Melo's game basically got lazy in terms of using all of his skills. Now Phil is challenging him to be more of a participant in the total offense and looking for easy baskets and a more efficient style of play. Melo has tried to plow thru the D rather than "Be Like Water" and take what the defense gives him. If Melo can change the ratio of his plays to more catch and shoot off movement that will help a lot. He's very effective that way. When Melo goes quick he's so much more dynamic and i'm sure Phil really pointed that out to him. If Melo comes off of screens and cuts to receive the ball it doesn't allow the defense to gain an edge or help.

Maybe but I could easily see the conversation being something more simple and having the same effect. Like: We want you to play the 3 full time so do not worry about keeping weight on or adding weight during the season in case you are needed to play the 4. I'll bring in other players for that. I need you to tailor your game into a full time wing and get back to being a transition player. We want to run this year. Also, in the triangle the 2 guard usually trials the pg so we want you busting your but up floor to take advantage of the easy points available. |

He's also taking half his contract as an advance to help him get into shape.

WOW! I had no idea that players could even do that. I don't know how this avoided my notice this long. That's a big deal for a player in terms of investment. You can get that money and put it to work sooner I guess.
I could care less what the reason for Melo getting his conditioning up to an elite level is. Long as he plays better and starts making the needed changes to his game and gets to that elite level in the league. I want to see this team winning again and if money motivates this guy so be it. Just get it done Phil. I wanna see the new "TriMelo"™ . |

if melo were to one day come into camp in l33t shape, he would drop 35 points per game and win us 50 games in the triangle

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Coon said Kobe was able to get 80% of his season salary in advance.

Not sure how getting paid different amounts through out the year when your gross pay is the same means you are money hungry or how that is a character flaw. I would love to hear your interpretation. Herring got it wrong and corrected it.CrushAlot wrote:Coon said Kobe was able to get 80% of his season salary in advance. I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18
