He can shoot, defend, and create. He's been getting a lot better at finishing as well. He's impressed me this year.

I was going to draft him, but like Clarkson more. Want to see a little bit more, but the fact that I even THOUGHT about it means he has been playing kinda solid.

Clarkson is better now, but I think Rivers has more potential long term.

My offer was a top 8 protected pick this year with Jeff Green for salary cap purposes.

He most certainly didn't sign up for this.

Not like he is cutting his son from the NBA lol he is sending him to a very bright situation for a young player who needs the spotlight at this stage in his career

And by the look of it rose isn't going to be, jennings is probably gone. Austin may actually end up being the starting Point Guard.

Probably starting alongside Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball

Back end guard. Not a starter on a really good team.

There was an article last year that said they don't even have a close relationship.

What the Knicks need is a true point guard to complement Melo and Porzingis and some defenses pieces around them. Along with a defensive scheme and coach that works.

Much easier to find a scapegoat instead of addressing the real issues with this roster

the real issue being they built a team around a player who's not a leader and doesn't care about winning.

Doesn't care about winning yet will only be traded to a winner.

Is not a leader but doesn't have a good roster to lead.

Makes sense.

Still waiting for your response to the coaches being fired fallacy you tried to spread.

Slow down on Rivers. He's been balling.

Truth is the clipper deal without Blake is the most probable because Melo holds the cards. Just let it grow on you because it ain't that bad. We gotta hope the 2 clippers picks end up in the lotto

Hopefully Phil can continue Lee's streak of getting traded around

Melo being traded?
Never fear citizens, our masked hero is here!

Rivers is a gunner but he's got talent

Nice ball handles but streaky shooter. He can get to the basket though

I like his competitive spirit though. He hustles and battles on the court, still young too

Too soon?

Baker > Rose

Rose has immense tank duties though can not be ignored

why can't we get blake to boston and score a pick out of this?

ozwizard8 · Post #458 » by **ozwizard8** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 8:14 pm

Wow such good news.
Full tanking + Trading every asset to rebuild. Thats exactly what Knicks need right now.

*Trade Melo for top picks. Celtics pick would be best return. Bring that Brooklyn pick to NY again

*Trade expiring Rose for R.Gay+top 10 protected future Sacremento pick. Rose help them get in playoffs.
*Get another lottery protected pick for C.Lee. There'll be some team want him as backup or starter.

I'm ok to tank this year and the next. We can have 2 top 5 pick from our tanking job. Knicks tank is strong as German ones.
We'll probably get a high pick for Melo. We can also get some late 1st round picks from various rebuilding trades.
Its a nice plan. New CBA doesnt promote players to change teams. Those 6 year extensions mean keeping a drafted guys like 13-14 years. If we get one or two good players to play with KP we'll have really nice years in 20's.
Lets face it, we cant beat Cavs, GSW before 2020's anyway.

trade him to his home town indy. They are starting Glen Robinson III some games or CJ miles who is a bench player. Perfect fit next to teague and PG13
