    Default Knicks are one piece away from being a contending team

    Knicks look good out there. But I think they need a legit 3rd scoring option behind Melo and Zinger. Afflalo is nice, but he's not the guy. This is where I think a guy like J.R. Smith would actually make a difference even though he's a cancer.

    The weakest link on this team to me is Robin Lopez. Even replacing Lopez with a Center that can score would be an improvement.

    JR and Bargnani would be perfect. But they had to be the scapegoats.


    I'm not sure this team is 1 piece away or not but definitely think there should be an effort made to try and trade for a 1st/2nd option type. Fisher is too dumb to coach 12 guys he thinks should play. You might have to give him an unbalanced roster where he doesn't have many decisions. (Of course if he'll play Thomas and Amundsen maybe there isn't a way other than 4-5 rookies)

    Wizards get Dwight

    Rockets get r Lopez, saraphin, dwill

    Knicks get Nene, humphries, dekker



    Not that nene is that "1" guy but he would be a great fit with Carmelo and porzingis and the triangle. His interior passing w Carmelo is so beautiful to watch. And dekker is the guy Phil wanted with the pick he got grant at. Dekker could play 2, 3, or 4 and get Thomas off the court eventually

    Our weakness is clearly at the guard position, both of them. Even though Lopez is overpaid he does do some decent things out there. He was a wasted purchase though.

    The team could use a third option, but JR is not that guy at all.

    Actually, now that I think about it, Shved would have been nice to have in this offense.

    Knicks should sign Fredette.

    I didn't. But this team does need more scoring. Watching saraphin and Sasha try to provide it is ugly.



    Kobe, clarkson, nance jr
    For
    Calderon, afflalo, dwill, saraphin, 1st, 2 2nds

    I always liked jimmer and think he could fill a role. Esp in the triangle. But he's already signed w New Orleans


    I would love a trade for Fournier or Alec burks or wroten.

    Pelicans cut Fredette. He's playing on our D-League team.

    If the cat can ball, why isn't he in the league when the likes of Lin, Felton and Jack can find work?

    Right. His defense is non-existent. Only thing Jimmer has going for him is that he can create his own shot and get hot in a hurry.

    Freddette cannot create his own offense. It's part of why he can't find a long-term spot.
