Tell me how any of this has to do with Phil, aside from the fact that he assembled the team (and I know that's a big aside, but humor me for a moment):

-The vibes in the locker room this season were terrible
-Noah was the vocal leader they needed, needed more players like him
-Noah played in a system his whole career so he "knows how to play the right way and refuses to play another"
-Noah was the one guy who would tell players things they don't want to hear
-Shame Noah couldn't play more, because from the bench, he couldn't make up for the "stupid mistakes" the team constantly made
-KP tried to be a leader and speak up in the locker room, but you can't change guys who have been playing hero ball for 10 years (aka, can't change the spots on a leopard)
-KP's brothers were pissed about KP not getting the ball this year. During one game, Jianis broke a TV in a hotel room after watching the Knicks freeze out KP
-only thing KP says about Melo is that he's a "really chill dude", and "nothing can fire him up". AKA, he's there to collect his money and score points, and doesn't have sh*t to say, even when the team is in dire need of a leader

Melo is a BITCH and a CANCER. GTFOH.

KP loves NY, loves being a Knick, and if he doesn't love Phil, he sure as hell respects him, and will learn to respect him even more once the cancer is removed and the Knicks start playing "the right way", just as KP keeps lobbying for publicly.

Do yourself a favor and ignore the Debbie Downers on this forum. The alarmists, the fear mongers, the jealous nut jobs who can't stomach Phil's success, the neurotic wackos who think they should have been NBA execs in another life, and the seasoned posters on this board who would rather promote their own catch phrases than have a real basketball discussion.

Ignore them all. Everything is fine, because Phil is trading Melo's ass and rebuilding around KP, and you will like it.


don't choke on all that peyote bill, you're almost getting as senile as phil. i legit laughed at the bolded


kinda like, this cake is disgusting. i blame the sugar and the flour but not the guy who baked it.


the rationalization of phil's incredibly mediocre reign as knicks executive is truly mind blowing. that pidto post was like some charley rosen erotica i need to take a shower after reading that peyote propaganda.

Prolly. I can see him getting a one year deal for anywhere between 10 and 15. And the Phil fanatics will say it's a great, low risk move.

San Antonio Spurs Davis Bertans is other NBA player out of Latvia. I don't think that Frank is gonna made it to the NT.

But KP will play against Jokic in the group stage tbh.


Thanks. I was hoping to see as much of our potential draft pick play as possible. What about Doncic?

all jokes aside, i wouldn't want rose for the mle off the bench. i don't want him for the league minimum. there's nothing good about him unless you're looking to lose.

I think he will make it the NT, but will he play? That's up to him.
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

dude called rose an "unparalleled scorer" i still can't and won't get over that. that's an absurd amount of praise for a player who literally quit the team and went AWOL when he didn't get his money.

I would send KP out for a top 3 pick this year and a future mid 1st in 2018 or 2019.

I'd send him out for the top pick this year. Remember the Revis situation? It's getting to that point.

Ps, **** you hardaway.

I still support KP, but he's handling this just as poorly as he thinks Phil handled things with Melo.

I would trade Porzingis for a 1975 2nd round pick.

We all just hope that if we don't acknowledge the possibility it might not happen. I try not to think about it. If we made a Noah sized offer to Rose I don't know if I could keep watching. That would be beyond awful.
