and how do you think we should acquire Tony Snell?

I never get why people keep going on about how they find him ugly. It's pretty nasty and irrelevant- would you like it if everyone on the internet started saying it about you?

He's a JV high school player. Hey, give him credit -- he looked ok today. Who would you guys rather see--Travis wear or JaMychal green, Khem birch, Thomas Robinson, etc...yeah he's getting paid(just got his 2nd 10 day contract) but JaMychal green isn't even playing in Memphis right now. I thought he wanted pt?? Isn't that why he left the Spurs? Over here, I would be giving him 35 mins a night and 15-20 shots. Did Phil guarantee him that for the rest of the year? Probably not. Better question--why not?

Travis wear doesn't belong in the nba. He needs to hit the d league circuit for a while.

As far as Phil not signing guys.... these players have to want to come to NY.....they chose to sign where they signed. To fans like you and I, coming to ny is a great opportunity to get minutes and increase my stock and get more money. This generation wants to ride the coattails of guys that are already winners and somehow sidestep paying dues to getting starters minutes right away.

We just have to be patient that some players want to come here and compete. It's going to take a special kinda player

Disagree. First off, DAMN GOOD player coming into the NBA out of Nevada. Drafted what, 18 or so, right? Dude has talent...Yeah he hasn't created much in the NBA for 2 reasons -- hasn't really played a ton (only averaging 12.5 mins per in 197 games total so far career), and because he probably hasn't be asked to -- I'd be willing to bet Portland and now New Orleans want him out on the perimeter shooting 3s and not much else. Over here, I'd want more. I'd want to see the whole package. It's there -- he actually can put it on the floor where he can finish at the goal or just enough to open up his mid-range game. And then I like his size (legit 6'9" SF with good length to boot) which enables him to offer something on the glass. He's got a little scrappiness to him. I like the guy -- nice young talent that shouldn't be too expensive. Just keeping it in perspective -- if Melo makes it back 100% and Early begins to show his worth to the point where we can pencil him in as a primary SF backup/rotation player for next year, there may not be too much of a need for Babbitt. However, if Melo's can't start next year 100% and Early continues to **** the bed, there's more of a need for him. Even so, wouldn't be a bad guy to have around for additional depth/3-pt shooting behind those 2 anyway. Who knows -- we may come to the realization that Cleanthony Early's not for us (maybe he's not an NBA player -- just sayin' although I'm nowhere near ready to say that definitively yet) -- Early may have value in a trade (a big reason I want the guy playing and not buried by Fisher for long stretches on the bench -- let's see if Early can put up a few 20-pt games here. We can only benefit -- either we then see him as a keeper or he'll boost his trade value). If we could get something for Early and then turn around and fill the backup SF spot with Luke Babbitt, provided he's not too expensive--that's not a bad option and something to consider.

im a closet Pelicans fan. ever since the knicks suck, i picked up NBA league pass and i watch this team play. Babbitt is a horrible player. LOL. period. hes embarrassing on defense, he cant create his own shot. sure he 3s go in only when he has 5 minutes to shoot is set shot. this kid shouldnt even play in the NBA.
