Carmelo - thibs is known to like him and he and Rose probably view him as a stretch 4 fit. Inevitable reunion.

Taj Gibson - almost a guarantee he’s brought back now, even at a lower price.

Ball or Haliburton - If they move up in the draft via ping pong balls or trade it will be for Ball, who’s a CAA guy. If they stay put and Haliburton is there he just makes a lot of sense. He’s known as a defensive high upside guard and has a rep as a good locker room presence/ hard worker. No doubt thibs struggled with Wiggins and towns because they aren’t known as hard workers. He shouldn’t have that problem with RJ and Mitch and also Haliburton if drafted.

I sincerely think Thibs was hired for sake of getting that done, knowing that’s the easiest and cheapest way of taking the Knicks to the next level. If we got them and Iggy playing better and staying on the court, then we could at least be fighting for a playoff spot.

Can’t expect this to remain a rebuilding effort though. Thibs is 62 and will want instant results. I see RJ Mitch and Frank all being a big part with Thibs. Not sure about Knox or Iggy. There will only be room for 4 young players in the rotation tops.

I said it in another thread, the thing you like About RJ, Frank, mitch and Knox is they work. Fizdale despite bring a crappy coach, vouched for the work ethic of those players. Know it is up to thibs to progress them.

With a coach now, I'd still join the summer tournament for the non bubble teams and see first hand what he has, look at it like an open tryout for them and include guys like wooten

As much as I love Melo, I'd go after the Morris twins to fill up our frontcourt position and bring back hark less and gibson

Yeah sounds like a good team. Bring back Melo to start 4 man. Give mortises all our cap space abd re up Gibson at 12 million!!!!

LOL you do realize that the knicks can decline the option of taj and resign him to a much lower deal?

Ill be clear, if Randle stays or we draft wiseman or toppin, I'll own sign 1 Morris, but if we trade Randle and draft a guard, I'd sign both twins.

I’d put 1000$ we trade all our picks.

Jeff Teague? Melo? Like rose is laughing and enriching his CAA guys with no concern for winning?

Don't people do that routinely when they get a new job? They only think about the last place the worked and kinda have that angle on their minds all the time?

Can we get all the Tibs fanboys to agree that if we trade any picks/youth for Chris Paul or someone similar, that Rose is no different from Isiah, and nothing will ever change until Dolan is the former owner.
