novak: here you may have a point but lets see how often melo sets novak up, either directly or hockey wise. the way the offense works, if melo is drawing a double we mostly see novak on the weak side. right? if he isn't drawing a double how often does melo go iso?
smith: he is an awful decision-maker out there, basically a schoolyard chucker. i see no sympatico between him or melo in terms of playmaking for each other.
brewer: see novak

Have you watched the games? The team has posted up Melo, waited for the double, and he would kick it out to usually JR and then have it swung around if the shots not open. Felton was in that too. That was usually with the starters though after Brewer served his usual 5 minutes and JR subbed in for him. So, you do have a point with Brewer and Novak since Woody doesnt play them together that much

lets watch the game with what you claim in mind and compare notes.

we would've been paying him $5, $5 & $15

and had we been more proactive instead of reactive we could've locked him up before Houston added the poison pill last minute

Instead we were focused on trading Shumpert for Nash and expecting Nash to accept a measly $5mil MLE

Being proactive would have forced Lin to sign for 5 mil per. He would have left 9 mil on the table for just three years. The Knicks were trying to do right by him and pay him more than 5 mil. They didn't anticipate that someone would structure a contract the way Houston did. Knicks would have matched the first offer.

Don't believe it for one second; while Lin was trying to get a contract from other teams, the Knicks were working a sing and trade deal for Steve Nash. THEY HAD NO FAITH IN LIN AT ALL.
