Jose needs to retire and work on coaching. I bet even when we buy him out no one picks him up... Dude is strait trash. Good guy but God aweful basketball player

The triangle does not need a pure PG. If you have ball handling skills, and can pass the ball, you will be just fine if you can also make shots

But it does need someone who can actually bring the ball up the court to start the offense.

Melo?

We need to try to take some responsibility and wear and tear off Melo's knees.

I hope Jerian was shooting 1000 jumpers a day over the past week and a half.

I'm pretty sure jimmer can run the offense .. He's running the same one in westchester

I believe that if the knick dont make a trade, jimmer will probably get a call, but is anybody asking themselves why nobody else is giving him a 10 day..why isn't anybody braking down the door to sign him despite the video game type numbers.

He is going to get smoked by every pg in the league

Hard telling really. Could be that Jimmer is just feeling the opposite of what kept him in the league. I am not opposed to Jimmer being here, because I think he can play in the triangle and like I said if my 15th player is a 90+ shooter from the line he is better than most players at that level. I just don't want him getting KP in foul trouble. Westchester does a great job protecting...I don't know if we can. I think like most people...just get the 10 day out of the way and the drama could be over for good. I really do want him to stick though because he does create excitement for a crappy team.

Big guards with skills are the best fit IMO. We all saw how Shved took to this like a fish in water, cuz he was pretty much the prototypical Triangle Guard. Shved was a better fit for that Kobe, MJ role than AA is. AA isn't as quick to the basket nor the passer that you want in that role.

Jimmer IMO is kind of like a younger more offensive minded Jose. I think he could function well enough on offense but of course he'd be weak on D. He would be an upgrade over what we get from Jerian at this point.

Two guys that fit that description: 6'6" Spencer Dinwiddie and 6'4" E'twaun Moore. Dinwiddie would take a trade but unlike other more high profile players, I think we have the pieces to get him and Moore is an UFA this summer who shouldn't be too expensive at all. Moore could be a lot of bang for buck. Two multi-faceted guards I hope Phil is keeping an eye on.
