Official 2017 Knicks Offseason thread, Phil Jackson gone

[donewithjs]

If you could slide rose to the 2 guard for 5 mil a year you have to do it.

 

[kn0wledgeable]

someone will sign rose for at least 10 mil a year. wish we would of traded him for rubio when the opportunity presented itself

 

[nick.]

De'Aaron Fox & Malik Monk are on CBS right now

 

[phar0]

[nick.]

Pelicans

Great night

 

[you go boy]

i dont care what pg we get but rose aint the answer.... we dont even need a great pg look at charlie ward and chris childs who were serviceable pgs not great but can do the job... rose cant do anything right... hes explosive which is good but his midrange shooting is decent at best, his 3 pointer is not all that, he needs the ball to be affective and wont pass, if he does pass he will turn it over and he cant finish at the rim... he stays getting blocked and what happen to that nice floater in the beginning of the season... its not even about what rose can do individually but what can he do to make everyone better sinces he the PG? i say try to get jrue, george hill or just draft a pg but dont sign rose and use that money elsewhere

When Rose decides to "take over" a game he actually loses it for us. Son just don't got the juice anymore and amel won't accept it. A fantastic visionary floor general would be amazing.

Lonzo would actually be good despite some of ya'lls weird issue with his pops like he's the one suiting up.

 

[nick.]

Lonzo does a good job of not feeding into Lavar's nonsense.

He'll be fine in the league.

Exactly.  Point of Lowe's quote is he's a negative, it doesn't matter what you're paying him he's not worth it.

 

[the 718 truth]

Rose isn't the reason we're trash, and he also doesn't fit the "triangle", and I can't watch anymore, and Lavar Ball is on drugs.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Lavar Ball

 

[Mark Antony]

You'd be crazy to blame all our ills on Rose, but your blind if you can't see he's a negative.

 

[everysingletime]

Ehh if you're going by box score, if you play heavy minutes on a bad team you're going to show up as a negative box score wise. Last game everyone was a negative except for Randle, and that's cuz he barely played.

If you're going by eye test, he does what he does best. He scores, and he doesn't take too many shots that he takes away from your leading scorer (Melo). To complain about his lack of assists is a function of largely ignoring how he's being used. He plays off the ball a lot and is literally being used as a small 2,expecially when Brandon Jennings was here. And now even with Jennings gone, Knicks have deprioritized high pick and roll for the triangle...of course the low assist rate won't change. How can Derrick rack up any meaningful assists when by function of the triangle the point guard is marginalized. Chris Paul himself can't get ten assists if he's forced to give the ball to Lee or Melo and wait in the corner.

The Knicks just suck. Plain and simple. Their problems go beyond one player.

I can't wait for Derrick to leave so I can see what poor schmuck you guys will scapegoat next season for when they suck.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Dog.

Rose is trash.

 

[floodarea]

I can't wait for Derrick to leave so I can see what poor schmuck you guys will scapegoat next season for when they suck.

Are you trying to tell me you think Rose will be any better on another team? If so you're beyond delusional 

He's been the same player his whole career and he ain't gonna change either

He's gonna go to another team next year and still average 15 & 5 while playing horrid defense 

 

[phar0]

what's the difference between rose and melo [emoji]129300[/emoji]

 

[Air Pope]

Yea. I gotta walk back outta here 

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Wut

Stay tuned. Rose is not done.

ian begley's new article

we're looking at frank ntilikina and malik monk in the draft

re-signing rose is not ruled out yet

jrue holiday and jeff teague are free agency targets, or trading for rubio

and still want to move melo in the offseason 

 

[nick.]

- If we move up in the top 5 I'm sure our draft targets will change

-

- Why would we want to sign Holiday or Teague if we're moving on from Melo....?
