NYK '14 offseason thread

[sea manup]

without a shot at a good draft pick anytime soon, the best player you guys can hold on to is melo (doubt you guys will throw everything away and wait all that time to tank and start rebuilding from the ground up)

if phil/melo can convince a few key guys to come over while phil trains a coach (kerr?) like pat did with spo then i can see you guys being contenders within 3-4 years

but we still have to see if phil is a good gm or not, rooting for him though

@IanBegley: Owner James Dolan says that he's by no means a basketball expert & that he was a bit out of his element regarding basketball decisions.

I'm mad it took him this long to realize that.

He's been saying that for a while tho.

It says a lot about a person who says he's not an expert at something, but continually goes about it as if he knows what he's doing. I guess it's that "being born on 3rd base, but acts like he hit a triple" saying for him.

We need to get rid of JR & Felton for 2015 reasons

Phil is so eloquent and just demands respect through his demeanor...

 

[mrdozo]

to put it mildly, this is epic.

a new chapter in ny basketball.

welcome back Phil

Still having a hard time digesting all the salt towards Phil coming to the Knicks. I just find it a bit much when people go out of their way insisting this was a bad move and won't turn out good. I see very few scenarios where the Knicks don't improve from this, short and long term.

SAS goin INNNN on Mills

 

[8pm at msg]

Well. Let's see where this goes.

Marketing > W's.....

. Let's not be fooled here. What other teams you know does this?

I don't see what the big deal is. They're using the hype of Phil's announcement to sell some merch. That's what happens when you bring in a big name who has prior history with the franchise. Why are we supposed to be outraged?

 
@beh235  It's a picture of Kidd's Brooklyn Nets Jersey. 

Ah ok. 

The point I was trying to make is that franchises that are desperate will do anything to draw people in. Since in this case there is little championship hardware they have to market someone who isn't even playing to draw interest. It stinks, but I understand why it's done though. 

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Phil won 2 championships as a player with the Knicks. If you read his books, those days are a huge part of what he writes. The throwbacks are dope

^^

If Jordan had PJ's position with the Bulls, there would be Jordan shirts/jersey on the shelves too. just saying.

 

[Hahahaha]

SAS is a bigger ****** than Steve Mills

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Where are you guys hearing SAS talking about the PJ press conference? I'm at my desk in my office now. No access to a TV.

Spike Lee's preferred coaching candidates:

- Mark Jackson
- Shaka Smart

I'm praying to God that the Knicks take the 8th spot in the eastern conference

 

[trynafeelmink]

so at this point do you keep or trade J.R Smith?

at 6 Million he's not exactly a death contract and he can still contribute

 

[ballinsam23]

so what do you guys think is his first move?

 

[the 718 truth]

Really warming up to the idea of Steve Kerr..anyone else?

No
