Okay so who is gonna be Melo's batman then?


a ball dominant PG

Well we've sailed the boat on that plenty of times.

Billups was too old & was on the decline, Kidd started out early in the season calling him off but has deferred to him mightily this season, Felton defers to Melo a lot but he does penetrate the lane, Lin sometimes called Melo off to get Fields & Novak involved but in those instances he didn't always make the best decision, even left Melo & Stat wide open once or twice.

IMO it has to with the Iso heavy system that puts the ball into the scorer's hands and out of the PG's and also it has to do with not having the right PG.

Chris Paul obviously comes to mind but that's an incredibly long shot. Guess we have to wish on a prayer with the Draft.

Yeah similar thinking here. He's probably my favourite Knick, but I realise that he is not going to be able to stay on the court for long stretches. I really hope he can at least play 50 or so games next season and be healthy for the playoffs.

ny needs to get another scorer

only way to get one is using tyson

Yeah, but Amare's been through so many injuries the last 2 seasons you gotta think that he's through that stage now. You guys honestly think Amare's gonna be averaging like 50 games played till the end of his career? He's not that fragile, last 2 seasons have just been brutal for him. The law of averages.

I've been saying the same thing.
What more can possible happen to his knees??
They're not arthritic like Roy's, and they've been surgically repaired. HE's practically an Android now.

No, he is not close to being an Andriod.

Mirco-facture surgery repaired knees and more likely to break down than a normal knee. The Suns medical staff, that can give life to old Shaq and Grant Hill, wouldn't give the team the go ahead to give him the contract NY did. There was also a reason the contract wasn't insured. His shelf-life was limited and we've been seeing that. It would be a miracle if he had a healthy half season at this point.
