You got $15 to spend on players, what team you running with? 

Post#1 » by Im Coming Home » Mon Mar 13, 2017 10:07 pm

So NY Knicks Memes page posted this and I thought it was really cool.

Read on Twitter


What is the best team you can make? Note: This is their 'Prime Knicks form' not Career Prime.

Image

I personally went with..

Camby
Porzingis
Spreewell
C.Lee
Marbury

It was hard leaving Patrick off the team honestly but I think the team above has great balance.

I think Spreewell/KP/Marbury is enough to win.

KP/Camby is amazing defensively, and Camby rebounds very well.

KP doing what he does, spreading the floor and running PnR with Marbury.

Spreewell is an amazing 2 way player, slasher at the 3.

C.Lee out there playing good defense and spacing the floor with his 3 ball while still being an option to help create for others.

Marbury can attack the lane and hit the 3 ball as well.

---

Not saying they'd win it all but they'd be a great team.

We're talking Prime Knicks Marbury, not end of his Knicks career Marbury.

In today's NBA?

Camby - 3
KP - 2
Wilson - 1
Spree - 4
Jackson - 5

In general

Ewing - 5
Porzingis - 2
Chandler - 1
C.Lee - 2
Jackson - 5

It saddens me how terrible all those PG's are defensively.

Almost went with that lineup in the end I just loved the idea of Spree locking down the perimeter with Kp and Ewing having the inside out game going. But you and I have the most balanced squads, not picking Jax was tough

I thought about Spree, but couldn't resist Jax rookie numbers. Ewing's prime was as a Knicks and he is certainly worth the 5 over anyone else listed.

Having a sniper from three is a no brainer for me, as well as having a versatile defender who can score for the low cost.

KP and Ewing swatting everything in the paint would be such a beauty to see.

The guy who runs the page said he couldn't put Childs/Ward because that would make it took easy, I agree with him because its harder to take on Nate. :lol:
