[kingfoamnyc]

Grant and KP pick and roll was filthy last year

summit at the championship parade next June?

 

[pr0phecy718]

It's obvious we'll be much improved but we still got a long way to go

I ain't getting excited right now. All that press conference was all "say the right things" ....and I've seen too many of those press conferences with little results

kevin love has been grossly overrated since day 1

Gettin hyped at the press conference is like going to a tidi bar for the first time. Its fun but really a waste of time

Since Hornacek mentioned that we will play a lot of small lineups. So it means Lopez will get traded? It'd be a waste to bench a $12 mill big guy often.

Yup

Been there, done that...I need to see results on the court, I'm not gonna get hyped over what they say lol

 

[donewithjs]

Why did I just get an alert saying "Rockets have the inside edge on signing Lin due to his relationship with D'Antoni" since when is Lin relevant enough to get an alert.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Since he did the Jordan shrug

 

[nick.]

Hornacek, on WFAN,: "The amount of 3's the Knicks took last year, we'll probably take a few more this year."

Hornacek says he will likely round out his staff and choose his assistants by "early next week."

 

[pr0phecy718]

Enough talk, we need better players

 

[bm35]

Melo never leave the crib without his headband

i'm a fan of Allen Crabbe

i've kind of cooled on Bazemore since he'll be 27 in July & might be close to his ceiling as a player.

Since the Hornacek hiring is official, would you rather a small ball frontcourt of Melo at the 4 & KP at the 5 (similar to Morris - Frye in PHX )

Or, stick with the traditional lineup with Rolo at the 5. KP seems more comfortable at the 4 right now, and it keeps him out of foul trouble.

However i could see Melo dominating at the 4

I like the idea of small ball. Depends on who we have run point guard.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Bring back D-Will, sign Hernangomez, bring back Jamal Crawford and let everyone else walk.

 

[paulminus]

I hope we keep DWill.

Wouldn't be surprised if we tried to attain Josh Smith & Jennings.
PHX were intrigued by Gordon Hayward but we lack the assets if Hornacek would still want him

 

[Air Pope]

DWill is gonna want to get paid. Idk if we can keep him

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Hayward is

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Embrace small ball more but keep RoLo around h less we can trade him for a very good guard

 

[goldenchild9]

Embrace the small ball, keep RoLo and use him sparingly like GSW uses Bogut.

There are still matchups where you need that traditional center.

That's why OKC was able to compete with GSW, they had Adams, Ibaka and Kanter giving them fits in the paint and on the boards.

Point Forwards with length are the future and the only type of roster than can beat GSW. That's why Milwaukee has given them problems.

Melo, KP & Batum would terrorize the league on both ends of the floor.

Just came back from watching ninja turtles 2....Carmelo acting skills on point

Nice to see the knicks play a game in MSG in June

Btw, in the ninja turtle world, melo is indeed a superstar...he gives hope to people
