The Knicks will have to target a true number one option in 2015, even better than Melo.
Who would that player be?
While 'll admit 29 year old Melo could of fallen off by that time if he hasnt then....
idk if the other player(s) has to be a true number 1. Melo needs high level PG play for passes for better shots and an outside/inside big man (which is why he is the only person excited by the idea of him playing with Barg) to first draw centers out the paint or secondly score in the post to get Melo open perimeter shots.
If you look at the top tier guys available both in 2015 and 2014 (thanks to amare $23 million expiring) there are a lot of younger guys either in their prime or going into it that will be available that fit either of those roles. for the 2015 plan to work the knicks need to...
1) keep Amare from completely breaking apart (aka no back to backs, scrimages, etc) to keep the trade option available.
2) figure out who available would be willing/wants to come to NY to play alongside melo
3) not fuck up all that available cap space on guys who arent part of the 2015 plan.
