thadude Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 19 hours ago, Flushing Roots said: To your point, I don't think Anthony has improved the chemistry anywhere. I really want to make the playoffs this year. We are 2 games out of the 8th seed in the loss column today. The season is not over. I think if we get rid of Anthony and improve the chemistry we have a shot. The ball movement when he is not on the court is so much better. The problem is more the Knicks don't have a pg than Anthony. The ball movement isn't that much better when he's not on the court Rose has been a bust. He doesn't get the calls he got in Chicago all he does is drive to the basket and throw up bricks or turn it over because he jumps with the ball before thinking about where he is passing to. Rose also makes no effort on D. Jennings is an ok at best backup and Baker can't defend me Luckily like SMC said it's a loaded draft at PG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil and Ainge have had deals plural done in principal since last year Melo blocked all of it.

Say what you will about Carmelo but he's a rational actor. If anything besides raw point totals mattered all that much as to what he gets paid, who knows, he might even have been a good player. By the same token, why the hell is he supposed to leave New York when some a$$hole gave him the choice to refuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Tommy Dee reports that Melo's agent told Phil "it's time", that is, he's ready to waive the no-trade. Dee's been pretty good on inside stuff. He reported that LeBron pushing for Melo, which Isola reported last night as well. LeBron called Isola's report as "trash" which sounds like protesting too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and, assuming Phil is still here, it's a good thing that Clarence Gains will be doing the evaluating. He and the Euro scout have done well thus far.

That's true, but when you are 70 games under .500 as an executive, you can't rely on old tricks from your coaching days. Steve Popper reports that GMs can't even reach Phil and Mills handles all the calls and makes calls to them. Phil is just a crazy, lazy old man collecting a fat paycheck. Good for him. Bad for the franchise. I like Mills and Gaines. I say make Gaines GM, Mills President and send Phil back to his ranch in Montana via the opt out (I believe it's mutual).

RutgersJetFan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Here's why that was ******* awesome: Literally every single Knicks fan on the planet would love to go after James Dolan, and to the billionth degree more on the floor of MSG. Nobody would ever be crazy enough to do that. BUT, before today, had I said to you that hypothetically speaking, the one guy with the balls big enough to do it would be Charles Oakley, you would agree with me 100%. You would totally be able to see Charles Oakley doing that. EXCEPT IT'S NOT JUST A PLAUSIBLE THING NOW. IT'S REAL. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's saying he bought a ticket and didn't do anything, security came up to him out of nowhere and asked him to leave after Dolan found out he was there. He didn't lose his sh*t until security surrounded him. And I think anyone that knows anything about James Dolan can buy that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
