Per Sam Amick, Knicks still in the hunt for L. Aldridge

[Legends66NBA7]

Melo and Aldridge aren't a good fit. It would be like Amare and Melo all over again.

[Paul George 24]

They wouldn't be rebuilding if LMA and 1 other mid-tier free agent went there.

why would he want to play with choke artist melo

[Fowl]

I think Aldridge will end up going to the Knicks.

He'll be a guaranteed All-Star, guaranteed deep playoff run, and he will gets lots of touches.

Then in 2016, Thats where the fun begins.
Knicks can sign a legit center to pair him up with (Hibbert,Noah,Horford,Drummond).

Porzingis will have a year under his belt and i'm predicting he'll be for the Knicks what Nikola Mirotic was for the Bulls this year.

They'll also be able to sign some help off the bench.
(OJ Mayo,Lou Williams,Jamal Crawford)

By 2016, they'll have a well formed team and have experience with the triangle.

A roster like this could be really good:

C: Roy Hibbert
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge
SF: Carmelo Anthony
SG: (Afflalo or Matthews)
PG: Jeremy Lin

Bench:
Porzingis,Grant,OJ Mayo, and Lou Williams


Shit, If Phil Jackson has big enough balls he can pull the trigger on taking Rubio and Pekovic off the Timberwolves hands as a salary dump.

Now you have:

C: Pekovic
PF: Aldridge
SF: Melo
SG: (Afflalo or Matthews)
PG: Rubio/Lin

And thats just in year one.

They'd have o trade Carmelo for him to go there.

ESPN NY is reporting that PER Sam Amick, Lamarcus wants to hear what Phil Jackson has to say before making up his mind. WHOA, this could be a HUGE for Knicks if Phil can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Aldridge and Melo would be pretty hot. NY might be back- STAY TUNED!

This is not news. If Aldridge didn't like Lakers on the basketball side, he has no reason to like NY either.

[ShackEelOKneel]

Melo and Aldridge aren't a good fit. It would be like Amare and Melo all over again.

I think worse. Amare goes to the basket more and therefore adds something different than Melo. Aldridge and Melo both like getting the ball in iso and pull up for jumpers frequently.

If the knicks get lma imma buy a new knicks snap back

David Aldridge just reported LMA cancelled his meeting with the Knicks.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings: LaMarcus Aldridge has cancelled his meeting with the Knicks today, per source.

[Bosnian Sajo]

David Aldridge just reported LMA cancelled his meeting with the Knicks.

Looks like he might of finally come to a decision.

[DavisWarriorsFan]

Knicks fans are saying "WTF you think you are turning down New York!"

[bluechox2]

LMA is too soft to face the big city

[PejaNowitzki]

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 5m5 minutes ago

Knicks meeting was cancelled once it became clear NY wanted Aldridge to play center, something he is adamant against doing, per source.
