Mike did have the best PG for years and was never able to get out of the conference,sorry. Defense wins championships. Mike's teams don't play defense. He doesn't care about defense. He'll never get to the promised land, at least as a head coach. He'd be great as the offensive coach but a head coach? No. Knicks need to blow it up.

I'll take 55-27 and second round/conf. finals appearances every fucking season as a fan.

Only so many rings to hand out. If shit breaks your way, it breaks your way.

To be mad at MDA for winning is outlandish. History shows us, greats of the greats dominate the rings. He's never had that player. Never will. But he's done a fine job without one.

Edit: They were 7-0 with healthy players running his shit. PROPERLY. Lin, Novak, Jeffries, Shump-Shump.

Its right in our faces, man.
 
Pringles has never had this much talent. He had a team consisting of Boris Diaw, Barbosa, and Raja Bell contending for a title. Think about that shit for a second.

No one played defense on the Suns. Tyson Chandler, Shumpert, and several other players on the Knicks are at the very least good defensive players and maybe even great ones.

If you don't have a defensive coach and system, it doesn't matter how good of a defensive player you have, your defense will still be crap. E.g 2009 playoffs magic.

What talent, dude. Amare/ Melo avg pieces.

Prime Amare/Nash avg pieces.

Its the same shit, Melo just cant hit any fucking shots.

And he has this much talent and what is he doing? That is the worst part about this whole thing. Even with this much 'talent' he can't do shit. I don't care if Melo is the reason or not. Pringles has the talent that other coaches would DIE for and he still can't do shit with it. Phil Jackson, after losing Michael Jordan, still was able to get the Bulls extremely close to the finals. He had Scottie Pippen and it was Tony's first year in the league. Rick Adleman is pulling a freaking bunny out of a hat in Minnesota. Mike has Tyson, Amare, and Melo and wtf is going on?

What talent when Melo is shooting 39 percent?
 
In all seriousness, what is there to do in order to make this work?

Trading for Deron Williams will never happen. The Nets would never do it because they're the Nets (they hate the Knicks) - and their object is to team Deron with Dwight.

Carmelo Anthony cost the Knicks a number of pieces they'd love to have right now - Gallo, Mozgov, W. Chandler, picks - and if he's traded again, he's not going to get any comparable value back.

The coaching situation is another tenuous one - we don't want D'Antoni, but we can't realistically get any actual good/proven coaches either. JVG will never come back to coach here. Thibodeau will probably be locked up. Rivers will probably be locked up. Phil Jackson isn't coming out of retirement to coach here with the team in this state.

We should blow it up, but how? We already lost our GM who got us back to respectability less than a year ago in Donnie Walsh. We already blew it up the last two years to get the guys we have.
 
1) Never should've made the McGrady trade.
2) SVG
3) Prayers

edit: Beasley? Maybe we could crack 90ppg while still having a -15 point differential. TANK SO HARD

Are you one of those folks who think Phil isn't a great coach because he had MJ, Scottie, Shaq, and Kobe? It's the coaches job to get the most out of his players and Mike isn't doing that.
 
According to REALGM rumors, Pau is pushing for the trade to the Bulls, since both he and Rose have the same agent, and wants them paired up.

This is the opposite of what the Wolves should do.

Oh god please don't have this happen... It makes no sense. Why would they want to trade for a piece of crap PF when they already are overfilled at that position. And if it's just for an expiring contract they might as well just keep Beasley because at least he is semi-productive on the court while the Wolves wait for this summer and his expiration.

Sounds like a bunch of bs on this one. Don't think Pau wants to leave. MAYBE he said "if you want to trade me, I'd prefer to go to the bulls" but pushing for the trade? Not sure.

i wonder who is to blame for lin's horrible efficiency and chucking.
Click to expand...

Anyone but Lin, of course. Main culprit is Melo.
 
Any chance Melo can net Josh Smith? I know Atlanta can't want Joe Johnson 2.0.... but then they did want to pay Joe Johnson 120 million - no?

Who? 15 points a game, 6 assists, 2 steals a game, 45 percent shooting, 2nd year player Jeremy Lin??

The last 5 games:

4-11 3 TO
5-18 6 TO
8-14 5 TO
7-15 1 TO
4-13 2 TO

He hasn't earned the right to take that many shots especially with his Linover rate.

EDIT: And looking back at his college career he never took that many shots either...puzzling.

What were his AST totals in those games?
How many shots did Melo or STAT (in particularly STAT) take in those games?
How many shots did JR Smith take in those games?

My point is melo and stat are the only people who have earned the right to take that many shots ...He as much as melo/stat has lost games for the knicks due to his persistent chucking.

EDIT: And he probably should stick with asts since he's apparently only good for that.
 
BTW, let me post this again. Who disagrees with this trade? http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7pa24ao

LAL would shore up two of their weakest positions, while actually getting into BETTER contract situations. The Celtics don't want to drop into the lottery, and this would allow them to replace KG and Allen (to a certain extent), while getting their center of the future.

You werent watching the Knicks when they were winning, so I have nothing in defense to say of Lin because simply I dont have to. And he has proven he doesnt need defending.

Blowing up the Bulls roster to get an aging Pierce, a streak shooter in Blake, and an emotionally fragile player in Gasol doesn't seem like the smartest move for a team that is number one in the East right now.

#1 in the East and still not favored over the Heat by anyone.

I don't see how Melo and STAT earned any right to take shots when they haven't hit many all year.

I agree with the idea that they should take the most shots. But if they're not hitting them, and Smith's not hitting them, and Fields and Shump aren't hitting them, Lin should step up and take them.

You do it if you're convinced you can't get past the Heat with the current team, like I am.
 
Rodeo Clown said:
He's having a bit of a down year, but he was putting up 19 a game last year with the Suns. I think he can still play. Contract isn't terrible, either (3 years, 18M).

Also important to consider what the Wolves' other options are now and what their options would be this summer. The rumors have been Crawford, CJ Miles (yuck), and now Richardson. This summer, all the decent wings will be RFAs and not realistically attainable (Courtney Lee, etc).

So if the Wolves could swing a deal for JRich, I would probably do it.

I would probably take a first rounder over him (coaching staff might actually draft well), but if he's the only thing available than I would deal.

Seriously dude, Carmelo anthony and amare stoudemire are not on the same level as Jeremy lin. Not on the same level at all.
