Do the Knicks have more talent than the Bulls?

[Dengness9]

I originally would have said the Knicks at first glance. But looking further into it...

As good as Melo is or can be, he's the 2nd best player of the two teams. Derrick Rose is clearly the most talented IMO. And I really have always been a Melo fan.


If Amare gets an edge over Booz at this point, it's VERY slight, cuz let's face it Bulls/Knicks fans.....they are aging regressing former allstars.

Looking at Deng.....he isn't as talented as Melo, but with the way he plays defense, he is one of the best 2 way SF's in the L, and will never catch Melo as far as value goes for a player, but is pretty close behind evidenced by making the All-star team this year.

Noah and Chandler are very comparable as I already said previously in this thread, and both play with great passion and energy. Chandler had a better first half, but Noah is going OFF in the 2nd half. Had he played like this earlier, Roy Hibbert wouldn't be the East's reserve Center.

Lin is talented but we still need more time to really see what his career becomes.

JR Smith is uber talented but I would take Ronnie Brewer over him all day. More dependable, 2 way player, gives max effort and has nice size. Is much more coachable, accepts his role.

Novak has been awesome, move over Korver, but don't underrate Korver at the same time. He, like Novak, hits big 3's for his team.

Cj Watson/Asik/Gibson are moderately talented as well.

Shumpert has nice potential.

I dont see what makes amare statemire better than boozer. Neither play anything remotely close to defense. Boozer has a much better post game, they have even jump shooting ability, boozers a better passer. What makes amare better?

Are we including the coaches in the talent comparison?

Good question, and we all know how that comparison would work out.

Pringles fails completely, except when he has the perfect players for his "system". That was in Phx, not in NY.
