It’s unclear what the players talked about during the meeting, but league sources said Courtney Lee and Noah spoke extensively. The guess here is that the offense was one of the topics of conversation. ESPN sources said some New York players expressed displeasure over the triangle offense earlier this month because they feel it doesn't suit their personnel, particularly point guard Rose, who has thrived when using pick-and-rolls.
League sources familiar with the dynamic said the players remained displeased with the triangle as recently as late last week.
One detail that we know about the meeting: the conversation was driven by the players.
kinda interesting
That first tweet about cutters has been the story of my argument for Melo since he's been here. Glad Horny acknowledged it. Every single play where noone cuts is technically an isolation play by default. So then with Melos reputation it becomes. "See, see Melos holding the ball too long and not passing to the open man" rather than "why aren't guys moving to places where Melo can pass it too them as opposed to spreading out and waiting".
Spreading out and waiting is what one does when the player who has the ball is a drive and kick player. Cutting and rotating is what one should do when the player who had the ball is more of a passer from a stand still position such as the post. Yet over and over again what do we see? Melo gets the ball in the side post and guys spreading out waiting for a kick out.
We can talk extensively about what Melo could do instead but if the whole world knows what Melo does, why not just respond to it correctly
