To me it seems like everyone's value on this team took a major hit last season, not just melo.

1)Jennings just signed a 1 yr deal in china
2)Rose took a 90% pay cut at 27 yrs old
3)the rockets offering trash for melo (who was a all star last season)
4)Noah had other offers besides the knicks last season, but we signed him to a NTC with out an actual NTC
5)lee also had multiple teams interested last off season
6)kuz name hasn't even come up in any conversation whatsoever and he'll be 28 this yr
7)Lance- see kuz
8)KOQ seems like a throw in regarding any trade

What does that say about the roster we constructed last yr?

Maybe it says the Kniks aren't shopping those players?

Are you saying every good NBA player has been involved in a trade rumor in the last month?

We should be even better this year and hopefully will get another young talent.
This was a plan all along and we should continue with it for another 1-2 years.
Then we will have assets to stay and form a Team or trade to do same.

I thought a player becomes a asset when he and his team performs well.

Think about it, if we win 20 something games this yr, how would that raise KP's value, would you still consider KP a true franchise player.

Why does his value need raising if the Knicks intend to keep him?

His value rising means 2 things 1)his game has improved 2)he's making others around him better

Ewing carried the knicks from DAY 1, which is why he lasted 14 yrs on the same team.

maybe he isnt that good, might be more of a borderline All star. The ones who say he will develop into a top 5 player in the NBA are crazy but thats just my opinion

Who do you think the Knicks can get?

You must be trolling. No real Knick fan could be this ignorant.

Knicks record his first 3 seasons.

23-59 (50 GP)
24-58 (63 GP)
33-44

For good measure, they went 39-43 in '91-92.

Knicks lost the 1st 8 games Ewings rookie yr. How did he carry them from day 1? Need more than 1 player. Really only player I saw that changed a team by himself was Larry Bird.

Hold up! Ewing was 23 in his rookie year. KP hasn't even hit 22 yet.

KP has been playing with grown man since he was 17..
