I know they can do it, but it's hard to see them paying $120M+ for just Russ, George, Melo, and Adams

For some reason I thought Wade had a 3 year deal, it makes a lot more sense why they're buying him out now.

Anytime you can turn James Harden, Serge Ibaka and Kevin Durant into Melo, Paul George, Mitch McGary, Alex Abrines, and Steven Adams I think you have to pull the trigger

JR is a good player. B+ three point shooter and B wing defender is very valuable. Obviously that's assuming his shooting last year being at a low ebb due to his fractured thumb and family situation.

Why degrade your quality of life for minimal returns? ALso, like Javale, he's an awesome (in the traditional sense) leaper and he threw down one of my favorite dunks of all time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w_1CsiLEfI And, like Javale, for many years he was being misused and underrated and made fun of for mental lapses but then you get him on the right team and he's an essential piece of a championship.

[quote="“ChickenMedium”" post="“476749499”"] I feel like 14 wins is a bit optimistic for this year’s Knicks. [/quote] The real test of intentionally-tanking teams like New York is whether they'll be able to out-lose the Bulls.

RCarr posted:Also I agree with this, at this point in his career Melo is a huge net negative and it's hilarious to see people try to justify how this is a good deal. The Knicks are a terrible team who need all the talent they can get and they have been desperate for over a year to find a way to get rid of Melo. Like how does that speak to his talent in any way? They took a flyer on a few young players who might or might not pan out, whatever, they got something of value in return for a guy they could have very well bought out. It's a great deal for NY. Oklahoma City is going to have not enough shots to go around for their players and are going to have huge defensive and rebounding problems whenever Adams has to rest.

at the people saying it was a bad deal for the Knicks. Trading Melo for a bag of peanuts is a good deal. Good riddance.

Roberson, George and Adams are all + defenders. George can guard 2-4, Roberson is an elite wing defender, Adams is as stated, And Westbrook can play defense and with less of an offensive load, he won't have to save his energy for the offensive end like he had to last year. Melo is the only glaring weak point when their starters are out there. And one bad defensive player isn't the end of the world. Dexo fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Sep 25, 2017 |
