Offense all over the place, D with Shump and TC. Still need an enforcer off the bench ala KMART.
You are assuming Bargs can shoot. Well, he hasn't shot well in the last 3 years.
You say that Novak was nothing, but guess who led the Knicks in 3 pt shooting last year as well as the year before. Yep Novak. Last year he "fell" to 43% from 47% the yr before. The Knicks take the most 3 pt shots of any team. Bargs can't shoot 3 pointers any more. 30.9%; 29.6%; 34.5% in the past 3 years. Don't give me the excuse that Bargs was injured. How many games will Bargs be able to play this year? Novak missed one game last year.
Novak can't play defense and doesn't rebound. But neither does Bargs. The excuse people make for Bargs is that he plays on the perimeter. But so does Novak.
Turnovers - Knicks had the fewest turnovers of any team in the league. Novak had .1 turnovers/game. Yes the decimal point is in the right place. 1/10 of a turnover/game. Bargs was respectable for the amt of action he gets at 1.1 last year and 2.0 the year before.
Re: Camby - I am not sure why Woody didn't play him even when Camby was healthy. The previous year, Camby, at age 38 had an excellent year. Maybe Woody doesn't like Camby?
The idea that we are trading Novak to free up cap space for 2015-16 is ridiculous. That is 2 whole years from now. We'd have lots of time....and till have the picks to add if we needed, to make a trade. And less years on Novaks contract for another team to take on.
Bad trade. I hope Stern disallows it.
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
