In 2013 Thibodeau got a bulls team that had about the same amount of talent as this Knicks roster to 48 wins and the second round. They had no Rose, Butler was just developing at that point and their best players were Noah and Nate Robinson. KP and Melo are better than anyone on that team This team is underperforming. They should finish the season at around .500 but way it's going they might not make it to 30 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team jax inherited when he got here was old and had its window closed with a bad cap situation. Two years later you have Porzingis and a much better cap situation going forward.

And if can find another solid player or 2 in the draft or free agency and perhaps move Anthony for some useful pieces he is in fact a genius.

Jackson is in it for the paycheck. I think the writing's on the wall he'll be gone after this year and Mills will be back fulltime with Isiah in the background. The team is ****ed untill Melo's contract expires anyways. The Bargnani trade is literally the worst trade in sports history. Dolan owing an agency a favor basically destroyed the franchise for the next few years. But hey, who cares about draft picks right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Bargnani trade is awful, but saying it "destroyed the franchise" is a bit much because the Knicks would not be getting a top pick this year anyway. Knicks need to hire Thibs.

I think Mike Conley or Drummond are possibilities this off season. Drummond has been all pro this season yet he can't even get voted to the all star team that has to bother him. Other possibility is Phil scoops his head out his ass and hires Thibs who brings Noah with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bargs trade was horrible but at least this year's draft isn't close to what last year's draft was in talent Carmelo has 3 years left on his deal and by then Porzingis will probably be a top 7 or 8 player in the league. Please hire Thibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thibs is a Van Gundy guy, which means in addition to Jackson not wanting him, Dolan probably isn't clamoring for him either. Prediction... Jackson goes after Walton in the off-season, only to get spurned ala Kerr, and has to settle on Brian Shaw. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 To make matters worse, Thibs is actually a Triangle Office HC, running pure triangle sets at least 25% of half court sets. FU Jax if you don't get this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 What about Melo for Howard straight up? Houston wanted him bad in free agency and everything between him and Morey supposedly went great when they met. The salaries match up, Howard gets half a season in a pressure-free scenario where nobody is legit expecting him to stay and can opt out at the end of the year for another payday, Houston gets their guy, Melo can go and play on a team where he doesn't have the spotlight on him all the time in a place that he was interested in prior, and the Knicks get some serious money off the books going forward and a clean slate to build around Kristaps. Win/win/win/win for all parties. Howard's a cancer but that's worth putting up with for less than half a year to get $80 million off the books.

I would have liked the idea of betting on Lawson rather than Lopez to turn it around but Lopez kind of already has. I don't see Houston trading opt out ass cancer for long term ass cancer. Obviously Fire Phil because he's a stupid idiot. Porzingis seems like more of a miraculous stroke of luck every time Phil talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the hightops That is a really tough call and it would depend entirely on the condition and time of year. Resale value depends on a bunch of factors, but ballparking it generally; beat up a couple hundred bucks. Deadstock with the box and hangtag would probably fetch about 2k. Worth noting they would take while to move. OG 1's someone would be purchasing strictly as a collector's item and not for wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
