I am fine with the trade. Some people are insane to think we would get that much. You guys are getting confused with the name carmelo and not the production and his age.

If dude can't play any defense, he can come off the bench, drain three 3's in a row..

I will miss Melo but looking at the way the fans in OKC are reacting and how they treat their players I feel happy for him. Our fans weren't acting right with Melo, and our team management kept putting him in a position to fail.

Thunder up!

exactly. Melo is a fiend but he blindness to the fact that OKC dissowned him he wants nothing good to come to that franchise. Hey KD what do you expect. You left OKC when they were close to beating GSW to make GSW impossible to beat. Do you think the breakout would be amicable, KD?

SF. Beasley/kuzmingkus/Hayes
SG. Hardaway jr/c.lee/baker/dotson
PG. Ntilikina/j.jack/sessions

I think knicks should try to move lft and O'Quinn and lee.


Where are we putting Doug McDermott?

Ahead of Kuz and Hayes, you'd think. Just like WHG should be ahead of Noah and KOQ at center, and LFT should be "DNP/CD" all year

Kanter brings offense, but we really don't need that and he doesn't bring defense.
I agree, but it's not going to be easy to move Kanter.


yeah. the 40 mill a year we have in unmovable centers isn't all that easy to get rid of.

Indeed.

Really get tired of people blaming the fans or whoever else has nothing to do with the game for Melo's and Knicks' misdoings.

OKC doesn't even populate 1 million. NYC alone has like 9 million. The bad always stick out of the bunch. For every annoying fan, you have 10 good fans. It just so happens that NYC is so crowded, so yes, you are going to have more screaming idiots and more troll writers like Isola.

I live in Memphis, and ratio wise, they have as much idiotic fans as NY.

FWIW though, I think Kanter will opt out. So it's we'll have a chance to cut that in half.


I doubt he will. Center market is essentially dead. Even a guy like Noel who actually plays defense couldn't get a single contract offer. The game changed. Defense is not optional at five spot.

sas says there was no offer from cleveland, they wouldn't return the knicks calls, says phil killed our chances of getting value for him




I don't know, hard to believe any GM would not courtesy return a call. What if you're the one who wants a deal next time.
