2015 NY Knicks offseason thread, Los Almighty appreciation thread

This is what Phil does guys. He is not going to say he "needs" a lead guard while Calderon/Galloway are still on the roster and no bigs are under contract. I wouldnt look too much into this, despite the fact that the media will. Phil knows what is needed to build a championship contender. However, he isnt going to throw any players under contract under the bus. 
 
I'ma have a stroke between now and Thursday with all these damn rumors. I gotta block this stuff out :lol:
 
Jennings for Caldo + THJR ?

I would do it just to trade Jennings for an asset or pick.


Can we move up 2nd or 3rd if we offer LA or Philly Jennings and the 4th pick?
That would clear Caldo + Jennings off the cap

Isola is sooo ******* butthurt right now that Phil is speaking to all of these media members but not him. He's been going off on twitter

Isola to me is a lot like Skip. Both are capable of making good points when they look at something objectively (rarely), but 95% of the time they let their own personal agendas get in the way and ******* troll everybody.

Phil can do no right in Isola's eyes because he is so anti-Dolan. Which is good, I am anti-Dolan as well obviously, and I enjoy when Isola talks **** about him. But he gets too carried away with it and fails to ever look at Phil and his rebuilding process objectively.

He is ready to kick Phil out of the door after one year, despite being the one trying to tell everybody that this was not going to be an overnight process at this time last year.

Anything Phil says/does is sure to follow with some sort of Isola troll. No matter what. Only way to win a troll like that over is to win.

It's like in "Major League" when the team found out that ***** owner wanted the team to lose so she could move the team to Miami or she would replace them with players who could lose if they dont. And they were like "Well I guess there's only one thing left to do... Win the whole ******* thing."

Jackson said Carmelo Anthony’s rehab from knee surgery continue “to go well’’ and acknowledged Anthony could play more at the 4 this season, pending the roster.
There we go Phil. Adapt or die baby

If the triangle is the long term plan I could see PJ drafting a big. The pg spot in the triangle doesn't need to be explosive but rather a facilitator and spot up shooter. At least that's my take looking at the pgs on the successful triangle teams. Still have grown to like Muddy most.
 
smokescreen plan:

1) state you are solid at the "lead guard" position
2) float Jennings rumors
3) get teams to believe that you are passing on Russell/Muddiay and instead willing to take Porzingis

why?

- teams who want a PG will no longer aim to swap with Philly but rather with Orlando at 5... leaving us with Russell/Muddiay
- teams who want Porzingis know that WE are the team they need to swap with to get him, not Orlando or Sac at 6

Sporting News:


The Suns had talks with the Knicks about dealing the fourth pick for point guard Eric Bledsoe and the No. 13 pick, but Phoenix has not been limited to the Knicks in that regard. The Suns have been dangling Bledsoe in trade offers this offseason and are likely to continue to do so after the draft if Bledsoe is not moved this week, sources confirmed.

Kaminsky is among the Suns’ targets in the draft, but there is some question as to whether he will still be around at No. 13. Kaminsky had a good workout and meeting with Indiana, which picks No. 11. Kaminsky has not worked out with any teams beyond the 13th pick.
 
@rayray3thousand I like the way you think brotha.

Learn from your mistakes. No more "let the entire ******* world know that we want to take Steph Curry at 8 so we can watch him go at 7" ****

As if Curry wasn't a legit 7th pick. Maybe, just maybe, the people in the organization saw he was a player. Rather than lie it'd be smarter to not say anything. I'm still wih PJ but its obvious from last season that Zen crap only works when you're winning! LOL

To piggyback off of @rayray3thousand  comments, another benefit of hyping up our potential interest in a big/Zinger is not only to encourage teams that we are the ones they need to trade with to get Zinger, but also make Philly a more attractive trade partner for Zinger.

The initial rumors that Philly is into Zinger has been trending towards Philly using that interest to find a trade partner, but that the interest is not real. The new rumor is that they would rather trade back and draft a PG as they do not have much of a preference between Russell and Mudiay. They like them both so they would rather get one of them and a trade asset back as opposed to staying at 3 and taking the one they prefer.

However, if a team like Orlando wants Zinger and believes that Philly's interest is all a front (as people are starting to say it is) and the Knicks will take a PG, it makes them more content staying at #5.  However, if they feel that Phil will take Zinger at #4, they might be more encouraged to play into Hinkie's hand anyway, even without actually believing that Philly would take Zinger, and trade up to draft Zinger. Confusing, yes, but this process is

Point is that if it is true that the Sixers are content with either Russell or Mudiay and are looking to trade down, it makes sense to express a strong public interest in a player like Porzingis who is rapidly climbing the draft board.

In this regard, a team like Orlando trading up to 3 to get Zinger could work out in both our's and Philadelphia's favor. Orlando would trade up to draft Zinger, we would get our choice at PG (likely Russell) and the Sixers would get Mudiay and an asset from Orlando, which is what they are rumored to want with their own perceived interest in Zinger aanyway.

It's like they say, if pull out a gun, you gotta show that you are prepared to use it if need be
