubs JR and Shumpert! Quit hating! Or if you want to hate, make sense!!!

Afflalo says he's worked out with @carmeloanthony in Vegas & here in NY. #Knicks
When asked how much Triangle film he's watched, Afflalo replied, "A lot. A lot. I watched a ton of film. I anticipated coming to New York."

Afflalo: "I cherish the tradition & the city here. I've been working really hard this summer." #Knicks

"Arron Afflalo says Carmelo Anthony played a big role in his decision to sign with the #Knicks.

So it's not true that Melo wasn't happy with this signing. They have a history of playing well together. Synergy, teamwork, chemistry - we need it. I haven't seen it on our team in years.

Yo, nice! Running triangle principles. High post action!

Looks to be in great shape. Good to see.

Normally, I'm like "yeah, maybe we will see" but I have a really good feeling about Melo's play this season. People are sleeping on him.

I expect Afflalo to be the best sidekick Melo has had since Billups.

If the Knicks are in playoff contention prior to the Allstar break and Afflalo is putting up 17 ppg on 45% FG's and 37% 3PT FG's (his numbers while in Orlando), he may warrant an allstar selection.

It should feel refreshing for Melo to kick it out to someone who can actually hit their shots consistently.

never followed his career that closely. love his length and his ability to bully his way into the post/paint and score

AA is going to be a terror off those dribble handouts that the triangle produces. Has the ability to hit a step back off them, pull up, or post and bully. It's nice to get someone who can efficiently iso outside of Melo. JR'S stepbacks got on my nerves.
