Having either one of those guys instead of Noah would of

- forced us to play Melo at the 4 & KP at the 5 more
- added some much needed perimeter defense
- opened up more PT for WHG & KOQ, maybe even a starting gig
- in the scenario with Barnes, had our hybrid F of the future

****. We still have enough guys now to do it and don't. Clearly this organization doesn't understand how well this would work.

Melo doesn't want to play the 4 long term

He doesn't want all the physicality that comes with it and KP can't handle being the 5 for more than a spurt here and there

"But but but we're a better team with that line up"
Until KP tears something and Melos arm falls off all together

You act like every other team in the NBA wouldn't have Melo at the 4 and most teams wouldn't have KP at the 5.

But but but .... Nothing. That's what they should do.

Melo's trade value rises, the Knicks rise in the tankathon.com standings...that's a win-win fam

We both as Melo's fans we'll be delighted with him playing on a contender... If healthy (and I guess Lebron will push him to sit 4-6 weeks to rest and heal up his shoulders and knees), he'll be a Finals MVP most probably!! Focused Melo is a beauty to watch!

WHG is a solid rebounder. Would be a double double with 25 MPG easily

If they don't sign Tyrod I know we're going to be cursed...

Bogut just threw a forearm into Holiday's face on that "block". :lol:

i don't get it...that a foul on bogut 100 times out of 100

so much body contact and he put his off arm on holiday to keep him from elevating.

Refs basically just call arm contact now and if you flop your arms you get a call. What happened to driving strong to bucket and drawing body contact? Thats a foul refs.

Porzingis with the nice stat line so far. 0-1, 2 fouls, 4 minutes.

Wasn't he supposed to have a big night in honor of Dirk?

Melo plays where he wants to play
Most other teams would have him at the three unless he wanted to be the four
Also KP would get bent over on the glass at the 5. He'll get there eventually, but right now he's not physically ready
Also Dirk has been a 4 his entire career, it all depends on who we get to play center. I believe Willy/KP is our frontcourt for the future

I'd love to see how Melo elevates his game in the finals. He shouldn't be wasting the last good years that he has left playing in meaningless/irrelevant games while fighting for 8th seeds with this clueless organization.

I counted at least 4 BS calls in favor of Mavs already and this is 1st Q.

But yeah if that was Harden of Westbrook driving instead of us.. you know what i'm saying
