Milsap, Melo, Gasol, Calderon, Shump?

Well there's more players available. You would have to click the link to see the guys bleacher report highlights.

Maxing out DeAndre Jordan to play in the triangle? Maxing it Leanard to play the 4 next to Melo? That's doesn't make sense either

Overall Id much rather Phil target a couple quality guys instead of blowing the entire wad on someone like Gasol or Rondo.

bingo!!

SGs- Wesley Matthews, Danny Green, Aaron Afflalo

SFs- Kris Middleton, Tobias Harris

PFs- Paul Millsap, Brandon Bass(probably on cheap), Tristen Thompson,

PF/C- Greg Monroe(Al Jefferson Jr with better passing?) needs to improve his jumper (I'd choose the cheaper Bass and would not blink and eye although Bass might be cheap enough to get both or another PF plus another player. I see him as a MLE player.

Cs- Gasol, Asik, Lopez

Lmao!!! This is true. I don't really like anyone on the list truthfully. Knicks will be able to sign someone or possibly 2 if we scoop the cheaper ones. That's why i chose Milsap and Gasol. We'd definitely be the slowest team in the league lol

Gasol is slow; while Millsap is quick enough to cover 3's. I really like that frontcourt you came up with. Excellent passing and each person in the frontcourt has an inside-outside game. But I think its a long shot that we get Marc Gasol into a Knick uniform although I'd love it if we did. More likely than not, we'll have to settle for Greg Monroe as our 5, which I have mixed feelings on.

P.S., with key members of the Nuggets core struggling, I'd still look into parlaying a deal with them. I think the ex-Knicks they have (and Darrell Arthur) would fit the triangle like a glove. Unfortunately, those guys are not great rebounders, so there would be some cause for concern. I doubt they'd put us into contention but would certainly make be an improvement and would make things interesting.

I agree the Nuggets look like a team that desperately needs to flush out a bit. I personally do not think FA next year is that great--rather flush out and be realistic for 2016. I already made a post where Id be willing to take on Mcgee's contract for next year IF I get Greene and this years top 5 restricted #1. We need cheap assets that can be material gains to build a core foundation. If you take an honest look at our situation--we need two years at a minimum to revamp. That is UNLESS multiple teams want to give us longer contracts for our ending contracts--weve tried that before and failed--but it is an option.

I definitely think that McGee gets a bad rap, some deserved but most of it overstated. People tend to look at him and view him in terms of what he SHOULD be, instead of what he can do. I'm watching the Nuggets game as we speak and it's clear that he can have some value to an NBA franchise, if he's coming off the bench. Paying a backup $11 million/yr makes fans a bit weary but McGee wouldn't be attainable if he wasn't a bit overpaid. In any case, I'd take a waiver on the guy at the right price. I don't know if we could extract a pick from that Nuggets team but I suspect that they'd be willing to offer several core players if it allowed them to condense an extremely deep roster and to save some money in the process.
