OT: NBA Discussion Thread: Part III

[mrmovies779]

Thoughts on Dennis Smith? He's a pure PG and has a lot of talent. I feel like he's being overlooked by a lot of Knicks fans.

Question is-can he run the triangle well enough.He is more a pick and roll/iso point guard.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I'm convinced we're taking Monk or Frank. I'd prefer Monk because I'm iffy about Frank's athleticism.

If the 3-4 pick is available DO IT!
Get it done Phill
Jason Tatum would look good in the garden.

I think Josh Jackson would be the target.

I think Tatum is definitely going to the Celtics at #3. Would have to make a deal with them to get that pick in order to get Tatum.

So apparently one of the Suns reporters threw out some trash article today about KP having knee issues and disliking Hornacek. C'mon now if that isn't an obvious ploy to lower his value, idk what is.

 

[Ghost of jas]

There's a rumor (don't know how valid) floating around about a KP for BOS's pick at 3 and a future #1. If it's the Nets' pick year, I think I make that deal.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I can't believe trading porzy is being considered

 

[Mac n Gs]

 

[sbjnyc]

If he was really interested in what's best for the club he'd resign.

 

[RangerBlues]

Knicks need bodies. KP can be turned into 2-3.
He is a good player. Not a generational talent.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Don't get me wrong, I'd trade KP, especially with how he's been an immature ***** about this whole situation, and yeah I'm calling him a ***** because he needs to act like a ****ing man. If you can turn him into a prime asset now, top-3 pick, and another future first, it should be considered. Knicks need help everywhere, including getting out of cap hell and adding more prime assets.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

The guy that orchestrated the whole franchise is claiming he knows what hes doing...
Phil, you egotistical *******, this whole mess is youre fault. Who gave Melo that contract???? You did! Don't **** up the one good thing you've done.

I would also need a player in return. Maybe someone like Jaylen Brown.

Meh. I can't fault him. This is the most dysfunctional team in the league.

2 coaches. You're an inside guy/no an outside guy. Total disaster.

 

[HawkNut]

The Golden Knights did a better job in the expansion draft than what Phil Jackson is doing in New York.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

If he was really interested in what's best for the club he'd resign.

Yep.

He can be a scout who gets high with Clarence Gaines and scout good basketball players. That's about all he should be doing in regards to the league these days.

Phil trashing Melo in the media and keeping Rambis around was more unprofessional than KP skipping the exit interview.

As for DSjr, i'd be happy with him as well.

 

[nyrleetch]

Shaq skipped an exit interview in 2003. Phil saying this is the first time he's seen it done is pretty ridiculous.

Maybe he's just senile.

Come on over to the Nets, my friends. We may not have a draft pick next year, but we have DeAngelo Russell, Caris LeVert, and oh yeah, competent management.

Your owner thinks he's the Russian Mark Cuban, but in reality he's the Russian Vivek Ranadivé

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Phil Jackson NEVER cared about the Knicks.. He spent the majority of his first few years staying in LA staying with his GF who worked for/owned the Lakers(i dont remember her position exactly).. He took the Knicks and now hes trying to prove the Triangle Offense still works in the modern NBA. I'm not exactly sure the Triangle ever worked and wasn't just successful because of the talented players he was given to put in it. I for one do NOT want to support his ego experiments. He's forcing the Triangle on the entire franchise, but won't coach himself.

 

[Bluenote13]

I said it the day he was hired, Dolan pulled a Sather again - guy has nothing to prove, lives in the past and is too stubborn to change his ways. I never thought he'd take stubbornness to another level though.

Ever since he replaced King with Marks he's left the basketball decisions 100% up to the GM.

(Getting burned on what is now counted as the worst NBA trade of all time will do that to ya.)

Help me out here dont follow College ball ..If we can trade KP for number 3 pick and take Josh Jackson and take Dennis Smith Jr at 8 get another player from Boston and get the Nets pick next year that seem to be a decent haul for guy who might be a headcase and not want to be here....How good would a nucleus going ahead would Jackson and Smith Jr be? And then theres Melo and what can we get for him?
