Congratz Knick fans, turns out your owner gives a drat. He might be garbage at running a team, but at least he tries.

Now the Knicks players can pretend like they're happy because Phil is gone, which will last approximately 20 games into the season as the team slowly realizes that playing with Melo sucks no matter what GM you have

Dexo posted:Not playing the Triangle and letting Hornacek run a modern NBA offense might do wonders for that team. Yeah Melo got D'antoni fired because a modern offense required far too much passing for his liking. The triangle is modern compared to the ISO garbage Melo demands. He's made it real clear he'll ignore any coach or GM that tries to make him pass. But more importantly the Knicks DRtng spikes up to 113.8 when Melo's on the court (compared to 108 when he's off it, which is .8 better than league average)

The monkey paw thing gets thrown around here too much, but Dolan firing Jackson because he'd rather do that than buy out Melo is probably not a good sign for the future.

Rick posted:The monkey paw thing gets thrown around here too much, but Dolan firing Jackson because he'd rather do that than buy out Melo is probably not a good sign for the future. I disagree with that one. Melo is nothing more than a symptom of the incompetence. Simply buying out Melo doesn't solve anything. Other than empowering an incompetent Team president and letting said incompetent president have his way. Especially considering that team president was seriously considering trading the only goddamn asset that their team has, over pettiness at being slighted. Dolan should bring in David Griffin and let him work. It might mean 2 more years of Melo but it's not like the team is going to be good those two years, anyway. It's too late to worry about Melo, that contract has already been given out and it's his contractual right to do what's best for him and his family. If Dolan doesn't want to blow money on both and would rather buy out whatever dumb but smaller amount of money he owes Phil compared to Melo then he's making the right long term decision. Worry about the poo poo you can control, like the happiness of the player you think will be your future. Melo is 100% out of your control, unless you completely buy his contract out. https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/879957316887396352 https://twitter.com/netw3rk/status/879965171912916997 Dexo fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Jun 28, 2017 |

EvanTH posted:Dang Dexo you gotta hold some over the top hate for Phil Jackson to pretend Dolan is competent and Melo should be on the team Don't think Dolan is competent. He's making a good choice this time tho. Melo shouldnt be on the team but because of Melos negotiated contact he has the say on that... barring a 40mil+ buyout. Fire the guy that gave the contract and is running off a top prospect in the NBA. I'm a big causes over symptoms problem person though. Melo didn't offer himself that contract. Since you cant fire the owner hope that the owner fires the dude that gave out the bad deal.

Can't remember who it was here what said three years ago that Dolan was going to wait until Jackson made some decision he didn't like and start interfering again, possibly because it was everyone Anyhow with Melo sticking around the team is going to suck, the basketball is going to be ugly, the team will lose a lot and then Porzingis is going to walk. Looks like a good season to become a Nets fan.

Is it a bit too flow-chart-y to say I'm not crazy about Chris Paul on the Rockets? I mean, it would make the team better, but not "can beat GS next year" better and do we really want to be paying him $30+ mil a year when he's 36? When you think about the depth they'd have to gut to fit Paul in and his age/injury concerns, it seems like a high-risk/low-reward move relative the team as is. If they're looking to "win now," they'd be better off going all in for Paul George. He upgrades a much weaker position, and even if he leaves for LA, at least the team gets that cap space back and probably has room for another max deal. Only problem with George on the Rockets is he couldn't be PG-13 anymore.

Choosing KP (and Melo) over Phil Jackson? The Knicks are doing the right thing? This feels weird.

It's tough to read the leaves but it may be more Jackson wants out since they aren't buying out melo.
