I don't really understand why folks think replacing Melo with THJ is going to get KP more shots.

THJ will be easier for Horny to rein in. He won't have the clout Melo has <insert gif of Melo ignoring Horny's playcall>

I don't really think it's THJ versus Melo. Basketball is not that easy to do a kind of substitution-based analysis. I think the team is going to play differently without Melo. I'm not trying to say addition by subtraction, but as far as the depressing style of play, yes I think so.

I hope you are both right.

Yea and 10 of those were with Denver

And what about attempts? I believe we looked at this a while back and it was laughable.

Not to mention "since 2006" putting Melo in the 10-15% of oldest players in the game. This guy will probably INFORM us that Melo has more career points than Russ next.

Talking about Melo's go-ahead FGs is a little funny. The team lost a ton. Who cares how many go-ahead FGs he had.

Anyway, I wasn't really trying to inject controversy about Melo again. At least not anything new. And I'm not that spiritual about basketball but yes, with Melo gone I expect the team will have a new birth of freedom. Some of that is not even Melo's fault.

The Knicks used to play a better brand of basketball without Ewing at times too. If you want to win big, you need some top players, but you can at least be moving in the right direction first. We are stuck with Melo and Rose, etc.

As far as Melo and KP, I think we'll pass more and he won't have to do iso all the time or anything. But the larger point is that KP is either a 1st scorer, a 2nd scorer, or a 3rd scorer. I hope to hell he's not a 4th scorer. His talent and ability will dictate. We need to see what we have and Melo leaving helps that, but of course that doesn't mean KP will blossom just because Melo leaves. Of course not. KP may simply be a good all-around player who can score a little, and Melo staying/leaving probably doesn't alter his ceiling one way or the other a whole lot.

I just have a bad feeling this guy is coming back...dont know why else Portland would even be involved.

I've been torturing shammgod with that possibility but it's out there. I do think that's why multiple teams are getting engaged. The Knicks want their pg.

Yeah, maybe not him, but there's gotta be some missing pieces and bad contracts coming our way. Do think its a really strong possibility he ends up on the Knicks though, if Port/Houst are involved

TBH, I have no idea what Portland is doing. They made all those horrible moves last summer and now they need better fitting pieces that will likely also have horrible contracts. Maybe they think of Anderson that way or maybe not but they just drafted a couple of bigs, one of which has a 3ball.

I think THJR is the better player and has more upside but KCP for a year is much better than THJR for 4 years at the same price per. No question.

This is the first time that I am questioning if he will get traded or not now. RR knows nothing and is incorrect every single time.
