Best Hypothetical Knicks Melo Team 

Post#1 » by Wigginstime » Fri Feb 2, 2024 3:56 pm

Team A – Actual Knicks Roster
1 Davis / Lin
2. Shumpert / Smith
3. Melo
4. Amare
5. Chandler

Team B - Billups doesn’t get hurt and Knicks don’t amnesty him which created the salary cap room to sign Tyson Chandler
1. Billups / Lin
2. Shumpert / JR Smith
3. Melo
4. Amare
5. Turiaf

Team C – Melo Doesn’t Demand Trade From Denver and signs via FA (Assume NY no longer has salary cap to resign Wilson Chandler or sign Tyson Chandler).
1. Felton
2. Gallinari / JR Smith
3. Melo / Shumpert
4. Amare
5. Mozgov

I actually think none of these are better than the real 2nd round team they got, I like Melo playing PF beside Kidd and Chandler in 11 Mavs mode more than Melo/Amare. Maybe add Lin to that team.

Healthy Amare in all cases? One year only? Gallinari playing guard on team C required or can we use the secondary ballhandler like Schumpert at the 2 instead (not impressed with any team that has Felton as the only playmaker)?
