Knicks sign Hardaway

[3toheadmelo]

We arent losing that much with Nets Bulls Pacers Hawks and bottom fodder in West around

Thought you would like Bridges, colour me surprised

hes good but hes not tank worthy at all

we gotta aim for porter, doncic, bamba, ayton
one of those at least

Yeah, not gonna happen, do you think we are worse than Bulls, Hawks, Pacers, Nets?

i dont know but i think we'll be pretty bad
assuming with carmelo gone, we should be in the running for at least top 6

[waya]

We were due for some bad sh*t to happen to us. Things were going surprisingly pleasant this offseason until this

LOVE IT

Welp that sure isn't what I was expecting... hopefully I'll be right about his offense being a compliment to frank...

Goddamn that's a lot... Steve, bro...

[will34]

People complain about us not being young. Want us to not compete for years and tank. Now you're worried about us losing cap space... Make up your damn minds. If were not going to compete for years than this chit doesn't matter anyway.

It doesn't matter really in terms of the future but it shows the FO continues to have no fugging clue what they're doing. That's the big takeaway. And so it goes..

Timmy is still young and averaged 15 on an above average true shooting percentage. Of you go by Dion got Hardaway was fairly paid. But people wanna freak out for no reason...

Ya great. Let me know when he plays defense.

[shtolky]

Wonder what Hardaway ate at the barbecue.

His lack of passing is actually the worst thing. He'll hog shots from KP.

Why are people saying he is a chucker? Taking shots from KP? The guy shot like 11 times per game in almost 30 min last year. He's not a chucker at all. Even post all star when he was very good he shot like 13 shots per game. This is going to be KP's team, but he can't take all of the shots.

[BowlRips]

Hardaway took over some games in shocking fashion last season. Still. Besides his D, he's a poor passer.

He's a good scorer but not liking it.

In no way is he a good fit with Frank.

not sure why you assume that.. from what we know Frank is not score first.. Timmy is.. sounds like a good compliment

[El Poochio]

i swear to god we better not play frank and timmy together. Both of them have loose handles. well frank is just tall so its hard for him to get low to the ground and timmy just sucks at dribbling. this could get ugly. we need to pair frank with a quicker point guard that can get to the rim so frank can play his true position SG.

THJ opens up the OP Frank KP pick n pop

we will have trouble against quick guards that like to press. and Until franks adds muscle and becomes more explosive (which he will because he is young) his weakness is going to be getting to the rim. our backcourt might seriously average 4 free throw attempts per game if its timmy and frank.

but on the bright side. I just realized Timmy is a Hornacek type player. He would play the same role that gerald green played in phoenix. shoots 3's and attack the close out. except I dont think gerald green was good at hitting the mid-range pull-up like timmy IIRC

Definitely agree we will struggle against quickness, hopefully Frank improves somehow in that regard for future, or maybe we address that in draft but I would prefer an explosive wing with star potential if possible at this point

Mills is trying to impress someone in order to get the President of Operations position.

Here we go already.
KP doesn't need all the damn shots.

It seems that's all you all here care about.

[Knicks_Fan2]

Just because we have $18 mm free doesn't mean we have to use it. You can be the dumping ground for teams or just roll it over to next season when there is a fresh crop of FAs and most teams are capped out as the cap remains flat. This team is insanely shortsighted and is going nowhere fast. The only silver lining here is that he won't help us win so we will still suck which is a good thing.

Way to chase down and tackle that silver lining.

It's a lot of money but everyone is getting paid these days. In the long run, this might not be as bad as it seems initially.

[SpikJagger]

We are bugging. Did Hardaway at least learn to play average D with the Hawks?

No, but he sure did learn how to shoot more.

[MetaKnick13]

This just doesn't add up...what the hell is this team doing?

[HEZI]

Melo loved him, called him his prodigy

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/report-carmelo-anthony-told-tim-hardaway-jr-hed-beat-him-up/

Yeah I know, Melo has temper problems apparently. He still loved him and called him his prodigy and wasn't happy when he got traded

[Carl_Karlson]

Haha. I fcking knew it. This organization is ADDICTED to self sabotage. We can't even get Stockholm Syndrome for OURSELVES!

I CHANGED MY MIND! TRADE A FIRST FOR PRESTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111

[3toheadmelo]

phil is probably still advising the knicks

[EchelonNYK]

Everyone is laughing at us. Congrats Knicks.

[Handledatruth]

The player is solid, but the money is terrible. Not sure if this is new NBA or just Knicks.

[selenium]

Melo's like... I thought I was done with this nonsense. Melo now open to trades to the North West probably now.

Melo loved him, called him his prodigy

Melo considers every young player his protege,


Until they getthe ball more than he does
