Why do we need a scoring SG when Melo does most his scoring deep outside on the perimeter?

I think I would make the trade after today, hopefully get the Laker pick this year.

That would put Anthony back at SF put a low post scorer in the strating line up and a more efficient double digit scorer at 2g

Line up

Tyson Chandler
Jermaine Oneal
Carmelo Anthony
Jared dudley
Ray felton

Amare
JR
Novak
Kidd

Again Id take reddick but hes not coming here for what we are offering(shumpert)

This is basically the team that started the season with Dudley for Brwer and Onel for Wallace--moving Kidd back to back up PG

O'Neal just complicates the trade- it just means we have to give up more players, and then find more replacements- he's not worth it at all.

This is on yahoo sports player notes regarding Dudley:

Dudley's name surfaced in some trade talks over the weekend, specifically in a potential deal to New York in exchange for Iman Shumpert, according to USA Today. That could have played a role in the Suns limiting Dudley's minutes, or it could have just been a byproduct of his shoddy play of late, as he's averaging 6.6 points on 38.7 percent shooting over his last five contests.

Yeah this guy is going to become an absolute beast as a Knick(datrolling eyes)

So you judge a player based on their FGA?! And you judge them as a player based on their first 10 games back from a torn ACL?! An absolute joke- do you really believe that?

I've been keeping an eye on Rubio, as he came back a few weeks before Shumpert. Basically he looked terrible for his first 17 or 18 games, and has looked much better his last 5 or 6:

Dec: 5 games FG 23.8% 3PT 0% AST 4 TO's 2.4 PTS 4.2
Jan: 12 games FG 29.0% 3PT 10% AST 5.7 TO's 2.6 PTS 5.4
Feb: 6 games FG 42.6% 3PT 33.3% AST 9.0 TO's 2.5 PTS 12.8

So hopefully Shumpert will take a step forward by March

1st round pick going to Orlando

Chandler
Melo/Amare
Dudley/JR
Reddick/Kidd
Felton/Priggy

If a deal needs to be made, how bout one that brings some help to the frontline, since KT either cannot play or Woodson refuses to play him? It was amazing how many second chance shots the Clips got in the second half yesterday and it just drains the defensive units' energy (not that it was even there). Tyson needs some help already and relying on Camby and Sheed is foolish.

AND ENOUGH WITH THE SWITCHING. I thought that was a D'Antoni thing...

Melo's influence reigns supreme.....
