Former Knick Charles Oakley says that Carmelo and Co. need to understand where they fit in on the team if they have any hopes of winning a championship this season.
I think its all about how you view your team and everybody knowing what their roles are, Oakley told The Post. You look at Miami, the first year together, they made the Finals, but the second year they won it. They had a better understanding of their roles together. I think thats what the Knicks need to do and players need to understand if theyre the first option, second option or third option. When a team is paying you $100 million you shouldnt be arguing over who is first.
Its up to Coach [Woodson] to decide how he wants to coach the offense, Oakley said while promoting Moore Training resistance bands. I think the problem with the Knicks is that their best two guys dont make the people around them better. You see it with the Miamis, the Oklahoma Citys, the Bulls, their top guys make others better. If thats the case, Im going to make sure that my top two guys have the ball at all times.
