"State you position on the Knicks" thread

[QUOTE=Scoooter]I didn't say I wouldn't take it, I asked if it would work. I was under the impression that you believed winning in the modern NBA required two or three stars.[/QUOTE]
I believe Miami has set the bar of what teams have to put on the floor to compete.

And the only team that truly has a chance is us.

You won't beat them with unproven talent or guys trying to jump start their careers.

I truly felt OKC would give them a run for it, and they truthfully got demolished due to Durant primarily having to actually defend and score, and he failed miserably at it.

[QUOTE=franchize]Well, first of all, I think Melo is a top 10 player in this league. Secondly, Melo n Amare are perennial allstars. Its really no comparison. Get players that can play! Period! If we go over the cap, so be it. But if you do, it better be worth it. [B]The verdict is still out on Amare. After this year, if hes still on his BS, he goes on my sh*t list too![/B][/QUOTE]

:wtf: After this year? He has til the trade deadline at best to turn his shit around. If he comes back in to this season playing the way he has been playing he's got to go.

Felton might be good for him to turn things around but...Fat F*ck Felton needs to trim the title he has first.

Alot is riding on that combo right there.

I think the Lakers would take the Heat in a series. And if they swap Bynum for Dwight? Goodnight.

The Knicks I don't think are anywhere near that tier.

i just want a season where we dont suck straight off the bat and require some luck towards the end to make it


atleast want to enjoy winning early and keep it strong throughout
want to be known as the it team throughout on espn

amare needs to bring it like 10/11 season and stop pussaying around

The knicks go no where if the 2 highest paid players don't play both ends of the floor most nights.

Now that we didn't resign J-Lin, do we have any money left to sign other free agents? If we do... who is left?

I think we can all agree with that. I'll take it a step further. We go nowhere if Felton doesn't realize this isn't D'Antoni's Knicks and he has to come in ready to defend and be in tip top shape. Woodson already said even before Felton, training camp is going to be about figure out our identity and our strategy for next year. It will NOT be used for getting in shape. In other words, you @$$ better be in shape already. Shump is ahead of schedule in his rehab so far. Melo lost like 15 lbs. Kidd is busy getting drunk. Chandler looks like he added some bulk and I expect that he'll be in shape after playing in London for sure. JR has been in gr8 shape since HS. Felton better get his ass in gear. Woody aint playin games. He reminds me of that old school blakc dad that'll make you go pick a switch outside lol
